PhD in Humanitarian Risk Pools, Climate Change, and Financial Modelling University College London in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds / Leeds University Business School on turning fragmented climate data into decision tools. The project sits at the intersection of climate science , data science , statistics , mathematical modelling , geography , and decision support, with a strong focus on uncertainty-aware risk assessment. The research asks a practical question: as climate change intensifies, who is most at risk, and how sure are we? The student will combine patchy and heterogeneous ...

PhD opportunity at University College London in the Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction on Compound Wind and Rainfall Extremes over Europe: understanding uncertainties from climate to financial risk . This project sits at the intersection of climate science , statistics , data science , machine learning , mathematical modelling , and applied statistics . It investigates how compound weather extremes such as winter windstorms coinciding with heavy rainfall create financial losses, and how u...

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 Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment on innovative data-driven approaches to predicting long-term European wind storm risk . This project sits at the interface of climate science, environmental science, statistics, mathematical modelling, data science, and decision science . It is linked to a new partnership between the University of Leeds and Lloyd’s Banking Group and focuses on real-world problems in estimating and predicting European wind storm risk ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment on climate extremes, infrastructure risk, and urban resilience . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and focuses on how heat and rainfall hazards, climate uncertainty, cascading risks, and urban system dynamics interact to shape risk in the built environment and critical infrastructure. The research will combine climate science , environmental science , civil engineering , urban geography , human geography , data...
