PhD opportunities within Swansea Glaciology...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- There are opportunities for postgraduate funding at Swansea University to start in January 2015 or October 2015.
You can find details about Swansea Glaciology Group here: http://www.swansea.ac.uk/glaciology/
The studentships to start by January are here: http://www.swansea.ac.uk/science/swanseauniversitycollegeofsciencephdscholarships/
The deadline is rather short - you must have a project and supervisors sorted by Monday 15th October if you are interested in starting in January so we'd encourage you to get in touch with your potential supervisor/s as soon as possible (see below for some broad areas of interest).
Please look at web pages for further details, our broad areas of interest are:
Tavi Murray - glacier surging and fast flow, measurement and modelling of Greenland outlet glaciers and fjords, glacier calving, ice streams, glacier geophysics, process modelling
Adrian Luckman - Remote sensing of glaciers and ice sheets, glacier dynamic change, quantifying glacier calving rates, Antarctic ice shelf stability, Svalbard glacier retreat rates, ice shelf and ice sheet melt monitoring
Bernd Kulessa - Glacier geophysics, groundwater and heat flow beneath ice sheets, East Antarctic ice-sheet dynamics, Antarctic ice-shelf stability, snow hydrology
John Hiemstra - palaeoglaciology (subglacial processes, glacial dynamics), ice sheet reconstructions, micromorphology of glacigenic materials
Ian Rutt - modelling of ice sheets and glaciers, calving processes and glacier hydrology
Swansea University, College of Science Postgraduate Scholarships Call 2014/15/16
There are scholarships available for Ph.D. students to start both in 2014/15 and 2015/16.
The following guidelines should therefore be read with care.
A - Ph.D. scholarships to commence in 2014/15
Details on the web here:
There are 5 scholarships available for the College to allocate. The conditions are
- the studentships should be awarded to new research students
- the successful student should be enrolled and have started by the end of January 2015
B - Ph.D. scholarships to commence in 2015/16
There are approximately 20 scholarships to be awarded across the University as a whole, to be decided by a competitive submission with each College permitted a maximum of six bids. The exercise resembles those of the previous 3 years, but both the timing of the call and the application pro-forma (attached below) differ this year. As ever, the University selection panel would like to receive innovative and creative proposals aligned with University strategic research priorities. Further information guidelines are attached below.
