PhD in Urban Climate Modelling and Microclimate Solutions for Urban Heat Resilience Wageningen University & Research in Netherlands

Wageningen University & Research is recruiting a PhD student for the project “Modeling the Cool City: Microclimate Solutions for Urban Heat Resilience” within the EUROASIS Horizon Europe project.

This PhD focuses on urban climate modelling, microclimate, urban heat resilience, heat mitigation, and heat-health. The successful candidate will evaluate heat-mitigation innovations across Amsterdam, Athens, Zaragoza, and Reggio Emilia, combining microclimate simulations with epidemiological data to quantify real-world health benefits. The work is hosted by the Meteorology and Air Quality (MAQ) group at Wageningen University & Research.

The post is co-supervised by Dragan Milosevic and Gert-Jan Steeneveld. It is aimed at candidates interested in connecting climate science with public health and urban sustainability. The announcement does not list detailed eligibility criteria, but the topic suggests a strong quantitative background in climate/environmental modelling or a related field.

This is a PhD opening, not a scholarship call. The post does not mention a stipend amount, tuition waiver, or other funding specifics, but it is presented as a research position within an EU-funded project. The application deadline is 10 August 2026.
