Baltic State Technical University

The Faculty of Science invites applications for  DOCTORAL RESEARCHER in atmospheric sciences starting latest in January 2027 in a fixed term contract of 3 years. Background Weather forecasting helps us plan daily activities and prepare for extreme events. Today, most forecasts rely on powerful computer models that simulate the atmosphere using the laws of physics. These models are accurate but require enormous computing power. Artificial intelligence (AI) can predict the weather much faster and with less energy, but we still don’t fully understand how they make their predictions. The AI-Dream project will explore how AI “thinks” about weather by simplifying complex AI models and testing them under controlled conditions. By combining the speed of AI with the physical accuracy of traditional weather models, AI-Dream aims to create a new generation of forecasting tools that are faster, more efficient, and more trustworthy, helping scientists and society better anticipate weather events and the climate. The doctoral researcher will be working on the AI-Dream project. They will have to develop criteria and evaluation suites to test the “physical” accuracy of deep Machine Learning (ML) models. The doctoral researcher will also use state-of-the-art methods to make the ML models explainable, namely Deep Linear Probes and Latent Space Cartography. This work will be associated with large dataset management in a HPC environment. The doctoral researcher will work as part of the dynamic meteorology group at INAR, and be supervised by Dr. Clément Bouvier. The group covers a range of topics including atmospheric deep convection, extra-tropical cyclones, heat waves, ensemble prediction and algorithmic parameter estimation techniques as well as future changes to our weather and climate on global and regional scales. The work will be done in close collaboration with the University of Cambridge (Cambridge, UK), the Washington University (Washington, US), the ECMWF (Reading, UK), and the Lahti University of Technology (Lahti, FI). Doctoral researcher position We are seeking a talented and motivated doctoral researcher (PhD student), who recently completed their MSc degree in the field of Physics, Meteorology, Computer Science, or any other similar area. MSc students near the completion of their degree are also encouraged to apply. The candidate should have: Willingness to pursue a PhD degree in meteorology Good skills in written and spoken English Strong experience in dynamic meteorology Some previous experience in programming in Python and statistical analysis of scientific data is wished for.
