About this position
Stockholm University’s Department of Meteorology (MISU) is advertising a PhD student position in Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography with a focus on machine learning methods in climate modelling.
The project addresses how to improve climate model accuracy, efficiency, and generalizability by using ML models trained on observational data and high-resolution simulations. Research topics include cloud formation, turbulence, aerosol-cloud interaction, sub-grid scale parameterizations, coupling data-driven models to a large-scale climate model, and evaluating ML-enhanced simulations against observations and traditional parameterizations.
The successful candidate will work in a highly international environment at Stockholm University, in collaboration with the Swedish e-Science Research Centre and within a broader climate research ecosystem that includes the Bolin Centre for Climate Research and the Baltic Sea Centre.
Eligibility highlights: a second-cycle degree or equivalent; at least 240 higher education credits with 60 at second-cycle level; at least 90 credits in meteorology, oceanography, physics or chemistry; at least 15 credits in mathematics; a degree project of at least 15 credits; and English proficiency equivalent to English B. Selection also considers subject knowledge, analytical ability, creativity, initiative, independence, teamwork, and communication skills.
Funding/employment: fixed-term doctoral employment for up to four years full-time, with a fixed salary. The role may include up to 20% teaching, research, or administration.
Application: apply through Stockholm University’s recruitment system and submit a personal letter, CV, and all requested attachments before the deadline.
Deadline: 3 November 2026.
