PhD Studentship: Submesoscale Ocean Flows and Processes in the Southern Ocean University of Exeter in United Kingdom

[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...

[Funded through the CENTA3 DLA by 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 focuses on understanding and modelling extreme precipitation events in Europe under a warming climate. The project addresses the challenge of estimating very rare, high-impact rainfall events whose frequency and intensity are difficult to assess in both the current climate and future warmi...

[For eligible students, the studentship covers home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend.] This PhD studentship focuses on a long-standing bias in climate models: the North Atlantic storm track is often simulated too far equatorward and too zonal. The project aims to test whether higher model resolution can reduce this bias by improving air-sea coupling and latent heating processes, with direct implications for confidence in future UK climate projections. The successful researcher will w...

Fully Funded DPhil in AI for the Environment at the University of Oxford through the Intelligent Earth programme. The doctoral opportunity focuses on using artificial intelligence to tackle environmental challenges. Students will develop research at the intersection of AI and environmental science, contributing to work connected with the Intelligent Earth initiative and its goal of understanding and addressing major environmental problems. The programme offers an interdisciplinary research envir...

The University of Exeter is advertising a PhD opportunity titled “Physics-Informed AI and Experimental Modelling of Ocean Mixing: From Fracture Zones to Ocean Ventilation.” The project brings together physics-informed artificial intelligence, experimental modelling, and physical oceanography to investigate ocean mixing processes. Research themes include fracture zones and their influence on ocean ventilation, with potential relevance to Earth-system and environmental science. Applicants should c...
