| Two PhD studentships in Transport Strategies for Low-carbon Cities Applications are invited for two PhD studentships with a focus on developing transport strategies for low-carbon cities. The overall aim of the research is to develop new multi-sectoral decision support tools for the planning, management and operation of existing cities, oriented at the emerging adaptation challenges faced by planners, infrastructure operators and managers, service providers
and individual citizens.

| PhD student ESS-CC for "Improving climate projections" Wageningen University is looking for an ambitious PhD-student Earth System Sciences to work in a collaborative project within the Knowledge for Climate funded programme "Improving climate projections". The aim of this programme is to provide high-quality information on regional climate in The Netherlands, now and in the future, for developing national and regional adaptation strategies. The PhD project is part of a sub-programme dealing with mechanisms of local impacts on weather, climate and climate change. Specifically, the question will be addressed as to how the land surface and small-scale atmospheric dynamical processes interact to shape our future climate. Wageningen University - ESS CC | |
| International Promovieren in Deutschland: a PhD programme of the DAAD ARUS is one of the structured PhD programmes established in 2010 with funding from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in the framework of the programme “International promovieren in Deutschland“(IPID). With these PhD programmes, the DAAD supports the implementation of recommendations of the “Wissenschaftsrat” and the „Hochschulrektorenkonferenz” concerning the reform of PhD programmes in Germany. The distribution of funds within these programmes concentrates solely on already existing excellent research structures. Universität Duisburg-Essen | |

| PhD position bij KNMI sector: Climate research and Seismology The candidate will help to improve the Climate model EC Earth and will perform and interpret the required sensitivity experiments. First the model will be validated against snow and sea ice observations. Later on sensitivity experiments will be performed to assess the relative contributions of the relevant mechanisms to Arctic amplification. KNMI via Academic Transfer | |
| AIO Milieu-economie en Natuurlijke Hulpbronnen (job application has been expired) De Wageningen UR Leerstoelgroep Milieu-economie en Natuurlijke Hulpbronnen behorend bij het departement Maatschappijwetenschappen verricht theoretisch en toegepast onderzoek naar oplossingen voor milieuproblemen en het duurzaam gebruik van energie en grondstoffen.

| PhD Knowledge for Climate - Climate proofing Urban Areas (job application has been expired) The objective of this PhD research is to define how natural landscapes help Dutch cities to adapt to the effects of the expected climate change. The research will be carried out within the framework of the Dutch Knowledge for Climate research program. Wageningen University | |
PhD position Economic Freshwater Resource Modeling f/m (job application has been expired) Climate change has important implications for the stock and flows of freshwater resources. A significant share of the Dutch economy depends on the availability of these freshwater resources. The main objective of the PhD study is to develop an integrated economic model to support policy and decision-making towards economically efficient water allocation across different water users and river basins. This project is part of the KfC research program “Tools to support adaptation to climate change”. VU University Amsterdam | |
| PhD position Economic Flood Damage Modeling f/m (job application has been expired) How do flood risks impact behavior of firms and households and regional economic development? The approach will be to combine the RAEM E3 CGE-model with modeling approaches based on evolutionary economic concepts such as multi agent modeling to arrive at an integrated model framework for pre-flood and post-flood behavior of economic agents. This project is part of the KfC research program “Tools to support adaptation to climate change”. VU University Amsterdam | |
