Enrico Scalas -- The Mathematics of Planet Earth Centre for Doctoral Training (MPE CDT) has a small number of fully funded PhD positions available for study starting in September 2018. Applications are sought from outstanding candidates who have (or expect to receive) a first class degree in mathematics, statistics, physics or closely related subject. The MPE CDT brings together the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London and the School of Mathematical, Physical and Computational Sciences at the University of Reading, as well as external partners such as the UK Met Office, NPL and ECMWF, and representatives of key commercial sectors, including energy, water, marine, and insurance. Students in the MPE CDT receive cohort-based PhD training in the mathematical and computational techniques needed to understand, predict and quantify risk and uncertainty for extreme weather and climate change. In particular, our PhD students receive training that ranges from the data-driven domain represented by statistics, to the model-driven domain represented by analysis and mechanics. For further details of the MPE programme and how to apply, please see http://mpecdt.org/admissions/ All appointments will be made on merit, however we particularly welcome applications from currently under-represented groups, including women and those from an ethnic minority.
