The successful candidates will be joining the State of Wildfires Project – an international network of fire scientists tackling the big questions about why wildfires happen and how they impact people and nature.
Predicting and mitigating megafires under climate change
Help us understand if extreme wildfires are becoming more frequent, why the risks are rising, and how those risks might evolve in the future. Includes a CASE partnership with Daniel Bannister from WTW Research Network. Find out more here.
Forest Carbon Project Exposure to Wildfire: Global Patterns and Evolving Risk under Climate Change, CASE project with BeZero Carbon Limited
Study the scale of the wildfire threat to carbon offset projects, and helping to quantify current and future risks and to inform policies on how carbon projects are designed and implemented. Includes a CASE partnership with Niels Andela at BeZero Carbon. Find out more here.
Smoke Signals: Predicting the health burden of wildfires across the UK and Europe
Help us unravel the impacts of wildfire smoke on public health by studying how rates of hospitalisation and death respond to extreme levels of degraded air quality. Find out more here.
Closing date: 7 January 2026
