About this position

Orkney has seen its second significant disruption in recent months when a subsea cable damage disrupted phone and internet services to hundreds on the island https://lnkd.in/d4BTzbST .

Then this Phd position co-supervised with Prof. Susan Krumdieck might just be for you. Deadline for applications is 24.08.2025.
