PhD Positions in Atmosphere/Ocean Physics, University of Toronto, Canada (2017)

This is to announce the availability, at the Department of Physics in the University of Toronto, Canada, of several graduate research opportunities in Atmosphere/Ocean Physics. Our Department is home to one of the world’s foremost groups in the study of physical processes in oceans and atmospheres. The group carries out fundamental research in areas of physics related to (1) geophysical fluid dynamics using theory and computation, (2) experimental design and implementation of global observational/remote sensing systems, and (3) state-of-the-art analysis of observed global-scale data. Although the group is focused on fundamental science, its research bears directly on a host of applications including international scientific assessments of global climate change and stratospheric ozone depletion, environmental impacts of atmospheric pollution including tropospheric ozone and biomass burning, and prediction of weather on Earth and other planets, ocean circulation, the Arctic and the cryosphere, and climate on all timescales.

We welcome you to apply to join us as a prospective graduate student with a B.Sc. in Physics or a cognate discipline, including Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering Science, Environmental Physics, and of course Atmospheric/Oceanic science. Whatever your background, we value your quantitative skills and only require in addition an eagerness to learn and curiosity about these fascinating areas of research and study.
