About this position
Newcastle University is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in geology, geophysics, and uncertainty quantification, hosted in the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences. The project focuses on improving prediction of fluid behaviour in subsurface geoenergy applications, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), geothermal energy, and hydrogen storage.
The research aims to improve the conceptual representation of the subsurface and its numerical realisation by better characterising structural geometries, discontinuities, and stratigraphic heterogeneity. This is a strong fit for applicants interested in Earth science, subsurface modelling, and energy transition research.
Eligibility: applicants should have a background in geology and/or geophysics and an interest in uncertainty quantification. The post states that funding is for Home UK only.
Funding: fully funded PhD studentship. A second related project is also mentioned as fully funded and focused on formation alteration during geothermal production.
Deadline: 5 June 2026.
How to apply: review the full project details using the Newcastle University funding page link and submit your application before the deadline. If you are interested in the second project, check its linked page as well.
