Dear colleagues,

Thomas Opitz (INRAE Avignon France) and I are looking for a motivated PhD candidate student from October 2025 to September 2028.

The thesis will focus on spatial statistics, stochastic geometry and extreme value theory (see attachment for the thesis topic) with important applications to climate science.

Do you know any students who might be interested on this topic? Ideal applicants have a strong background in mathematics, statistics,  with interest spatiotemporal modeling of extremes.

Yours sincerely

Elena Di Bernardino and Thomas Opitz
