PhD in Human-Inspired AI and ML Causal Inference for 2027 Entry at University of Cambridge University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

New PhD opportunity in the University of Birmingham group of Francis Pope , in collaboration with the Met Office and Christian Offen (University of Birmingham School of Mathematics). The project is titled AI-Enabled Prediction of UK Pollen Season Magnitude for Next-Generation Forecasting . It is a CASE studentship with the Met Office and includes additional funding plus the chance to work directly with Met Office scientists and spend time embedded with the organisation. This PhD sits at the inte...

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter in Mathematics and Statistics focused on marine heatwaves , climate science , statistics , data science , and mathematical modelling . The project investigates how extreme sea temperatures vary across space and depth in the northwest European Shelf seas, and how the probability and intensity of marine heatwaves may change under future climate scenarios. The research combines extreme value theory , generalised additive models , machine learning, and hig...

Nicola Paoletti, Senior Lecturer at King’s College London, is looking for prospective PhD students to join the Department of Informatics. The planned start is October 2027. The opening is centered on two broad research directions: Reliable and Robust Inference for AI Safety and Security , and Counterfactual Causal Reasoning for Sequential Decision-Making and AI Systems . The first project focuses on AI monitoring and decision-making with rigorous probabilistic guarantees under distribution shift...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in Uncertainty in AI-Augmented Climate Risk Analytics for Global Food Supply Chains . This project sits at the intersection of climate science , data science , environmental geography , human geography , information systems , mathematical modelling , and public policy . The research addresses how climate shocks such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves propagate through global food trade networks and how human decision-making under uncertainty can amplify...

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter on quantifying uncertainty and spatial dependence in tropical forest forecasts to support climate change mitigation , conservation planning, and carbon finance. The project sits within the UNRISK CDT and is supervised by Dr Ben Balmford , Prof Daniel Williamson , and Prof Ben Groom . It focuses on improving statistical and machine-learning methods for forecasting deforestation and regrowth using satellite data, with an emphasis on uncertainty quantific...
