[AO announcement] PhD studentships in UEA's Centre for Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences

Thu Nov 27 13:53:38 PST 2014

The Centre for Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) at UEA is pleased to announce some exciting PhD research training opportunities. Please circulate this announcement to any interested students expecting a good BSc or Masters.

Funding may be available through the EnvEast NERC-funded Doctoral Training Programme led by UEA (under this scheme UK citizens are eligible for fees and maintenance grant, EU citizen for fees only). Applicants may also apply for funding scholarships (e.g. from their own government).  We welcome all enquiries.

Please click on the titles below for more details, or go to our website at https://www.uea.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/research-degrees/phds-and-studentships/environmental-sciences. The first deadline for applications is 5th January 2015.
