Interdisciplinary PhD Studentships Based in the Biological and Geo-Sciences (QUADRAT DTP)
Applications are invited for UKRI funded PhD studentships starting 1st October 2023.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday 14th June 2023.
The QUADRAT DTP brings together two research and teaching centres of excellence in biological sciences and geosciences. The University of Aberdeen is a world class multidisciplinary research and training institution and Queen’s University Belfast is a Russell Group University with an international reputation for world class research.
We are excited to announce that in addition to the 20 traditional QUADRAT studentships we recruited to earlier this year; we are now launching a further 7 exciting interdisciplinary studentships. These projects are directly funded and broaden the scope of QUADRAT through cross-disciplinary collaboration, combining a mixture of expertise to tackle critical environmental challenges.
Funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), with support from several partner organisations, QUADRAT DTP will provide outstanding students with unrivalled opportunities to gain the skills and holistic understanding essential for the next generation of scientific leaders in academic, industry and policy development due to our unique geographic positions, unprecedented research and training infrastructure and strategic alliances of the two academic partners.
