Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
Applications are invited for a PhD in naturally or artificially excited plasmas within our solar system. The successful candidate will join the Space Plasma Environment and Radio Science (SPEARS) Research Group. The SPEARS group is internationally recognised and is at the forefront of the interdisciplinary field of space research, so a PhD with the SPEARS team promotes critical and creative thinking and is an opportunity to make a significant contribution to cutting-edge science in a field that is both exciting and economically relevant.
