Fujitsu Research of America (FRA) was founded in Silicon Valley to extend the global reach of Fujitsu R&amp;D. By conducting advanced research across several key technologies such as AI and quantum computing, FRA supports Fujitsu’s purpose to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.   FRA is seeking a self-motivated researcher to advance cutting-edge AI/ML solutions for climate resilience, with a focus on water-related hazards such as floods, landslides, and extreme precipitation. This role bridges scientific research and real-world impact across sectors like insurance, supply chain, and energy.   At FRA’s Digital Climate team, we envision a world where remote and underserved communities can flourish, regardless of extreme weather challenges. To realize this, our work is built around three pillars: <ul> <li>Data: Develop cutting-edge AI/ML models optimized for data-scarce regions, with a focus on leveraging geospatial and remote sensing technologies</li> <li>Methods: Develop scalable AI/ML approaches, such as science foundation models, for multi-hazard prediction and risk reduction.</li> <li>Stakeholders: Deliver actionable, impact-driven tools for humanitarian efforts, insurers, and supply chain managers.</li> </ul> You will lead projects that fuse AI, Earth observations, and geospatial modeling, working across research, prototype development, and stakeholder engagement.   Required Qualifications: <ul> <li>Ph.D. (or equivalent) in machine learning, hydrology, remote sensing, geosciences, or related fields</li> <li>Strong publication record in climate-related AI or hazard modeling</li> <li>Proficiency in ML frameworks, geospatial tools, and cloud platforms</li> <li>Experience with precipitation datasets or hydrologic forecasting</li> </ul>   Preferred Experience: <ul> <li>Foundation models or physics-informed ML for Earth systems</li> <li>Interdisciplinary collaboration and stakeholder engagement</li> <li>Familiarity with operational hazard systems</li> <li>Understanding of climate risk modeling in insurance, logistics, or energy</li> </ul>   Fujitsu is the largest IT company in Japan and among the largest in the world. Fujitsu’s mission is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.
