The Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) on the Foothills Campus at Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins, CO, seeks to hire a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on the development of machine learning methods for several environmental remote sensing applications. This Postdoctoral Fellowship is a 12-month appointment with a flexible start date between 10 March 2025 and 10 June 2025, and option to renew for an additional year contingent upon satisfactory performance and available funding.
The individual in this Fellowship will support multiple projects funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as related to operational geostationary and polar-orbiting satellite programs (GOES, JPSS, and GeoXO) and will be involved in CIRA's global 3D satellite atmospheric cloud research. Target projects include estimating quantitative global cloud properties with various satellite sensors and developing physical and statistical methods to quantify cloud characteristics. They will also explore applications for weather and climate research to offer critical new insights to existing environmental satellite data records together with in-situ and model data, utilizing physics/statistics-based approaches and AI/machine learning methods if applicable.
