PhD Opportunities in Causal Inference in Turkey

This PhD project is part of TWIG, a five-year ERC Starting Grant focused on tropical forest biomass flows that are usually missed by conventional inventories. The work combines repeated terrestrial laser scanning with long-term forest monitoring to directly quantify damage, recovery, and biomass redistribution in mature tropical forests. The doctoral researcher will study the environmental and biological drivers of tree-level biomass changes and the ecological consequences of small-scale disturb...

The Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology in Jena offers a PhD position within the Carl Zeiss Stiftung Independent Research Group on High-End Climate Risks (CZS-HECR) . The group studies worst-case climate outcomes, from unprecedented and compounding extremes to their societal impacts, combining climate physics, Earth system analyses, targeted climate model experiments, advanced statistics, and machine-learning-based approaches to produce usable climate risk estimates for sectors such as healt...
