| Ocean Surface Boundary Layer Mixing Parameterizations using Machine LearningApplyD-24-AOS-00010 | Atmospheric & Oceanic Sciences | Research | Last Updated 03/11/2024 | Posting Expires 03/06/2025 11:59 PM, ESTThe Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program at Princeton University, in association with NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), seeks a postdoctoral or more senior scientist to conduct research on developing and using machine learned parameterizations for mixing in the ocean surface boundary layer. Our previous work has demonstrated the utility of using neural networks to improve ad-hoc components of the existing ocean surface boundary layer mixing parameterization in the GFDL ocean climate model (https://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2023MS003890). The new research will build on this work, specifically devoted to further improving other poorly constrained processes with the aid of a set of Large Eddy Simulations and other higher-order turbulence closure methods. This work will involve running new simulations to generate training data, using Machine Learning techniques to infer modifications to the mixing parameterizations, implementing the scheme in a global circulation model (MOM6), and evaluating the new parameterization within a global-scale climate model. The work is part of a larger project, M2LInES, covering eleven institutions. The overall goal is to reduce climate model biases at the air-sea/ice interface by improving subgrid physics in the ocean, sea ice and atmosphere components of existing coarse ( to 1) resolution IPCC-class climate models, and their coupling, using machine learning. The postdoc will be expected to collaborate with other postdocs at Princeton and with other members of the M2LInES project across multiple institutions. In addition to a quantitative background, the selected candidates will ideally have one or more of the following attributes: a) a background in physical oceanography, or machine learning, or a closely related field; b) experience with ocean-circulation or climate models, or turbulence closure parameterizations; and c) experience, or demonstrated interest, in machine learning. Candidates must have a Ph.D. and preferably in oceanography, geophysical fluid dynamics, computer science, or a closely related field. The term of appointment is based on rank. Positions at the postdoctoral rank are for one year with the possibility of renewal pending satisfactory performance and continued funding; those hired at more senior ranks may have multi-year appointments. Complete applications, including a cover letter, CV, publication list, research statement (no more than 2 pages incl. references), and 3 letters of recommendation should be submitted by April 15, 2024, 11:59 pm EST for full consideration.

| Postdoctoral Research AssociateApplyD-22-MOL-00010 | Molecular Biology | ResearchEach of us harbor biological timers in our bodies known as the circadian clock. These clocks drive physiological processes and behaviors in coordination with the day-night cycle. Recent work has provided evidence that the circadian clock regulates immune functions in coordination with the day-night cycle. However, the underlying mechanisms by which the circadian clock drives rhythms in immunity are ill-defined. The Brooks lab seeks to mechanistically determine circadian clock regulation of innate immune functions at the intestinal epithelial barrier. Forming the first line of defense, the intestinal epithelium must acquire nutrients from the diet while maintaining harmony with a vast consortium of microorganisms known collectively as the microbiota. Endemic to the epithelium are specialized epithelial and immune cell types that produce antimicrobial proteins, bolster the epithelial barrier, and coordinate immune responses. These fundamental functions of innate immunity are regulated by the time of day. The Brooks lab is seeking a postdoctoral candidate or more senior researcher to characterize the impact of clocks across the intestinal epithelial barrier on host defense. The successful candidate will join a highly collaborative group with strengths in cell biology, mouse genetics, and molecular biology. The P.I. is dedicated to providing a nurturing training environment with the acknowledgment that mentorship must be tailored to the individual. The ideal applicant will be highly motivated; have a Ph.D. degree; research experience in one or more of the following cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, genetics, immunology, and/or microbiology; Fluent in English language and writing skills. Experience with one or more of the following is a plus: Flow cytometry, electron microscopy, bioinformatics, microscopy, or bacterial genetics. This appointment is for one year with the possibility of renewal pending satisfactory performance and availability of funding. Applications from members of groups historically under-represented in molecular biology are strongly encouraged. To apply, please submit a cover letter, CV, and three letters of recommendation to: https://puwebp.princeton.edu/AcadHire/position/25401 Review of the applications will begin on May 1st and will continue until the position is filled.
