A 5-year PhD student opportunity is available at the University of Southern California, in the Climate Dynamics group (https://urldefense.com/v3/https://climdyn.usc.edu;!!KGKeukY!1WcQV9A6iR2YDV4QeVt3wged2C30e9eQAhAfNm630xS8vMvuPVnYd25HpzEscrN2U6yvljs205lyIQ7RtON_$ ), starting in July 2023. There is significant flexibility in defining the scope of the research, in the broad field of paleoclimate dynamics and data science. Applicants should have a solid background in physics/applied mathematics/atmospheric science, oceanography or related fields. Familiarity with open-source code development, particularly Python, is a plus.
USC is an equal opportunity, affirmative action employer (see here for details). To apply, please send a cover letter explaining your interest in the topic, relevant qualifications, a curriculum vitae and (if available) examples of past research to Dr Julien Emile-Geay (julieneg@usc.edu). Official applications will take place by Jan 1, 2023 (instructions here), but a prior conversation is strongly encouraged (see this blog post). GREs are not considered in — and therefore not required for — the application, but applicants should demonstrate familiarity with (and enthusiasm for) the lab’s research themes.
