NERC-funded PhD studentships: Department of Aeronautics, Department of Chemical Engineering, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Department of Materials, Department of Mechanical Engineering
The Science and Solutions for a Changing Planet (SSCP) Doctoral Training Partnership integrates six host partners and several business and policy sector partners, to offer an exciting programme that trains and inspires the next generation of environmental experts and leaders to address some of the toughest challenges of our time. The SSCP DTP is funded by the Natural Environmental Research Council (NERC) and is based at the Grantham Institute - Climate Change and the Environment, Imperial College London.
Projects for an October 2024 start are listed below. Some projects listed are led by a core partner and co-supervised by an Imperial supervisor - these are listed both under the department as well as the core partner and are marked with an asterisk*. For a full list of these and other projects, further details on the studentships, information on eligibility and instructions on how to apply, go to: www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/education/science-and-solutions-for-a-changing-planet-dtp/studentship-opportunities/
For project-related queries, contact individual supervisors. For general enquiries about the SSCP DTP, contact Christiane Morgan, Doctoral Training Coordinator.
Closing date for applications Monday 8 January 2024, midday (12pm GMT).
