The University of Reading is seeking a postdoctoral research scientist to work in its Department of Meteorology on the AUSPICE project. The research focuses on diagnosing predictable atmospheric circulation signals in climate models and observations, assessing their implications for climate predictions and projections, and developing corrections for model errors. The post-holder will develop a robust statistical framework and use causal networks to investigate relationships within the climate sy...

This two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Lund University sits at the intersection of climate modelling, palaeoclimate reconstruction, and epidemic research. The project asks how abrupt climate cooling caused by major volcanic eruptions may have influenced historical epidemics, with special attention to the Plague of Justinian after the eruptions of AD 536 and 540. The successful candidate will join the atmospheric and climate modelling team in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences a...

About this position

Uppsala University is offering a fully funded PhD project in meteorology, climate statistics, and the dynamics of compound climate extremes.

The research will quantitatively analyse mid-latitude compound climate extremes in recent and future climates. The doctoral researcher will investigate how atmospheric dynamics and circulation features contribute to the occurrence of different surface compound extremes, including the physical drivers that link large-scale atmospheric behaviour with multiple interacting climate hazards.

The project will also examine the predictability of compound extreme events and their long-term trends. This involves working with large climate datasets, applying statistical methods, and using programming-based data analysis to connect atmospheric processes with observed and projected extremes. The work sits at the intersection of meteorology, atmospheric physics, climate science, and statistical analysis.

The position is based at Uppsala University in Sweden and offers a research environment focused on understanding climate variability, extreme events, and future climate risks. Teaching or supervising duties of up to 20% may be undertaken on a voluntary basis.

Funding details

Fully funded 48-month PhD position. No specific stipend or additional benefit details are provided.

What's required

Applicants must hold a Master's (second-cycle) degree in climate science, meteorology, statistics, physics, or a related field, or have completed at least 240 higher-education credits including at least 60 credits at Master's level and an independent project worth at least 15 credits in the relevant subjects, or possess substantially equivalent knowledge. Strong self-drive, independence, initiative, programming skills for data analysis, and excellent spoken and written English are required. Knowledge of atmospheric dynamics, a strong statistical background, experience analysing large climate datasets, and experience working on physical drivers of climate extremes are merits.
