Job Description
Overview
The Data Sciences & Machine Intelligence group in the Advanced Computing, Mathematics, and Data Division at PNNL seeks a dynamic Post-Doctoral Data Scientist to join the group to lead and support scientific research in the general areas of data science, artificial intelligence, graph neural networks, data analytics, machine learning and natural language processing with a focus on scientific computing and data analytics applications. This is an excellent opportunity to hone and develop a scientific career in an outstanding research institution by joining an interdisciplinary research team that focuses on accelerating scientific discovery. The primary emphasis of this position will be growing existing and crafting new capabilities in broad areas of data and graph analytics such as: (i) graph machine learning combined with deep reinforcement learning; (ii) uncertainty quantification and propagation in GNNs; and (iii) applications of graph machine learning in domains such as computational chemistry, life sciences and social network analysis.
Responsibilities
Design, develop, and implement methods, processes, and systems to analyze diverse data from scientific computing application domains of national interest.
Apply knowledge of graph neural networks, reinforcement learning, uncertainty quantification, natural language processing, data analytics, and machine learning to integrate and clean data, recognize patterns, pose questions, and/or make discoveries from structured and/or unstructured data, primarily in scientific computing, but generalizable to other domains.
Develop and maintain high quality software for machine learning projects
Lead and contribute to the publication and presentation of results in high impact scientific computing journals and conferences, and sponsoring agencies.
Mentor and train graduate and undergraduate interns.
