Individuals in this position will perform technical work supporting the collaboration's scientific research. Research Title: Indoor Air Quality Modeling - Artificial Intelligence to Support CONTAM Model Development The work will entail: Identifying and developing AI-based methods to generate and exercise CONTAM building models. U.S. Citizen Preferred Key responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: Gain familiarity with the use of existing CONTAM IAQ modeling software Gain a strong understanding of the newly developed CONTAM APIsApply CONTAM APIs to generate, modify, and perform simulations on CONTAM Project files Develop AI-based methods to generate CONTAM building models
Qualifications:
Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field- Familiarity with multiple programming languages, e.g., C, C#, Python, or Java- Familiarity with Git DevOps and CI/CD pipelines- Familiarity with developing and applying agent-based AI- Strong oral and written communication skills
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
