PhD-1: Investigating the distribution and diet of snow petrels to understand Antarctic sea-ice ecosystems and palaeoclimate
Funded by a European Research Council Consolidator Grant “ANTSIE”.
PhD-2: Antarctic sea ice evolution and ecosystem responses since the Last Glacial Maximum
Funded by the Leverhulme Trust (UK).
Both studentships are open to UK / EU candidates who hold a First or 2:1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent). The studentship covers tuition fees, a tax-free maintenance grant, and travel and analytical costs.
