Postdoctoral Research Associate of Meteorology- Ethical and Responsible AI for Weather and Climate
University of Oklahoma
Job Description
Basic Purpose/Job Function:
The NSF AI Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography (AI2ES) is an NSF funded AI Institute that brings together universities, government, and private industry to develop trustworthy AI for environmental science. AI2ES will uniquely benefit humanity by developing novel, physically based AI techniques that are demonstrated to be trustworthy, and will directly improve prediction, understanding, and communication of high-impact environmental hazards.
We are looking for a Postdoctoral Research Associate with expertise in AI/machine learning, Earth System sciences and ethical and responsible conduct of research. Ensuring that AI is developed and deployed in an ethical and responsible manner is a key part of creating trustworthy AI. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will extend our work on bias categorizations for Earth Science applications and help to create a bias and risk management framework.
This Postdoctoral Research Associate position will be located at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK (remote work is possible) and will work with Dr. Amy McGovern, the PI and director of the AI2ES institute and Dr Ann Bostrom (co-lead of risk communication for AI2ES, located at the University of Washington). The Postdoctoral Research Associate will also collaborate with other institute personnel at the University of Oklahoma in the School of Computer Science and the School of Meteorology as well as with personnel across AI2ES. This collaboration will also be in conjunction with NIST and their AI Safety Institute as well as with other agencies including NOAA.
Position Summary
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will be a key part of a team that is focused on developing ethical and trustworthy AI for Earth Science applications. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work with interdisciplinary collaborators across the institute. At the University of Oklahoma, this will include working with the School of Computer Science and the School of Meteorology as well as colleagues at NOAA and NIST. This is an exciting position that will allow the Postdoctoral Research Associate to work at the forefront of the development of trustworthy AI and ethical guidelines for the rapidly growing field of AI applied to the Earth Sciences.
Expected job duties
Research in ethical and responsible trustworthy AI and responsible conduct of research (70% time)
