In the case of\u00a0deterministic dynamics, the phase space is partitioned between the basins of attraction of such asymptotic states, which live on \u2013 possibly strange \u2013 attractors. In the case noise is added into the\u00a0systems, transitions between the various basins of attractions are possible, and, typically, over very long time scales the neighbourhood of all asymptotic states is explored, up to convergence to the\u00a0invariant measure of the system. In the weak noise limit, transitions occur through special regions of the basin boundaries, called edge or Melancholia states. We will explore the theory of noise-induced transitions in complex systems of geophysical interest and use response theory to flag the vicinity of the tipping points. Taking advantage of recent advances in the theory of stochastic\u00a0resonance for non-equilibrium systems, we will investigate the possibility of resonant behaviour in the response for suitable tuning of periodic forcing and intensity of the acting noise.<\/p>\n<p>This position is part of the CriticalEarth project \u2013 a Horizon 2020 Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie Actions, Innovative Training Network (ITN) &amp; the successful candidate will form a network of 15 PhD\u00a0students across different universities in Europe.
