Université catholique de Louvain is seeking four talented PhD candidates to join us in the effort to better constrain the probabilities of occurrence of past and future extreme events and to arrive at robust attribution statements that do not understate nor overstate the future risks society will face.
The different positions are centered around different types of climate events (floods over Europe, heatwaves and compound drought-heat events over Europe, and sea ice extent reduction in the Antarctic), each leading to distinct methodological challenges.
