About this position

Stockholm University is advertising a PhD student position in Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography focused on clouds in the atmospheric boundary layer. The project studies boundary layer cloud processes using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and a novel Lagrangian microphysics approach implemented in the turbulence solver Neko.

The successful candidate will contribute to code development and simulate cloudy marine boundary layers observed over the Baltic Sea. The work is embedded in the Department of Meteorology (MISU) and connected to a broader research environment including the Bolin Centre for Climate Research, the Baltic Sea Centre, and the Swedish e-Science Research Centre.

Eligibility highlights: a second-cycle degree or equivalent; at least 90 higher education credits in meteorology, oceanography, physics or chemistry; at least 15 credits in mathematics; an independent degree project of at least 15 credits; and English proficiency equivalent to English 6/English Level 2. Selection emphasizes subject knowledge, analytical ability, creativity, independence, collaboration, and communication skills.

Funding and employment: the position is a fixed-term doctoral employment, full time, for up to four years. The project is funded by the Swedish e-Science Research Centre.
