About this position

PhD position in Homogenization of Lightning Climatologies at the University of Innsbruck in Austria.

The project focuses on using meteorological predictors and machine learning methods to reconstruct lightning climatologies and isolate true atmospheric variability from system-induced distortions. The research integrates ground-based and space-based observations and is carried out in close collaboration with the long-term operator of lightning detection networks in Austria and Germany.

This PhD is relevant for students interested in Earth Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Environmental Science, and related climate applications. The resulting datasets are intended to support climate research, infrastructure risk assessment, lightning protection standards, and renewable energy applications.

Funding: 36-month position with a gross salary of 2,800 EUR per month (14 months). The post highlights a stimulating research environment and industry collaboration.

Eligibility highlights: Master’s degree in Statistics, Atmospheric Science, Meteorology, Data Science/Machine Learning, or Environmental Sciences; strong programming skills in R and/or Python; creative and independent working style; strong communication skills; very good English.

Application: Applications are open until the position is filled. For more information, write to [email protected].
