We seek a PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Earth Science, Environmental Science, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geography, Water Resources Engineering, Fluvial Geomorphology or a related physical science field. The appointment is for 1-year initially but potentially renewable. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work under the supervision of Professors Laura V. Alvarez and Hernan A. Moreno within the Center for Geospatial Sensing and Sampling of the Environment (GeoSenSE). The guiding research topic is on supervised, unsupervised and reinforced learning to improve Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models that study macro-turbulence, sediment transport and bed evolution in large-scale river systems. The desired skills of potential candidates are: (1) Expertise on both machine and deep learning techniques, and (2) Computer programming using Linux platforms (e.g. C++, R or Python). Applications will be reviewed in a daily basis. Interested candidates should email their CV to Prof. Alvarez (alvarez@utep.edu) and prof. Moreno (moreno@utep.edu). Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is found.
