More details

Designing ensembles for efficient climate model emulation and uncertainty quantification

Background. As climate change outpaces current mitigation frameworks, the strategic design of adaptation policies becomes increasingly crucial. Read more
 Supervisors: Prof P Challenor, Dr H Mohammadi
 13 January 2027  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
More details

Are forests becoming more vulnerable to climate extremes?

Background. Forests absorb ~30% of the carbon dioxide (CO2) humans emit each year, making them one of the most important natural brakes on climate change. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr M O'Sullivan, Dr T Economou, Dr T R Rosan
 13 January 2027  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Tracking uncertainties from future storms to hazards and decisions

Background. Extratropical storms are a major driver of weather and climate variability across the mid-latitudes, bringing strong winds and heavy precipitation that can cause widespread disruption and economic losses. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr J Catto, Dr H Mohammadi
 13 January 2027  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Quantifying the extent and intensity of marine heatwaves in a changing climate

Background. Marine heatwaves are prolonged periods of unusually warm ocean temperatures that can disrupt marine ecosystems, fisheries and coastal communities. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr B Youngman, Dr T Economou

Quantifying the likelihood of persistent extreme weather events in a changing climate

Background. Persistent extreme weather events such as heatwaves, cold snaps, or particularly rainy and/or stormy seasons have huge socio-economic impact; estimating the probabilities of their occurrence which can inform assessments of health or flood risks is therefore an important task. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr F Kwasniok, Dr J Catto

Interpretable probabilistic AI for quantifying climate impacts on health

Background. Climate change is affecting human health, but evidencing how and by how much, is a challenge. The effects are often indirect, driven by interacting factors like temperature and air quality, while health data are frequently patchy or incomplete. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr T Economou, Dr J Salter

Monitoring complex ecosystems - critical transitions in time series for soil health and earthquake emergence

PhD Opportunity. Critical transitions in timeseries from soil & earthquakes. From the collapse of the Amazon rainforest to financial markets, from earthquakes to degraded farmland - complex systems in the natural and human world can shift suddenly and irreversibly. Read more
 Supervisors: Prof TN-M Nissen-Meyer, Dr G Datseris
 14 October 2026  PhD Research Project  Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Quantifying uncertainty and spatial dependence in tropical forest forecasts to guide climate change mitigation

Background. Slowing tropical forest loss and enhancing regrowth are central to climate mitigation, but resources for protecting and restoring forests are limited. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr B B Balmford, Prof D Williamson, Prof B G Groom
 13 January 2027  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Understanding uncertainty in risk modelling of European windstorms: the East Atlantic pattern and history matching

Background. Extra-tropical cyclones are fascinating storms that have devastating impacts on society. For example, in winter 2013/14, more than 10 extreme storms passed over Europe, leading to total insured losses of more than $3.3 billion. Read more
 Supervisors: Prof D S Stephenson, Dr M Priestley

How does temperature shape selection for resistance across different antibiotics, strains, and species

The GW4 BioMed3 Doctoral Landscape Programme is offering up to 18 MRC funded studentships across a range of biomedical disciplines, with a start date of October 2027. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr D Padfield
 21 October 2026  PhD Research Project  Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
