Dear Colleagues,

can you please spread the following job advertisement in your department.

Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI), the Dutch national center for Mathematics and Computer Science based in Amsterdam, is seeking candidates (both at PhD and postdoctoral level) to conduct research on the topic of Machine Learning applied to Space Weather.

The positions involve research in machine learning techniques and Bayesian inference, applied to real-time forecasting of energetic electrons in the Earth radiation belts. The aim of this project is to advance our space weather prediction capability by enhancing physics based models with a new data-driven probabilistic framework, and it will involve state-of-the-art numerical simulations, Bayesian parameters estimation, uncertainty quantification and machine learning techniques.

The project ‘Real-time forecasting of killer electrons on satellite orbits’ is funded by NWO, the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research, through a 5-years VIDI grant. During the first half of the project, we aim to hire two postdocs (two years) and one PhD student (four years).

Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. 
Application screening will begin on 15 September 2017.
