PhD in Complex System Modelling of Systemic Climate Impacts Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in Netherlands

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is advertising a PhD position in Complex System Modelling of Systemic Climate Impacts at the IVM Institute for Environmental Studies.

The project focuses on developing new modelling tools to understand how climate hazards, socio-economic systems, vulnerability, adaptation, and human decision-making interact to shape the impacts of extreme weather events and compound events. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in environmental science, earth science, geography, mathematics, and computational approaches to climate-risk research.

The post is announced by Maurizio Mazzoleni, Assistant Professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, with links to his LinkedIn profile and the official VU vacancy page. The role is research-oriented and appears to be a standard PhD opening rather than a scholarship programme.

Applicants should review the vacancy page for the full description, eligibility details, and application instructions. The deadline stated in the post is 22 May 2026.
