Job description

New York University: NYU - NY: Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science, NYU Courant Math and NYU Center for Data Science Location

New York, NY

Open Date

Aug 19, 2026

Description

We are seeking a full-time Assistant Research Scientist to join a frontier research collaboration developing next-generation AI methods for scientific applications, particularly physics and climate, at the NYU Courant Institute School of Mathematics, Computing, and Data Science.

The successful candidate will contribute to building and evaluating physics-constrained AI foundation models for climate predictions, including generalization to unseen climate forcings, and extreme events. The candidate will be primarily advised by Prof. Laure Zanna and co-advised by Prof. Carlos Fernandez-Granda, as part of the M 2 LInES collaboration . They will also have the opportunity to collaborate with leading scientists in the field, which in addition to M 2 LInES scientists, include Jesse Rusak and Alex Merose from Open Athena , Ai2 Climate Modeling , and Prof. Richard Turner (Cambridge), on creating a new generation of AI foundation and world models for Climate.

This will build on a suite of major developments led by the team in developing AI emulators for the ocean, sea-ice, and atmosphere, and the full climate science system, with 1000x speedups over the original models. The expansion of these works includes exploring multiple resolutions, multimodality, and the grand challenges of learning physics on multi-century timescales for climate projections.

The position, available immediately, is a full-time appointment, initially for one year, with the possibility of renewal for two additional years, subject to satisfactory performance and available funding.

Some examples of recent work (more at M 2 LInES ):

In compliance with NYU's Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $58,656 - $110,000. NYU considers factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the candidate's work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer quality, as well as market and organization considerations. Candidates with particularly relevant or specialized knowledge may be considered for compensation above the higher end of the range.

2+ years of research experience

Expertise or strong demonstrated skill in deep learning and computational science

Experience or interest in developing methods for scientific applications (not necessarily climate-related)

Proficiency in Python

Experience with HPC (GPUs preferred) is a plus

Experience with agentic programming is a plus

Related Skills and Other Requirements:

Ability to work at the interface of AI and science/engineering problems

Ability to contribute to multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
