The Ocean and Climate Dynamics Lab at the Division of Earth and Ocean Sciences (EOS), Nicholas School of the Environment, Duke University has a funded PhD position to start in Fall 2021. The Ocean and Climate Dynamics Lab aims to understand the ocean’s role in a changing climate by combining observations, theory, and modeling. The prospective student will be supervised by Dr. Shineng Hu (https://sites.google.com/site/shinenghu/) and will have the flexibility to develop PhD projects in a broad range of topics, including but not limited to the El Niño-Southern Oscillation, ocean inter-basin interaction, hydrological cycle, and paleoclimate. Applicants should have a BS or MS degree in atmospheric science, oceanography, earth science, physics, or a related field, and are interested in climate dynamics.
The application should be submitted through Duke's Graduate School (https://gradschool.duke.edu/admissions), and the deadline is January 8th. More details can be found on the EOS website (https://nicholas.duke.edu/academics/doctoral-programs/earth-ocean-sciences-eos) or obtained by contacting Dr. Shineng Hu (shineng.hu@duke.edu).
