Ph. D. position on statistics and dynamics of compound climate extremes

Uppsala University
Uppsala, Sweden Full Time
Academic Posting
Yes - Academic Posting

You will work on compiling statistical properities of compound extremes and on connecting their dynamics and occurrence to different atmospheric circulation features. Teaching/supervising duties up to 20% are possible on a voluntary basis. You will be based at the Dept. of Earth Sciences in Uppsala, but will be expected to travel both nationally and internationally.

You will be based in a lively research group based at the Dept. of Earth Sciences in Uppsala, which focuses on the dynamics of extreme climate events in the mid and high latitudes and their impacts. We currently host several nationally funded and Horizon Europe projects. More information on our ongoing research can be found at https://gmessori.eu/. You will contribute to an ERC project focussing on quantitative analyses of mid-latitude compound climate extremes in recent and future climates: DYCLEX.

The preferred start date is October 2026, but there is flexibility for earlier or later dates, and the typical duration of a Ph. D. in Sweden is 48 months.

Deadline for applications: 17th June
