NERC Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs)
PhD Research Studentship Opportunities at the NERC British Antarctic Survey 2015
We are pleased to offer an exciting variety of PhD Research Studentship opportunities for uptake in 2015. These studentships are in association with one of our four NERC Doctoral Training Partnerships: Cambridge Earth System Science, GW4+, EnvEast, and SPITFIRE. In addition, we also have a small number of CASE opportunities.
The topics on offer cover a wide range of earth, life and atmospheric sciences. At BAS we strongly encourage the pursuit of interdisciplinary projects, and there is the opportunity to work with teams at the forefront of global change and exploration science in both polar regions.
There are currently over 60 PhD students associated with BAS and nearly half of these work full time at BAS Cambridge. Students have full access to our state of the art research facilities and some have the opportunity to carry out research in the polar regions.
BAS is situated on what is now the West Cambridge campus of the University of Cambridge, approximately 1½ miles from the city centre by cycle link or bus. Although we are an entirely independent NERC Research Centre, we share a number of key facilities with the university, including libraries and sports centre.
If you are interested in any of these projects then you are strongly encouraged in the first instance to contact the nominated BAS supervisor for further details.
