University of Edinburgh

I’m recruiting a PhD student to join my new Ocean Dynamics lab at the University of Edinburgh. The position is funded through the NERC Edinburgh Earth, Ecology and Environment Engagement Doctoral Training Partnership (E5 DTP). As an E5 student, you will join the multidisciplinary Cryosphere Group within Edinburgh’s School of GeoSciences (https://edinburghcryosphere.org/), which is composed of over 30 staff and students carrying out diverse research across a range of cryosphere-related areas and regions of study.

The planned project (https://e4-dtp.ed.ac.uk/e5-dtp/supervisor-led-projects/project?item=1678) will use climate model output and observations to investigate variability in ocean heat transport toward the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. However, there is considerable flexibility within the broad topic of ice sheet-ocean interactions, so please get in touch (cprend@uw.edu) if you’d like to discuss!
