• Strong programming experience;

• Strong interest in the application of machine learning to  science and engineering problems;

• A record of relevant publications in the peer-reviewed scientific literature appropriate to their career stage; 

• Ability to work independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team. 

• Ability to work in a fast pace environment 

For full consideration, applicants should submit via Interfolio, the following by August 13th 2023:
