About this position

The British Antarctic Survey is advertising five fully funded PhD projects for October 2027 entry through the NERC Iapetus Doctoral Training Partnership. The projects offer research across polar climate science, glaciology, ice-sheet dynamics, atmospheric extremes, Arctic ecosystems and mountain hydrology.

Projects include numerical modelling of anisotropic ice flow in West Antarctica, with applications to the Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers, and a data-modelling study of Holocene Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics using ice-core proxies and high-resolution ice-sheet modelling. Another project examines jet-stream regimes and atmospheric rivers as drivers of Antarctic climate extremes, surface melting and supraglacial lake formation on ice shelves.

The ECO-ICE project investigates the ecological effects of Arctic sea-ice thickening through mesocosm experiments and ecosystem modelling, focusing on the consequences of polar geoengineering for Arctic plankton communities. A further project addresses extreme wet and dry periods in the Himalayas by analysing lake-sediment records from Nepal and developing climate-model simulations of Himalayan precipitation events.

Students will benefit from co-supervision and natural-sciences training within a supportive nationwide cohort involving the Iapetus partnership institutions, including Durham, Glasgow, Heriot-Watt, Newcastle, St Andrews and Stirling, alongside the British Geological Survey and UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.

Five competitive, fully funded 3.5-year PhD studentships are offered for UK and international applicants.

Funding details

Five 3.5-year PhD studentships are fully funded and begin in October 2027. The post does not specify the stipend amount or detailed tuition and fee arrangements.

What's required

Applicants must undergo a competitive application process and meet the eligibility requirements of the NERC Iapetus DTP. The studentships are open to UK and international applicants; international applicants should check the website because earlier deadlines apply. Project-specific scientific or quantitative skills may be relevant, including numerical modelling, data-modelling approaches, mesocosm experiments, ecosystem modelling, climate-model simulations and analysis of ice-core or lake-sediment records.

How to apply

Browse the Iapetus DTP projects at www.iapetus.ac.uk and submit a competitive application through the partnership website. International applicants should check the website for earlier deadlines and detailed eligibility information.
