About this position

PhD scholarship at The University of Newcastle, Australia in water world exoplanets and climate simulations. The project focuses on developing atmospheric models for sub-Neptune exoplanets, especially water worlds and ocean worlds, with interest in atmospheric circulation, cloud formation, heat transport, chemistry, and habitability.

This opportunity is aimed at a PhD candidate who can contribute to next-generation climate simulation tools for water-rich atmospheres and unfamiliar chemical regimes. The research also includes interpreting observations by comparing simulations with measured spectra, and assessing the climatic conditions that may support life.

Funding includes a living allowance of $38,938 per annum (2026 rate), indexed annually, for 3.5 years, plus tuition fee scholarship coverage and up to $1,500 relocation allowance. The scholarship is available to domestic students only.
