JOB OPENING: Postdoctoral Position in the Mathematics/Space Physics at the University of Oulu, Finland.

We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher in a project "Data-Driven Identification of Dynamical Systems with Applications in Space Physics". The position is in the Research Unit of Mathematical Sciences, but the work will be carried out in close collaboration with researchers in the Research Unit of Space Physics and Astronomy.

We combine classical and numerical methods from the theory of differential equations and inverse problems with new emerging tools in computational data science including Approximative Bayesian Computation to obtain interpretable learning systems capable of predicting complex physical processes The research will concentrate on developing and applying methodologies of data science and artificial intelligence to tackle research problems related to space climate and space weather. The postdoctoral position is for 3 years, starting in May 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter. The candidate should have PhD in Computational or Applied Mathematics, Statistics or Physics or a related field.

We offer an interesting and versatile position in a novel, multi-disciplinary project combining cutting edge mathematical research with solar-terrestrial science, as well as the possibility to develop professionally in a supportive and enthusiastic environment.
