PhD Programmes in Natural Sciences Atmospheric Sciences
After you earn a bachelor's or master's degree, you can pursue a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). A PhD is an advanced degree that generally requires a minimum of three years' study and is completed after a successful thesis or dissertation defense before a panel at your chosen school.
More specifically, what is a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences? Like many sciences, atmospheric science can be broken into theoretical and applied branches. If you want to focus on theory, some areas include atmospheric dynamics, climate dynamics, atmospheric convection and planetary boundary. Among the applied sciences are air pollution meteorology, mesoscale meteorology and radar meteorology. With a master's degree, you may complete this degree in as little as two years.
Some skills you can acquire while studying atmospheric sciences include attention to detail, computer troubleshooting and reading comprehension. Noticing details and understanding computer hardware and software can help you when technology doesn't work correctly. Reading comprehension is useful when understanding fine print or contractual agreements.
Since a PhD takes many years to complete, it is wise to budget your costs in advance. These costs vary between schools and include tuition, books, food and transportation. Some costs can be covered with a fellowship, scholarship or stipend.
When you look for a job with a PhD, you can opt for academia, research, industry or business. If you want to continue research in atmospheric science, you could seek employment at a lab or university. Research jobs include climatologist and research director. Applied jobs are often easier to find, such as meteorologist and climate laboratory director. An advanced degree is also useful to raise your position where you currently work.
