If you’re interested in applying tools from mathematics, computational science and theoretical physics to climate dynamics, there might be a way to get you funded whether you’re looking for an internship, a doctoral scholarship or a postdoctoral fellowship.

Please send your CV together with your objectives and motivation for joining our group.

We have a postdoctoral position (up to 3 years, ERC IceAblation) at ENS de Lyon, France, on Machine learning emulators of polar ocean dynamics.

Can neural networks emulate chaotic, multi-scale ocean flows with tipping points beneath Antarctic ice shelves, generalize across regimes, and stay stable when coupled online to a numerical solver? We have ready-to-use NEMO simulation data and offer freedom to explore physics-constrained learning, foundation models, and online training.

No oceanography background needed. Review of applications starts November 2nd, 2026. Details below.

A post-doctoral position on extreme climate events is available. The goal of the project is to develop new tools for rare event prediction, and to apply them to extreme climate events such as heat waves as well as examples of tipping points studied in the group, such as Antarctic ice-shelves.

Review of applications starts October 19, the position is open until filled.

We currently have an open PhD position to work on bifurcations of the ocean circulation on the Antarctic continental shelf and ice-shelf melting, supervised by Irena Vankova and Corentin Herbert. The position may be preceded by an M2 internship.

The project will involve carrying out numerical simulations with the ocean GCM NEMO in an idealized framework, and focuses on understanding feedback processes relevant for potential bifurcations of real ice-shelves.
