Research Engineer, Climate Modeling

Ai2 is a nonprofit AI research institute whose Climate Modeling team uses machine learning to improve physics-based climate models. The Research Engineer will develop the NeuralGCM+ AI-powered hybrid climate model, adapt its training pipeline for cloud and NVIDIA GPU environments, couple it with an ML-based ocean model, and support open-source adoption through documentation and tutorials.

Responsibilities:

• Adapting the training pipeline and data needs of NeuralGCM to run efficiently on Google Cloud resources and on NVIDIA GPUs. Note that NeuralGCM is written in JAX and implemented on TPUs
• Documenting this training pipeline and distributing code on a GitHub repo
• Implementing and testing a strategy for coupling NeuralGCM with the chosen ML ocean model
• Open-source code development as part of a tightly connected team, including daily meetings, code review, design documents and external collaborators
• Develop and present tutorials on NeuralGCM+ to interested user groups
