Climate Science

The University of East Anglia (UEA) is offering a fully funded PhD position in Arctic Climate Research, specifically focused on atmospheric chemistry, ozone depletion events, and bromine explosions in polar regions. The project is supervised by Professor Jan Kaiser in the School of Environmental Sciences and utilizes the UEA Roland von Glasow Air-Sea-Ice Chamber for laboratory simulations, with opportunities for field campaigns in polar environments. The research combines experimental work, numerical modelling, and field observations to advance understanding of polar atmospheric chemistry and its impact on climate change. Candidates will join an international research network, including collaborations with the British Antarctic Survey and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and will receive interdisciplinary training in atmospheric science, climate research, and environmental monitoring. The studentship covers tuition, a generous stipend, and research support, and is open to candidates with a strong background in relevant scientific disciplines and proficiency in English. Applications are accepted online through the UEA portal until 7 January 2026.
