PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Climate Science in Netherlands

Wageningen University & Research is seeking a PhD candidate to investigate how forest carbon uptake is changing worldwide under climate change and disturbance. The project examines the global carbon sink in forests and its role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The researcher will combine atmospheric carbon dioxide observations, Earth Observation products, and numerical models to quantify forest carbon balances across continents and time scales ranging from days to decades. The wor...

Radboud University in the Netherlands is offering a PhD position in movement ecology within the Department of Ecology and the Radboud Institute for Biological and Environmental Sciences. The project investigates how climate-driven changes in freshwater availability affect the year-round movements of greater white-fronted geese. The research will combine long-term GPS tracking data from more than 200 geese, remotely sensed environmental datasets and statistical modelling. Key topics include snow ...

PhD Position: Movement Ecology at Radboud University in the Netherlands. This PhD project studies how climate change and freshwater availability shape the year-round movements of migratory waterbirds, using the greater white-fronted goose ( Anser albifrons ) as a model species. The project connects a unique long-term individual tracking dataset with remote sensing products to examine how geese respond to snow cover, freshwater availability, breeding success, and changing temperatures across bree...

TU Delft is advertising a Postdoc in Ocean–Sea Ice Interactions within the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences. The project focuses on the physics of coupled ocean/sea ice processes, including sea ice melting and breakage, turbulent interactions at sub-grid scales, and the development of parameterizations for use in global climate models. The research combines ocean Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and a Discrete Element Model (DEM) of sea ice, with validation against in-situ and remote sens...

Postdoctoral position at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands on ocean–sea ice interactions , with a focus on cryospheric science , climate science , oceanography , atmospheric science , and physics . The project aims to improve understanding of fine-scale ocean/sea-ice processes, including melting and breakage of sea ice, using an ocean Large Eddy Simulation (LES) framework and a Discrete Element Model (DEM) of sea ice. Simulations will be validated against in-situ and r...
