📣 PhD opportunities in Atmospheric Science – Fall 2027
I’m looking for prospective PhD students interested in joining my new research group at the University of Toronto in Fall 2027! I’ll be joining the Department of Physics as an Assistant Professor in January 2027.
Our group will study aerosol–pollution–climate interactions from the surface to the stratosphere, with a particular focus on how perturbations from wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and convective storms influence atmospheric composition, air quality, and climate.
Research opportunities include:
- 🔬 Instrument development, laboratory experiments, and field measurements
- ✈️ Analysis of aircraft, balloon, and satellite observations
- 🌎 Connecting observations with aerosol, radiative transfer, and climate models
Students with strong academic preparation and relevant research experience in physics, atmospheric science, environmental science, chemistry, or related fields are encouraged to get in touch at ywei.li@utoronto.ca!
📅 Application deadline: December 11, 2026
