I am recruiting a PhD student to join the 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). More details on this scheme, including eligibility and instructions on how to apply, can be found at this link.
The deadline for applications is 14 December 2025. And the intended start date for the position is September 2026.
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 will use observations, satellite data, and numerical models to investigate the ocean's role in Antarctic sea ice variability. However, there is considerable flexibility within the broad topic of sea ice-ocean interactions, so please get in touch (channing.prend@ed.ac.uk) if you’d like to discuss!
