This 36-month PhD project at the University of St Andrews investigates how atmospheric circulation responds to global warming and how those responses affect regional climate and weather extremes. The research will use a hierarchy of numerical climate simulations to study circulation across multiple scales, from global jet streams to regional thunderstorm systems. By analyzing multi-member ensembles and prescribed sea-surface-temperature experiments, the project will distinguish rapid adjustments...

This two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Lund University sits at the intersection of climate modelling, palaeoclimate reconstruction, and epidemic research. The project asks how abrupt climate cooling caused by major volcanic eruptions may have influenced historical epidemics, with special attention to the Plague of Justinian after the eruptions of AD 536 and 540. The successful candidate will join the atmospheric and climate modelling team in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences a...

Questions
Should I email professors before submitting my PhD application?
Yes. A well-targeted email can significantly improve your chances in many research-based programs.
What should I include in my first email to a professor?
A brief introduction, research interests aligned with the professor’s work, CV, and (if available) publication links.
How long should I wait before following up with a professor?
Typically 7–14 days. One polite follow-up is considered acceptable.
Is it better to send the same email to many professors?
No. Personalized emails that clearly match the professor’s research receive far better response rates.
Do I need a full research proposal when contacting professors?
Usually not initially — a short research summary is sufficient unless the professor specifically requests a full proposal.
