mountain PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 20 mountain PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
CR2025_36: Quantifying Contributions of Mountain Cryosphere Components to Groundwater Recharge Using Isotopic Analysis
The mountain cryosphere and groundwater reservoirs supply water to vast populations around the world (Scanlon et al., 2023). These resources are particularly important in arid regions, bordered by glaciated mountains, where precipitation is minimal during the warm growing season. Read more
The genetic diversity and adaptive potential of mountain birch in Scotland for high-altitude nature recovery.
Globally, around two in five plant and fungi species are threatened with extinction as a result of increasing pressure from habitat fragmentation, emerging pests and pathogens, and climate change. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Mountain lakes as sentinels of change: linking nitrogen deposition rates to greenhouse gas emissions
This is an exciting project, linking science to real-world policy, and with lots of fieldwork in upland and mountain environments. Read more
Phylogenomic history, systematic status and conservation assessment of the endemic Irish hare
START DATE 01 OCTOBER 2025 The proposed PhD will focus on the Irish hare (Lepus timidus hibernicus), one of Ireland’s most significant endemic species, with the aim of clarifying its taxonomic status, understand its population structure, and assess its current conservation status. Read more

Monitoring and managing the impacts of extreme sediment-rich flows in fluvial systems
Applications are invited for a 3.5 years PhD studentship. The studentship will start on 01 October 2025. Project Description. Background. Read more
CR2025_57: Simulating monsoon systems at the kilometre scale
Monsoon systems supply the majority of water to over two-thirds of the world’s population. However, large biases in the position and intensity… Read more
CR2025_13: Understanding km and sub-km scale model forecasts of orographically enhanced stratiform precipitation in the UK.
It has long been known that the precipitation locally on and around hills and mountains can be much heavier than in surrounding areas of flatter terrain. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Assessing the impact of the expansion of a Rwandan National Park on avian biodiversity and management
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
GW4+ DOCTORAL LANDSCAPE TRAINING PARTNERSHIP (DLTP): Phylogeography of Caribbean Herpetofauna
