PhD student

The Climatology Group at the Institute of Geography and the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of Bern, led by Prof. Stefan Brönnimann, is announcing a PhD position focusing on past weather and climate extremes in Switzerland. This position is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation as part of the NCCR CLIM+ programme (https://www.nccr-climplus.ch/): "Climate Extremes and Society: Strengthening Resilience". NCCR CLIM+ will address emerging research questions on societal transformation in the context of climate change mitigation and societal resilience, including the topic of heat and health. It will pioneer novel approaches in physics-based and data-driven climate modeling. As a member of the NCCR CLIM+, you will form part of an exciting, interdisciplinary community linking many Swiss institutions.
