Education & Training Opportunities
Assistant Professor in Climate Data Science
Location: Boston University, Boston, MA, USA
Application Deadline: 6 November 2026
The Department of Earth & Environment at Boston University is searching for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Climate Data Science.
Candidates are particularly welcome whose research focuses on the physical basis of climate, climate variability, and climate change, and who employ data science methodologies to deepen our understanding of how the climate system is changing and how these changes affect the global environment. You’d be joining a collaborative, interdisciplinary department in the heart of Boston, with strong connections across BU’s Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences and the Institute for Global Sustainability.
Assistant Professor Clouds and Cloud Processes
Location: Cornell University, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS), Ithaca, NY, USA
Application Deadline: 25 March 2027
The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (EAS) in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) at Cornell University welcomes applications for a full-time tenure-track position in “Clouds and Cloud Processes” at the assistant or associate professor level. The ideal candidate will make significant contributions to the understanding of clouds, cloud-scale processes, convection, and/or their influence on the global climate system. We seek a scholar who demonstrates a clear ability to work in and/or across the subdisciplines of atmospheric physics or chemistry, using observational, laboratory, modeling, and/or theoretical approaches.
The successful candidate could specialize in a wide range of disciplines, including but not limited to: Cloud Dynamics and Physics, or Cloud Chemistry and Microphysics, or Clouds in the Earth System. Topical foci could include, but are not limited to, aerosol-cloud interaction, marine cloud brightening, boundary layer clouds, cloud-radiative feedback, mesoscale to convective-scale clouds and their processes, or cloud interactions with Earth system variability across scales.
Postdoc in Convection, Rainstorms, and Climate
Location: Department of Geophysics at Stanford University, CA, USA
Application Deadline: 15 September 2026 until filled
The Department of Geophysics at Stanford University invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar to join the Convection & Climate Group. The research seeks to uncover the physical principles governing the organization of moist convection and atmospheric circulations across scales, including convective aggregation, tropical cyclones, the Madden–Julian Oscillation, and atmospheric rivers. A combination of theory, observations, a hierarchy of numerical models, and machine-learning methods is used to understand their formation, dynamics, and predictability. The successful candidate will have substantial freedom to develop an independent research direction connected to one or more of the following themes:
- Convective organizations across scales
- The buoyancy effect of water vapor
- Atmospheric rivers
Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Location: Columbia University, New York, NY, USA
Application Deadline: Open until filled
The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University of Palisades, New York, invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist (PDRS) to focus on the mechanisms of variability in the tracks and intensity of Low-Pressure System (LPSs) within the South Asia Monsoon. The successful candidate will work with Columbia Climate School and LDEO researchers, in collaboration with scientists in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at The City College of New York.
Responsibilities include:
- Analyze data from observations and a hierarchy of model simulations to test mechanisms of variability in LPS characteristics.
- Using ad-hoc experiments to explore the consequences of ENSO-like climate change on the future distribution of LPSs and extreme rainfall.
- Understand the implications of LPS variability for the strength of the ENSO-monsoon teleconnection in a changing climate.
International Winter School for Young Scientists: Cryosphere in Seamless Prediction and Climate System Modeling
Location: Frankfurt, Germany
Dates: 1–5 March 2027
Application Deadline: 15 December 2027
The school will offer a comprehensive overview of the cryosphere’s complex role in seamless prediction and climate system modeling. The cryosphere influences weather and climate patterns, ocean circulation, and the hydrological cycle. It plays a key role in climate feedback mechanisms and serves as a reservoir of water and energy on seasonal to decadal timescales. Incorporating cryospheric data and processes into climate models is crucial for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of both climate predictions and projections.
This school is open to PhD students and early career scientists (postdocs) in geosciences such as climate science, meteorology, physical oceanography, hydrology, and associated fields with a strong interest in the cryosphere within modeling.
