Research Associate in Environmental Sciences
Location: University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA
Application Deadline: Review of applications begins on 15 March 2026
The Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia invites applications for a postdoctoral research associate focusing on our improved understanding of cloud processes in global climate models.
The successful candidate will explore relationships between modeled tropical climatology, deep convection, and high clouds as part of a project funded through the Department of Energy. The overarching goal of this work will be to identify sources of inter-model spread in high clouds and their response to perturbations among global climate models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP).
Faculty Member in Radar Meteorology
Location: University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, USA
Application Deadline: Review of applications begins late February 2026
The Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences (HAS) at the University of Arizona (UA)–a top-25, public, R1, and land grant university–invites applications for an open-rank, tenure-track faculty position in Radar Meteorology (broadly defined) to begin August 2026.
Besides candidates for assistant professorship, exceptional candidates will also be considered at the Associate or Full professor level. HAS seeks areas of research and teaching that contribute to the advancement of process-level understanding of storm systems (e.g., mesoscale convective systems, monsoon convection, atmospheric rivers) and extreme weather, combining observations (particularly radar), modeling, and analysis. Areas of interest may include, but are not limited to: ground-based measurements using radars and other instruments, connection of these measurements to spaceborne measurements, kilometer-scale modeling of storm systems and extreme weather, and innovative use of AI/ML for observational data analysis and modeling.

Location: University of Innsbruck, Austria
Application Deadline: Review of application will start on 30th December 2025
The Atmospheric Turbulence group of the Department of Atmospheric and Cryospheric Sciences (ACINN) at the University of Innsbruck (Austria) invites applications for a PhD position on aircraft observations of mountain boundary layer and its turbulent structure.
The PhD student will work with data from in-situ instrumentation and a wind lidar on board three research aircraft that conducted flights over the European Alps during the TEAMx (http://www.teamx-programme.org/) observational campaign in 2025. The goal is to gain a better description of the mountain boundary layer (MoBL) and a better understanding of how the different thermally and dynamically driven wind systems and their interactions shape the MoBL structure.
The successful candidate will work as part of the TEAMx project and will be co-advised by Dr. Ivana Stiperski, Dr. Manuela Lehner and Dr. Alexander Gohm.
Assistant Professor / Associate Professor
Location: Imperial College London – The Grantham Institute for Climate Change, London, United Kingdom
Application Deadline: 12 April 2026
The mission of the Grantham Institute – Climate Change and the Environment, is to lead on world-class research, policy, training, and innovation that supports effective action on climate change.
The Grantham Institute is seeking to appoint two Assistant Professor/ Associate Professors who will support this mission, in a key collaboration with an Imperial academic department. The two positions available are for:
- Research within the broad fields of climate change, energy, clean technology and the environment. During the initial three years, the position will be based at the Grantham Institute before formally transferring to an appropriate academic Department at Imperial. All departments at Imperial College are eligible for this scheme.
- Research within the themes of the Centre for Environmental Policy (CEP). During the initial three years, the position will be based at the Grantham Institute before formally transferring to the CEP.
These posts represent a significant investment in climate change and environmental research, aligning with Imperial’ s Strategy: Science for Humanity.
Location: Imperial College London – The Grantham Institute for Climate Change, London, United Kingdom
Application Deadline: 8 May 2026
The mission of the Grantham Institute – Climate Change and the Environment, is to lead on world-class research, policy, training, and innovation that supports effective action on climate change.
The Grantham Institute is seeking to appoint a Research Fellow who will support this mission, undertaking research and teaching in climate science and/or climate impacts and adaptation.
The successful candidate will carry out, plan and lead an independent high-quality program of research in his/her area, with research contributing towards the Institute’s vision of a sustainable, resilient, zero-carbon future. The successful candidate will also lead on teaching of modules in his/her topic area on the Grantham Institute postgraduate taught courses and other educational programs.
Summer School on Runoff Predictions in Ungauged Basins
Dates: 22–26 June 2026
Location: Vienna, Austria
Application Deadline: 1 May 2026
This summer school is devoted to runoff prediction in ungauged basins (PUB), i.e., predicting water runoff at locations where no runoff data are available. This lack of data presents considerable challenges to catchment managers who require information on water flows for decision making. This course will provide hydrologists with the theory and methods to address this critical challenge.
Masters and Ph.D. students researching catchment hydrology and practicing hydrologists who are challenged by making predictions in the absence of runoff data are invited to apply.
