Additional Information

Thank you for considering a career with the Research Foundation of The City University of New York (RFCUNY). The team at RFCUNY is made up of dedicated, talented professionals committed to providing the services that allow CUNY researchers, faculty, and staff to focus on their intellectual curiosity and scientific discoveries. We are pleased that you are interested in exploring opportunities to join RFCUNY. Primary Location: NYC COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY Bargaining Unit: Yes The postdoctoral researcher will work on one or more of these aspects: Efficient representation - What are the most informative features to use for this task? Can we generate new ones? Better ML modeling - Everything about improving the machine learning modeling and making it more resilient to generalization, from new algorithms that capture relational inductive biases to domain adaptation strategies to equation discovery. Tests of Generalization - The predicted global pCO2 field derived from the infilling is a crucial input for the Global Carbon Budget, but we can't test its accuracy directly. We use Earth System Models (ESMs) and Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Models (GOBMs) as testbeds to better understand the reconstruction process and to build resilience into our representation and ML modeling above. Testing ESMs and GOBMs: Through our work on optimal representation, we also plan to develop custom metrics to assess how well the relationship between feature variables and pCO2is captured in the models, compared to the observations.
