The Allen Institute for AI is hiring a
Research Scientist

Summary

Join a tight-knit team of scientists and software engineers collaborating with external climate modeling groups to use novel ML approaches to enable coarse-grid climate models to better emulate the weather and climate of ultra-fine grid reference simulations.

Requirements

• You must have substantial experience building and deploying a relevant ML application in a practical or academic research setting and be fluent in Python and collaborative coding practices
• You must have a Ph. D. in computer or computational science, atmospheric science or a related geophysical science, or applied mathematics/statistics, with at least one first-authored publication making extensive use of ML
• Demonstrated excellent communications skills

Responsibilities

• Collaboratively design and deploy the next generation of our ML system that makes much more computationally efficient models of the global atmosphere, land and ocean that accurately simulate past and future climates
• Implement and improve novel generative AI methods for roll-out and downscaling, in a rapidly evolving field of study
• Help create an open-source product that the climate modeling community and climate-sensitive decision-makers can really use
• Disseminate new methods and findings in conferences and scientific journals
• Work with and learn from team members in the Climate Modeling group and across Ai2, as well as our external collaborators
• Mentor graduate student interns

Benefits

• Team members and their families are covered by medical, dental, vision, basic life insurance, basic accidental death and dismemberment insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, and an employee assistance program
• Team members are able to enroll in our voluntary life insurance program, our voluntary accidental death and dismemberment program, our health savings account plan, our healthcare reimbursement arrangement plan, and our health care and dependent care flexible spending account plans
• Team members are able to enroll in our company’s 401k plan
• $125 per month to assist with commuting or internet expenses and are eligible to receive up to $200 reimbursement for health and wellbeing expenses per month
• Up to ten sick days per year, up to seven personal days per year, up to 20 vacation days per year and twelve paid holidays throughout the calendar year
• Annual bonuses and can participate in the long-term incentive plan
