Advancing the Frontiers of Earth System Prediction Doctoral Training Programme: 2026 Call for PhD applicants. The AFESP Doctoral Training Programme 2026 competition for studentships is now closed. Please check back here in the Autumn for further opportunities.
Advancing the Frontiers of Earth System Prediction (AFESP) is a 15-year, £30million research programme at the University of Reading, in partnership with the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the UK Met Office and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science.
AFESP is establishing a long-term Doctoral Training Programme to develop skills in the fundamental new research across the physical, mathematical and computational sciences that will be required to address next-generation challenges in Earth system prediction and operational weather and climate forecasting. PhD students will be trained and embedded within the overall AFESP programme.
We are inviting applications to join a growing cohort of PhD students, with up to ten new studentships to commence in Autumn 2026.
