Job summary

The University of East Anglia invites applications for an ARIES DTP studentship focused on dust, climate, and Atlantic Ocean dynamics. You will analyse global observation datasets and climate model outputs to understand dust transport and its climatic impacts, and design experiments on the UEA HPC system to unravel underlying mechanisms.

Applicants should hold a degree in a quantitative science and show interest in data analysis, numerical modelling, and coding.

Qualifications

• Degree in a quantitative science (e.g., maths, physics, engineering,Earth system science).
• Interest in data analysis and numerical modelling is essential; some coding experience is desirable.
• Strong mathematical and computational skills are expected for climate data analysis.

Responsibilities

• Analyse global observation datasets and climate model outputs to understand dust transport and its climatic impacts.
• Design, run and analyse climate model experiments on the UEA HPC system.
• Evaluate model treatments against observations to unravel dust–climate interactions.
