The Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Scholar to join our team at the University of Central Florida's Department of Physics. The successful candidate will work with Prof. Ramses Ramirez and colleagues on a project to simulate and make observational predictions of magma ocean atmospheres orbiting F-M stars.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Run climate models and generate training datasets for machine learning models.
  • Develop and train machine learning radiative transfer models for magma ocean planets.
  • Update the Bayesian Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (BART) tool to include incident light scattering by gases and condensates.
Requirements:
  • Ph.D. in Physics, Planetary Sciences, Computer Science, or a closely related field.
  • Programming experience and publications in planetary science, machine learning, or related fields.
  • Experience with machine learning, including the development of neural networks and/or other AI tools.
What We Offer:
  • A competitive salary and benefits package.
  • A budget for professional development, including travel and publications costs.
  • Robust career mentoring by Prof. Ramirez and the Planetary Sciences Group.
  • The opportunity to teach, mentor students, and submit portable proposals as PI.
About the University of Central Florida:

The University of Central Florida is a leading, metropolitan, research-intensive university with over 68,000 students. The Department of Physics has 54 faculty members, and the Planetary Sciences Group contains about a dozen faculty, ten career soft-money researchers, five postdocs, and 25 graduate students.

We offer a B.S. specialized in astronomy and M.S. and Ph.D. degree tracks with standard planetary science curricula. Our department provides robust academic and research mentoring programs and has strong ties to the Florida Space Institute and the NASA Kennedy Space Center.
