Dear Cryolist,
Please find details below of several exciting cryospheric PhD projects currently being advertised by the School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol.
Applications are open to students with (or expecting) a 1st/2.1 BSc, or with a 2.2 BSc and an MSc, or possibly just with substantial relevant post-graduate experience.
Funding is available competitively as part of the GW4+ NERC Doctoral Training Partnership.

The deadline for applications is noon on Thursday 15th January 2015.
Please feel free contact the supervisors for further information.
