Understanding Uncertainty to Reduce Climate Risks
NERC Centre for Doctoral Training
Applications for October 2025 have now closed. For your interest, this is the list of research projects that were advertised. The next recruitment round with a new set of projects will start around October 2025 for PhDs starting in October 2026.
Because UNRISK encourages project co-development, the supervisory teams of many projects are not yet finalised. All students will be co-supervised by at least two supervisors.
