The following PhD projects are being advertised in the School of Geography:
We are seeking to appoint two PhD students to join our research team working on the transdisciplinary UKRI and Defra funded project Resilience of Anthropocene Coasts and Communities (RACC).
RACC seeks to assess the impact of coastal erosion and pollution release from historic coastal landfills on communities and habitats, and to co-develop policy and practical interventions with stakeholders. Further details of the project can be found here and here.
Within the project there will be opportunities to collaborate with our partner universities (University of Glasgow, Kings College London, University of Bradford and University of Sunderland) plus external stakeholders across multiple sectors and the wider COAST-R network.
The studentships, covering fees and a stipend, are for 42 months (3.5 years) and are funded through Queen Mary University of London. The stipend for 2024/25 is £21,237. Note that the studentships are open to UK applicants only. Successful applicants can start in September/October 2024 or January 2025.
