PhD position in Statistics and Data sciences

Dear all, The newly established Environmetrics research group at the TU Dortmund (Germany) offers a PhD position (3 years, TV-L E13 75%, upgrade to 100% possible subject to availability of funds) within the Research Center Trustworthy Data Science and Security and the Department of Statistics. The position is to be filled as early as possible. The candidate will develop new statistical methods to infer spatio-temporal climate variability patterns from sparse observations, and integrate observational constraints on climate variability into future Earth system projections using statistical postprocessing methods. If you have a strong background in probability theory or statistics, are highly motivated to apply these skills to open questions in climate sciences, and strive to work on societally important questions about future environmental change, I'm looking forward to your application. Applications documents (motivation letter, CV, copies of your certificates, a short summary of your Master thesis, and contact details of two referees) can be send as one pdf file to environmetrics@rc-trust.ai. The application deadline is March 12, 2026. You can find full details here: https://service.tu-dortmund.de/documents/18/2120797/w05-26_PhD_Stelle_RAR_englisch_SJA_NEU.pdf. Feel free to forward to interested candidates. For further questions, please contact me under environmetrics@rc-trust.ai.
