  • Climate modelling and climate data processing (e.g. NetCDF data format)
  • Space weather (analysis, modelling, predictions)
  • Estimation of information-theoretic functionals, esp. in causality analysis
  • Extreme events
  • Brain data processing and modelling

• Have strong data analysis, statistical, mathematical modelling and/or machine learning skills with practical programming experience
• Be fluent in English

The initial contract will be for one year with possible extension during the project duration.

The positions are available from January 1, 2020 or upon agreement.

The applications should be sent to ics@cs.cas.cz and should contain:
