<p class="MsoNormal">Dear ES jobs,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have a fully funded PhD position that we would like you to advertise for us.
<br>
Please see below:<br>
<b>PhD Scholarship Opportunity<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Optimising Marine Cloud Brightening Scenarios for Regional Cooling: A Next-Generation Coupled Modelling Study of Aerosol-Cloud-Radiation Interactions<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The Project<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are seeking an exceptional PhD candidate to join an international research team at the forefront of marine cloud brightening (MCB) research, with a focus on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This project will optimise and evaluate a next-generation, high-resolution coupled atmosphere–ocean model ACCESS-EMS-GBR to assess the potential efficacy and risks of MCB as a regional climate intervention strategy. The model enables simulation
of MCB scenarios at spatial and temporal scales not achievable with global models, allowing for detailed assessments of sea spray aerosol injection strategies.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These simulations will explore the direct and indirect effects of MCB on cloud properties, precipitation, and radiative forcing, with the goal of identifying optimal deployment parameters (e.g. timing, location, emission rates) to maximise
cooling benefits while minimising environmental and operational risks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Candidate Profile<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We welcome applications from highly motivated candidates with a strong interest in atmospheric science, climate modelling, or environmental systems.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Essential qualifications and skills:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Location<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This PhD position is based at Southern Cross University (SCU), Australia, with supervision from leading researchers at SCU and at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency. The successful candidate will also collaborate with international
partners, contributing to a globally significant research effort.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You will be based at the National Marine Science Centre (NMSC) in Coffs Harbour, on the east coast of Australia. Coffs Harbour offers an exceptional natural environment, with pristine beaches, world-class surf, and lush forests of the Great
