About this position

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia on Dust, the Atlantic Ocean, and Climate with Prof Manoj Joshi in the School of Environmental Sciences.

This project sits at the intersection of climate science, environmental physics, meteorology, marine sciences, physical geography, applied mathematics, mathematical modelling, and data analysis. The research investigates how Saharan dust transported across the Atlantic affects ocean temperatures, atmospheric circulation, rainfall, and broader ocean-atmosphere variability.

The project has two main parts: first, analysis of global observational datasets and state-of-the-art climate model outputs to study dust movement and its climatic effects; second, design and execution of experiments using simpler climate models on UEA’s high-performance computing system to understand the underlying mechanisms.

Training includes statistical analysis, computer coding, interpretation of observational datasets, and analysis of climate model output. You will also develop skills in designing and running your own climate model experiments, with additional training through the ARIES DTP.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a degree in a quantitative science, at least a UK equivalent 2:1 bachelor’s degree, strong interest in data analysis and numerical modelling of weather/climate systems, and some coding experience is desirable. English language requirement is IELTS 6.5 overall with 6.0 in each category.

This is a competition funded PhD project open to students worldwide. The page does not specify a stipend amount or exact funding package.

Location: Norwich, United Kingdom. Start date: 1 October 2027.
