Hello everyone! I would like to advertise a PhD position I got funding for, at the University of Exeter:

**Probabilistic approaches to tipping points in natural systems with application  
to cloud transitions**

The project will be a blend of using DynamicalSystems.jl and Turing.jl (and/or other probabilistic inference framework) to study **tipping points** in dynamical systems with applications to climate, and in particular transitions between different cloud states.

You can find the project description here: [https://www.exeter.ac.uk/v8media/recruitmentsites/documents/Probabilistic\_approaches\_to\_tipping\_points\_in\_natural\_systems\_with\_application\_to\_cloud\_transitions\_EPSRC\_DLA\_Project\_September\_2025\_Entry.pdf](https://www.exeter.ac.uk/v8media/recruitmentsites/documents/Probabilistic_approaches_to_tipping_points_in_natural_systems_with_application_to_cloud_transitions_EPSRC_DLA_Project_September_2025_Entry.pdf)
