PhD Studentships Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Plymouth, UK
www.pml.ac.uk
Plymouth Marine Laboratory (PML) works with a number of university partners to train tomorrow’s leaders in Environmental Science. These collaborations, known as Doctoral Training Partnerships, (DTPs), offer postgraduate studentships and training across the full range of multidisciplinary environments, helping to enrich the student experience.
Each DTP will create a strong and active community of students that are able - and encouraged - to integrate, work, and learn together. Students will receive in-depth, advanced research training, as well as training in the professional and transferable skills essential in today’s economy.
PML is a multidisciplinary, internationally renowned, strategic marine research centre. For 2014/15 we have a number of prestigious and exciting opportunities for outstanding students wishing to conduct PhD projects in our five areas of research excellence: Earth observation and remote sensing; biogeochemical cycling; biodiversity and molecular science; marine ecosystem modelling; and socioeconomics of ecosystem goods and services.
These PhD opportunities are developed with partners and we are currently looking to attract excellent candidates for one of the DTPs. Further details on the partnership can be found here:
EnvEast (with the Universities of East Anglia, Kent and Essex)
