The Monash Weather and Climate research group resides in the School of Earth, Atmosphere, and Environment, and tackles problems related to some of mankind’s greatest challenges. These challenges include predicfing the weather and climate from days to centuries, and understanding the implicafions of climate change for Australia and the world at large. Our research has recently received a four star rafing from the Australian Research Council, making us one of the leading university-‐based research group in Atmospheric Science in Australia.
The Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science is a major inifiafive funded by the Australian Research Council.
The Centre is an internafional research consorfium of five Australian universifies and a group of outstanding nafional and internafional Partner Organizafions. The Centre’s research aims are to improve our ability to model regional climates and to inform the ways in which we might adapt to climate change, parficularly in the Australian region.
We will offer several PhD scholarships on a compefifive basis. The scholarships may cover fees and living expenses for 3 years. Generous travel support for PhD students to visit our internafional partners exist. Some projects may involve other universifies, the CSIRO, the Bureau of Meteorology, or one of our internafional partners.
You are an outstanding, highly mofivated student of atmospheric science, oceanography, physics, mathematics or engineering with an Australian honours degree (4 years) or an MSc or the equivalent. You have strong interests in atmospheric or climate science, you have very strong computafional skills, and you would like to work in an leading internafional research team.
