<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family: Aptos; font-size: 14.666667px; color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">I am delighted to announce a fully funded PhD position within the Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (RegNR8) at the University of Dundee,
Scotland: New-Eden-Tay — Nature-Based Innovations for Adaptation, Resilience, and Restoration.</span><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: Aptos; font-size: 14.666667px; color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">This project offers an exciting opportunity to apply physics, climate ensembles, and land and hydrodynamic modelling to one of today’s most pressing challenges — understanding
how climate and hydrological processes interact and to explore various adaptation and resilience measures in East Scotland . The successful candidate will apply climate simulations, and run and analyse regional hydrological models to evaluate how nature-based
solutions — such as wetland restoration, river woodland regeneration, and blue–green infrastructure — can reduce flood and drought risks while supporting ecosystem recovery.</span><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family: Aptos; font-size: 14.666667px; color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">We are looking for a motivated and curious candidate with a strong background in one of the following areas: physics, mathematics, statistics, computer and data science,
hydrology, physical geography, or earth and environmental sciences; and with a passion for using science to drive meaningful climate action.</span><span style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
