Your world of expertise
Our Industrial Placement scheme offers ambitious and capable undergraduates the opportunity to gain valuable experience working alongside diverse and highly skilled experts in their field. You'll be working on projects that really matter and will make a difference.
We are offering an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated undergraduate student to spend a year working on the development of machine learning approaches for land surface modeling. The successful candidate will join the team working with the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) - a leading community land surface model used in weather, climate, hydrology, and environmental science.
The project will focus on exploring ways in which machine learning can be applied to speed up aspects of JULES while maintaining its physical realism. By combining the strengths of traditional physics-based models with innovative data-driven techniques, the aim of this Industrial Placement is to develop more efficient and accurate representations of the land within the Earth system. This placement provides hands-on experience at the intersection of environmental science, machine learning, and high-performance computing, and is ideal for students interested in applying computational methods to tackle global challenges.
You will join a team of parameterization developers in Atmospheric Processes and Parametrizations (APP), working in a collaborative and supportive environment. The placement will provide on-the-job training to broaden your expertise, alongside mentoring from experts in land surface modeling and machine learning. This is a valuable opportunity to apply and develop your technical skills on real-world scientific challenges, while gaining professional experience and building networks for your future career.
Your key duties
- Assist in developing and testing machine learning techniques to improve the computational performance of JULES.
- Support the identification of model components where ML can provide acceleration.
- Work with scientists and software developers to integrate ML approaches into existing workflows.
- Contribute to project documentation, reporting, and (where appropriate) publications or presentations.
