PhD Studentship – From Microdrops to Forecasts: Multiscale Modelling of Clouds University of Warwick in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment on reducing uncertainty in the effect of shipping on climate change . This project sits at the intersection of climate science, environmental science, Earth science, physics, data science, machine learning, and mathematical modelling . The research focuses on aerosol particles from shipping, their effects on clouds, and how these processes influence Earth’s energy balance and climate uncertainty. The student will use...

[Fully funded studentship covering fees, a maintenance stipend of £21,805 p.a. for 2026/27, and a research training and support grant (RTSG). A limited number of studentships are available for international applicants with the home/international fee difference waived; relocation, visa, and health surcharge costs are not covered.] PhD Studentship: Arctic Wintertime Storms in a Changing Climate at the University of East Anglia is a research opportunity focused on polar mesoscale cyclones and polar...

PhD opportunity at University College London in the Department of Geography with Prof Chris Brierley, focused on climate science , machine learning , data science , mathematical modelling , and Earth science . This project asks whether AI-based regional downscaling models can capture hydroclimate changes in the geologic past. You will work with paleoclimate proxy records, uncertainty quantification, climate-model evaluation, and high-resolution simulations from PMIP and NCAR, including experimen...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment on Greenland ice-sheet stability, climate science, data analysis, data science, mathematical modelling, and palaeoclimate evidence . The project asks whether Greenland may reach a tipping point and how ice-age evidence can improve predictions of its future. It uses the coupled climate–ice sheet model FAMOUS-ice to study past, present, and future Greenland stability, including irreversible retreat, uncertainty in sea-...

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter in Mathematics and Statistics on designing ensembles for efficient climate model emulation and uncertainty quantification . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and focuses on climate science, applied statistics, data science, machine learning, mathematical modelling, and uncertainty quantification. The research aims to build statistical emulators for climate models, using methods such as Gaussian processes and sequential experimental design to redu...
