Postdoctoral Researcher – Deep Learning for Groundwater Forecasting

Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC), Canada A postdoctoral position is available at UQAC for a research project conducted in partnership with the Québec Ministry of the Environment (MELCCFP).

The project focuses on developing deep learning methods for groundwater-level forecasting, with particular attention to model generalization, uncertainty quantification, and interpretability.

Required Qualifications

- Completed PhD in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related field.
- Strong, demonstrated expertise in deep learning,



including the independent development, training, evaluation, and debugging of neural network models.
- Excellent Python programming skills, with substantial hands-on experience in PyTorch or TensorFlow.
- Ability to conduct research independently, with solid analytical and problem-solving skills.

Experience in time-series forecasting, transfer learning, or uncertainty quantification is highly desirable. Hydrology or hydrogeology knowledge is an asset, not a requirement. Applications without demonstrated practical expertise in deep learning and Python will not be considered.

Position Details

- Location: Chicoutimi, Québec, Canada (on-site).
- Salary: CAD 60,000 gross per year.
- Duration: Up to 12 months, with an expected start in early 2027.
- The funded research project ends in February 2028.

How to apply Please send your application to [email protected] with the subject "Postdoctoral Application – Deep Learning".

Your Application Must Include

- A CV with a list of relevant publications.
- A brief description of a deep learning project you personally implemented, specifying your technical contributions.
- Links to relevant code or other evidence of practical deep learning experience, if available.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
