About this position
PhD opportunity at the University of Bristol under the SWBio DTP Hub Doctoral Training Partnership.
The project is titled “Will tomorrow's climate grow tomorrow's food? Modelling crop resilience across the U.K.” and focuses on agriculture, environmental biosciences, climate change, food security, environmental stress, and crop modelling.
The project will advance the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES), the land surface model used by the UK Met Office and the wider Earth system modelling community, to improve predictions of how crops respond to drought and heatwaves.
Supervision is by Martin De Kauwe and Pete Falloon, with collaborators Dr Andrew Hartley and Dr Katty Huang (Met Office) and Dr Duncan Harding (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).
This is a research-focused doctoral opening for students interested in agricultural biosciences, climate impacts on crops, and computational modelling of land-surface processes. The post is associated with the SWBio DTP and appears to be a funded PhD studentship, although the post does not specify the exact stipend or tuition coverage.
