Dear Cryolisters,
We are looking to appoint a postgraduate researcher for a new PhD on "Glaciers as secondary sources of anthropogenic pollutants: an emerging socio-environmental challenge".
This is a three year funded post, which will involve research on the storage and release of pollutants in glacier catchments, in addition to consideration of potential downstream environmental and socio-economic impacts. The PhD will be hosted at the University of Plymouth, UK, and will be supervised by my myself, Dr Kim Ward, and Professor Will Blake.
Applicants should have a minimum of a 1st or 2.1 undergraduate degree in geography, Earth or environmental science and be enthusiastic about taking an interdisciplinary approach to research. It is desirable that applicants have a solid understanding of glacial environments, feel comfortable in learning new laboratory techniques, and are willing to undertake field research in remote locations should opportunities arise. Experience of using GIS and scientific programming (MATLAB, R, Python) would also be beneficial but not compulsory.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 31 May 2019, and more details on the project and how to apply can be found here: https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/student-life/your-studies/research-degrees/postgraduate-research-studentships/phd-opportunity-glaciers-as-secondary-sources-of-anthropogenic-pollutants-an-emerging-socio-environmental-challenge
For informal enquiries about the studentship, please contact me at caroline.clason@plymouth.ac.uk
In light of the current uncertainty around Brexit, please note that applicants from the UK and wider EU will not have to pay tuition fees, however applicants from the wider international community are normally required to pay top-up fees to cover the difference between the UK/EU and international rates.
Best wishes,
Caroline
