Dear Colleagues,

 

We have a number of studentships available in Physical Geography at Newcastle University through our cross-institutional NERC IAPETUS Doctoral Training Partnership, which has funds to award up to 12-15 studentships per year across 7 partner institutions. The deadline for applications is the 20^th JANUARY 2017 for PhD students starting in September 2017. The available projects under this scheme are:
