    •   Job announce­ment: PhD Posi­tion – Light­ning Cli­ma­tolo­gies & Machine Learn­ing (Univer­sity of Inns­bruck)

      We invite applications for a fully funded PhD position in a collaborative research project between the Digital Science Center (DiSC) and the Department of Atmospheric and Cryospheric Sciences (ACINN). The project focuses on developing new methods to reconstruct long-term lightning climatologies from evolving measurement networks using meteorological data and machine learning. The project develops new methods to reconstruct reliable long-term lightning climatologies from evolving lightning detection networks. Using meteorological data and a newly developed machine-learning algorithm, the PhD researcher will identify and correct measurement artifacts caused by technological upgrades in Lightning Location Systems. We are looking for candidates with a Master’s degree in meteorology, statistics, data science, environmental science, lightning physics, or related fields, and strong programming skills in R or Python (with willingness to work in R)
