About this position
Two fully funded PhD positions are available at the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland, as part of the project 'Studying glacier–ocean interactions using the natural laboratory of Hornsund Fjord, Svalbard.' The research focuses on interdisciplinary topics in glaciology, oceanography, and remote sensing, with an emphasis on ice–ocean interactions in the High Arctic. The first PhD project will analyze glacier calving and submarine melting mechanisms, while the second will study variability in ice conditions across glacier bays using satellite and time-lapse data. Both projects involve fieldwork at the Polish Polar Station Hornsund, participation in international conferences, and collaboration with global partners.
The positions are funded by the Polish National Science Centre (NCN), with a total project budget of 3.5 million PLN. The scholarship provides 5000 PLN gross per month for the first two years and 6500 PLN gross per month for the final two years, contingent on a mid-term evaluation. The program is part of the International Environmental Doctoral School (IEDS) associated with the Centre for Polar Studies at the University of Silesia in Katowice.
Applicants must have a master's degree in a relevant field and will be evaluated based on scientific achievements, research experience, and competence. The selection process includes a preliminary evaluation and an interview, where candidates present their achievements and motivation. Required documents include an application form, cover letter, CV, list of scientific achievements, ORCID number, and a copy of the master's diploma. Registration is through the IRK online system, and documents must be submitted by April 17, 2026. For scientific inquiries, contact [email protected]; for application questions, contact [email protected].
Key research areas: glaciology, oceanography, remote sensing, Arctic studies, ice-ocean interactions, glacier calving, submarine melting, satellite data analysis, and environmental mapping. The project offers a unique opportunity to work in an international research environment and contribute to understanding climate-related processes in polar regions.
