PhD Studentship in Dynamic Turbulence Modelling for Convective Storms University of Exeter in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Environmental Sciences on winds and waves in the Alpine mountains , with a focus on meteorology , climate science , orographic gravity waves , numerical weather prediction , and atmospheric circulation. The project investigates how mountains affect winds and upper-atmosphere circulation through orographic gravity waves and gravity-wave drag, and how these processes influence weather forecasts and clear-air turbulence. The successf...

The University of Oxford’s Department of Physics, Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics (AOPP), is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work on aerosols, clouds and their interactions, with a focus on kilometre-scale modelling. The role is aligned with the EU Horizon Europe RealESM project, Next-Generation Earth System Modelling for Realistic Projections of Rapid Climate Evolution in the Coming Decades . The research will advance the representation of aerosol-cloud interactions in next-gene...

[Funded through the CENTA3 DLA and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC); funding covers an annual stipend, tuition fees at home-fee level, and a Research Training Support Grant.] This PhD studentship investigates how rising atmospheric CO2 may alter forest emissions of volatile organic compounds and, in turn, the ability of those emissions to form secondary organic aerosol. The project is framed around a key climate question: whether a mature forest that emits different mixtures of pl...

[Funding covers fees plus a stipend per annum for 2026/7; stipend amount stated as £21,805.] University of Exeter offers a PhD studentship in Physics-Aware Graph Neural Networks for Robust Short-Term Visibility Forecasting at the Penryn Campus in the United Kingdom. This project addresses the challenge of forecasting low-visibility events for safe and efficient transport, especially aviation. The research will develop physics-aware spatio-temporal graph neural networks (STGNNs) for 0–6 hour visi...

[Fully funded studentship covering fees, maintenance stipend of £21,805 p.a. for 2026/27, and a research training and support grant (RTSG). Limited number of studentships available for international applicants with the difference between home and international fees waived by the registering university; does not cover visa or health surcharge costs.] This PhD studentship at the University of East Anglia explores how dust transported from Africa across the Atlantic Ocean affects climate, ocean tem...
