Hello UK Polar Network,
GW4+ is offering Summer Undergraduate Research Experience Placements (REPs) designed to encourage undergraduate students to consider applying for PhD projects in the Earth, Environmental and Life Sciences with the GW4+ Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) (https://www.nercgw4plus.ac.uk/undrgrad-placements). The placements will run for 6 to 8 weeks over the summer vacation period with funding of up to £3,200 is available per placement which includes £500 for project costs.
We are offering a placement on “Microbial diversity and ecology in Antarctic freshwater environments” at the Natural History Museum, supervised by Dr. Anne Jungblut. This project is a ‘widening participation’ placement available to undergraduate students in any science, mathematics, computing or related discipline who must be from a group typically underrepresented in science.
