About the role

  • This role sits at the intersection of hydrology, weather and climate science, and large-scale machine learning.
  • Scientist will help shape how hydrologic process understanding, climate data, and modern ML methods are brought together in next-generation prediction systems, with emphasis on scientifically grounded model development and evaluation.

Responsibilities

  • Build and oversee reproducible workflows for data processing, model training, benchmarking, and validation.
  • Collaborate closely with research, engineering, and data teams to translate scientific goals into scalable technical execution.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of postdoctoral, industry, or applied research experience in climate ML, weather ML, hydrologic modeling, Earth system modeling, or a closely related field.
  • Demonstrated experience with ML-accelerated weather, climate, or hydrology models, with a strong publication track record in the area.
  • Experience with the computational infrastructure required to manage, preprocess, and train on large-scale climate datasets, preferably in the AWS ecosystem.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and experience with modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently in fast-paced, ambiguous environments while collaborating effectively across disciplines.
  • This is a cross-functional role requiring strong technical depth, structured scientific thinking, and the ability to move between foundational research and applied execution.
  • If you have some of the experience listed above but not all, please apply anyway.
  • PhD in machine learning, computational science, Earth science, atmospheric science, hydrology, AI, computer science, or a related quantitative discipline.
  • Experience working with large climate datasets, including reanalysis products, remote sensing datasets, observational datasets, and model output.
  • Background in scientific ML, spatiotemporal modeling, data assimilation, hybrid physics-ML methods, or related approaches is strongly preferred.
  • Ability to design rigorous evaluation frameworks, performance metrics, and benchmarking approaches for environmental prediction systems.
  • Strong technical writing and communication skills, including reports, presentations, and peer-reviewed publications.

Nice to have

  • Experience leading cross-functional scientific efforts, mentoring researchers, or helping define research roadmaps is preferred.

Compensation

  • Protocos currently offers healthcare coverage, annual incentive program, retirement benefits and a broad range of other benefits.

Benefits
