Descrição
Find below a link to 15 fully funded PhD Fellowships that are currently being advertised as part of the new Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, Innovative Training Network (ITN) called CriticalEarth. Please feel free to share to any qualified candidates worldwide in the fields of climate dynamics, climate theory, applied mathematics, statistical mechanics or similar. The positions are based at different European universities, coordinated via the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Click here for all positions: https://www.criticalearth.eu/climate/.
CriticalEarth will officially begin on March 1st. Some of the PhD adverts are open for applications and the remaining positions will be posted online within the next month. You can see status of each PhD via the link, including the title, location and brief overview of objectives.
The 3-year PhD Fellowships will start between March and the end of September 2021 and successful applicants will form a network of 15 PhD Fellows (or “early stage researchers”, as referred to by the EU), trained to research new methods for assessing the mechanisms and associated risks of critical transitions in the climate. The focus will be on investigating how complex mathematics can be used to predict and avoid irreversible climate change. The positions will offer candidates an excellent background, working within a strong, cross-disciplinary network among leading universities and research institutions across Europe and with contacts to industry, governmental- and non-governmental institutions.
Eligibility:
- Applicants should hold an MSc degree in a relevant field with great results and good English skills.
- Because the aim of EU ITN projects is to attract candidates from worldwide locations, applicants must not have resided and not have carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the recruiting beneficiary for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before the recruitment date - unless as part of a procedure for obtaining refugee status under the Geneva Convention. If candidates are applying from a location that requires a visa or permit, then the university/institute responsible for the PhD will provide support and advice throughout the process of relocation.
- The applicant must be an Early Stage Researcher (ESR) i.e. at the time of recruitment they must be in the first 4 years (full-time equivalent research experience) of their research careers and must not have been awarded a doctoral degree. This is measured from the date when a researcher obtained the degree which would formally entitle them to embark on a doctorate.
- We want our staff to reflect the diversity of society and we welcome applications from all qualified candidates worldwide regardless of personal background. The selection will be exclusively based on qualification without regard to disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion etc.
