Dear All,
Please see details below for IAPETUS2 PhD studentships in Durham Geography.
Thank you

Durham Geography is a world leading centre for research in Catchments and Rivers, Hazards and Surface Change and Sea Level, Ice and Climate. The department is part of the NERC funded IAPETUS2 partnership and we are currently advertising 27 PhD projects to start in October 2022. If you are interested in doing a PhD and want to work in a vibrant, supportive, centre of excellence why not come and join us? The deadline for applications is Friday 7th January 2022 at 5:00pm (GMT), but we would encourage you to contact the supervisors of projects you are interested in as soon as possible. Projects are fully funded, and both UK and international students can apply through the NERC Iapetus2 Doctoral Training Partnership. Below are the IAPETUS2 PhDs offered by staff in Durham Geography. For the full list of IAPETUS2 projects please visit Studentships – Iapetus Doctoral Training Partnership (iapetus2.ac.uk).
