In 2016 you kindly helped me with advertising a PhD position at the University of Iceland. The successful candidate saw the ad on your blog. In 2019, he graduated with his PhD and received the Laplace Prize from ASA SBSS for one of his papers.

I was wondering if you could assist me by putting an ad for another PhD position at the University of Iceland on your blog? The project is entitled: Improved 21st century projections of sub-daily extreme precipitation by spatio-temporal recalibration. This project involves collaboration with the United Kingdom Meteorological Office and a few universities.

The link to the formal ad is here and a project description is here.

That’s so cool that the previous position was filled with the help of our blog, and that his work won a research award! I hope the new project also goes well.

Also, puffins!
