Fully Funded PhD in Statistics and Climate for Energy Security Analysis at the University of Edinburgh The University of Edinburgh in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment with Dr Ruza Ivanovic. This project, “Changing climates: Unlocking the past to improve predictions of the future,” sits at the intersection of climate science, data analysis, data science, mathematical modelling, statistics, and Earth science. The research aims to improve estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) by combining observational records from Earth’s past with advanced uncertainty quantification, m...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in AI / machine learning for climate science , with a focus on mapping how future climate uncertainties and weather/climate impacts may affect Africa . The project sits in the School of Earth & Environment and is part of the UNRISK CDT . It combines climate science , meteorology , data science , data analysis , applied statistics , and mathematical modelling to develop machine-learning approaches that downscale global climate model information to local,...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment on aerosol radiative forcing uncertainty , climate science , and uncertainty quantification . The project asks how to achieve the maximum feasible reduction in uncertainty in aerosol forcing, using advanced model-observation comparison, perturbed parameter ensembles, and emulators that can generate millions of surrogate models. The research is closely linked to new marine aerosol observations and collaboration with S...

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter in Mathematics and Statistics , focused on tracking uncertainties from future storms to hazards and decisions . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and investigates how uncertainty in climate-model projections of extratropical cyclones translates into uncertainty in the wind and precipitation hazards that matter for society. The research combines climate science , meteorology , applied statistics , data science , mathematical modelling , uncertaint...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Mathematics (part of EPS) on uncertainty in recent global warming trends and related risks of extreme events using a global km-scale model . The project investigates the recent increase in Earth’s energy imbalance, record global mean temperatures, and the rising frequency and intensity of regional extreme events. It asks whether high-resolution climate simulations can improve understanding of climate variability and change, and whether ...
