PhD in Hydrology of Grassland Peat Soils and Peatland Condition University of Galway in Ireland

PhD opportunity in hydrology of grassland peat soils within the PEAT-GENIE project, a multidisciplinary initiative using artificial intelligence and generative AI to make environmental research data more accessible and useful for decision-making.

The project focuses on peatland science, soil physical properties, hydrology, and environmental data analysis. The successful PhD student will investigate relationships between peat soil characteristics and peatland hydrology to better understand water table dynamics and peatland condition, with the broader aim of supporting climate resilience, biodiversity protection, and sustainable natural resource management.

The student will be based at Teagasc, Moorepark, Co. Cork, and will work as part of a multidisciplinary research team developing AI-enabled approaches to environmental monitoring and decision support. This is a strong fit for applicants interested in peatlands, earth system science, hydrology, environmental monitoring, and data-driven research.

Start date: September 2026. Application deadline: Friday, 31 July 2026.
