PhD Studentship - Predicting and Mitigating Megafires under Climate Change, CASE project with WTW University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in spatio-temporal statistical modelling for extreme rainfall events , climate prediction, and rare-event analysis. This project develops advanced generalised linear/additive mixed models with covariate-dependent, dynamically estimated thresholds to improve prediction of when and where extreme rainfall will occur. The research sits within the UNRISK CDT and connects with work relevant to climate resilience , meteorology , data science , and high-perform...

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 with Dr Ruza Ivanovic. This project, “Changing climates: Unlocking the past to improve predictions of the future,” sits at the intersection of climate science, data analysis, data science, mathematical modelling, statistics, and Earth science. The research aims to improve estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) by combining observational records from Earth’s past with advanced uncertainty quantification, m...

PhD opportunity with Imago (SDR UK Imagery Data Service) for a project on flood mapping , earth observation , satellite imagery , and real-time flood prediction . The project aims to develop a national-scale flood mapping system that integrates satellite-derived embeddings with hydrodynamic simulations to support prediction of flooding anywhere in the UK. The successful candidate will be based at Newcastle University and co-supervised by Maria Valasia Peppa from the Imago team. This is a PhD ope...

The University of Bristol is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate or Senior Research Associate to work on AI-driven downscaling of environmental variables for the health community in the School of Geographical Sciences, United Kingdom. The multidisciplinary project will apply diffusion models and generative machine learning to climate model output, enhancing spatial and temporal resolution. The research will investigate extreme weather events—including heatwaves, droughts, floods, and tropi...
