PhD opportunities in the Department of Geography, Durham University

We would like to advertise PhD and Research Masters opportunities in Physical Geography at Durham University, UK, one of the leading international centres of geographical research. There are a range of funding opportunities available including NERC (UK and EU students), Durham Doctoral Studentships and also separately funded projects.

A range of potential PhD topics can be found on our website at: http://www.dur.ac.uk/geography/postgraduate/programmes_and_research_topics/research_topics/physical/

Alternatively applicants can devise their own project in consultation with potential supervisors in any of the following research areas:

Ice Sheets and Sea Level

Catchments and Rivers

Climate Impacts

Hazards and Surface Dynamics

The deadline for application is Monday 18th February. Details of the on-line application process can be found here: http://www.dur.ac.uk/geography/postgraduate/how_to_apply/

Further details can be found on our postgraduate webpages: http://www.dur.ac.uk/geography/postgraduate/

If you have any specific questions please e-mail Dr Jerry Lloyd (j.m.lloyd@durham.ac.uk<mailto:j.m.lloyd@durham.ac.uk>)

We also have an additional fully-funded NERC studentship on "Modelling the age-depth and temperature profiles of the BAS deep Antarctic ice cores" that will be hosted at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), joint-supervised by Dr Rob Mulvaney (BAS), Dr Pippa Whitehouse (Durham),  and Dr Richard Hindmarsh (BAS). The student will spend the majority of their time at BAS, but will make regular visits to Durham for supervisory meetings. The project will involve lab-based research and computer modelling. There is no fieldwork involved. If you have any questions on this project, please contact Dr Pippa Whitehouse (pippa.whitehouse@durham.ac.uk<mailto:pippa.whitehouse@durham.ac.uk>).
