    The Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at NYU is seeking expressions of interest from a highly motivated Postdoctoral researcher with expertise in machine learning and data science to join our team as part of the ACCLIMATISE project. This project aims to employ advanced machine learning methods to downscale climate data for high-resolution intervention planning, with a focus on public health applications across West Africa. ACCLIMATISE brings together experts from diverse fields, including machine learning, climate modeling, vector-borne disease modeling, and wireless technologies. The project is co-designed with research partners and stakeholders from Senegal, Ethiopia, and Kenya to ensure our solutions are practical and impactful. Project Overview The successful candidate will develop machine learning models to downscale (super-resolution) large-scale climate model outputs to the sub-kilometer scale, enabling actionable insights for health-related interventions at the local scale. Advanced ML techniques, including generative models and probabilistic methods, will be essential in meeting these goals. In addition, the project incorporates demographic, mobility, and gender data to build more robust, realistic models of climate-sensitive interventions, requiring innovative approaches for multi-modal data integration. Key Responsibilities Develop and implement advanced ML algorithms, including generative models, for downscaling climate data. Work with large geospatial datasets and locally collected (single point) measurements. Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams from Europe and Africa and engage with stakeholders in Senegal, Ethiopia, and Kenya. Travel to West Africa once a year to attend annual meetings, work closely with local collaborators and ensure solutions meet regional needs. This full-time appointment is available for a start date in December or January.

The successful candidate will work with **Dr. Aparajeo Chattopadhyay** and **Professor Vasilii Petrenko** on an atmospheric chemistry gas kinetics project recently funded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (NSF-AGS). In this laboratory project, we aim to investigate the kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) of methane (CH 4 ) in atmospheric removal through reactions with the hydroxyl (OH) radical and the chlorine (Cl) atom, employing a temperature and pressure-controlled laser photochemical reactor coupled with online and offline spectroscopic determinations of relevant chemical species for kinetic analysis. Tunable Infrared Laser Direct Absorption Spectroscopy (TILDAS) is the primary analytical technique used in this study for high-precision measurement of methane isotopologues (d 13 C and dD).
