PhD opportunity at University College London (UCL) in compound wind and rainfall extremes , climate uncertainty , statistical modelling , and financial risk . The project, titled Compound Wind and Rainfall Extremes over Europe — From Climate Uncertainty to Financial Risk , is offered through the UNRISK Centre for Doctoral Training at UCL, in collaboration with Aidan Brocklehurst (Aon Impact Forecasting) and Paul Northrop (UCL). The research will examine how uncertainty in climate projections, compound wind and rainfall extremes, and rare-event statistics propagate into financial loss estimates. Relevant study areas: statistics, environmental science, mathematics, physics, computer science, meteorology, climate science, catastrophe modelling, extreme-value statistics, and financial risk modelling. Eligibility highlights: applicants should have a strong quantitative background; strong Python skills are highly desirable. Prior experience with compound extremes, CAT models, extreme-value statistics, or financial risk modelling is helpful but not required. Application / next steps: the post does not give a formal deadline. Prospective applicants are told that meeting calls will be scheduled in late November to early December 2026 . Interested candidates should review the project page and follow the next steps communicated by the organisers. Link: project details are available via the posted link.
