Dear all,
The University of St Andrews have released a late-season PhD scholarship scheme for four successful applicants wishing to start their PhD for the next academic year (2026/7), specifically for UK BAME applicants (Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic).
We are advertising for a prospective student to undertake glaciological research specifically focusing on Institute Ice Stream—one of the large outlet glaciers feeding the Ronne Ice Shelf in Western Antarctica. This project combines ice-penetrating radar analysis and ice sheet modelling to constrain the ice flow history of the Weddell Sea sector and evaluate implications for future sea-level rise.
The project advertised for the scholarship “How does ice flow enhancement and rearrangement impact the West Antarctic Ice Sheet?" is attached to the email.
Interested applicants can find further information about the scholarship in the below link:

Of course—all enquiries welcome by replying to this email, to myself at tjy1@st-andrews.ac.uk.
Best wishes,
