PhD Position Physics-Aware Foundation Models for Climate Research-
Job description

This PhD project will address the following fundamental challenges on how to achieve this for practical large-scale systems.:

- Developing a large-scale physically consistent FM: You will integrate atmosphere, surface, and subsurface earth observations to develop FMs for modelling the erath and climate system that incorporate multiple physical principles, especially considering system dynamics. You will explore incorportating prior physics knowledge throughg the use of datasets, loss functions, or model architectures.
- Balancing interpretability and generalization: While adding physical constraints can improve interpretability and reliability, it can also potentially restrict the model's ability to generalize to diverse datasets or adapt to novel scenarios. You will investigate balancing between incorporating constraints and maintaining flexibility from a more fundamental aspect.
- Enhancing Sustainability: You will investigate how to reduce the energy consumption associated with training and maintaining FMs, addressing urgent climate challenges.

**Requirements**:
To be considered for the position, you will have:

- MSc degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Geophysics, Applied Physics, Computational Physics, or a closely related field.
- Good theoretical understanding of the fundamentals of Machine and Deep Learning.
- Basic knowledge and a keen interest in Applied (Geo)Physics.
- Strong programming skills (preferably Python) and experience with Machine and Deep Learning tools and techniques.
- Ability to work independently (taking initiative, being organized and creative) as well as to collaborate effectively across multiple disciplines (especially with geophysicists).
- Strong interpersonal communication and collaboration abilities
- Good communication skills and proficiency in English.

Conditions of employment

The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.

TU Delft (Delft University of Technology)

Delft University of Technology is built on strong foundations. As creators of the world-famous Dutch waterworks and pioneers in biotech, TU Delft is a top international university combining science, engineering and design. It delivers world class results in education, research and innovation to address challenges in the areas of energy, climate, mobility, health and digital society. For generations, our engineers have proven to be entrepreneurial problem-solvers, both in business and in a social context.

Challenge. Change. Impact

Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future-proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment - which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
