Trinity College Dublin is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship (2026–2030) in cross-site environmental exposure science , focused on how nature-based solutions affect child and adolescent health . The project examines nature-based solutions as a measurable exposure intervention rather than assuming benefits, with a focus on climate-sensitive settings in Madagascar, Ireland, and the Netherlands . The research will combine repeat environmental sampling with geochemical source tracing across water, soils, and sediments, and will also study whether community involvement in monitoring changes knowledge, risk perception, and long-term stewardship. The successful student will join a larger interdisciplinary programme and work alongside three other PhD researchers and supervisors in areas including medicine, psychology, geography, and global health. Funding: full tuition plus a €25,000/year tax-free stipend for four years, with fieldwork across all three sites. Eligibility: applicants should have a strong background (2.1 or equivalent) in earth sciences, environmental geochemistry, hydrology, environmental engineering , or a related discipline, and should be comfortable working across disciplinary boundaries. Supervisors: Prof. Quentin Crowley (School of Natural Sciences) and Dr. Kristin Hadfield (Trinity Centre for Global Health, School of Psychology). Deadline: 17 June 2026. How to apply: email a CV, cover letter, and one-page research proposal to [email protected] and [email protected] .

Trinity College Dublin’s School of Psychology is advertising 4 fully funded PhD opportunities through the AIB Trinity Climate Hub Trinity Research Doctorate Award (TRDA) scheme. The projects are interdisciplinary and connect psychology , public health , environmental science , geography , and statistics with a strong focus on nature-based solutions , climate-related health, and environmental exposure science. Available PhD topics include: - Youth-Led Nature-Based Solutions for Groundwater Security in Madagascar - Urban Nature-Based Solutions for the promotion of Active Travel in Finglas West, north Dublin - Implementing and evaluating nature-based solutions for health in children and adolescents - Cross-Site Environmental Exposure Science for Nature-Based Solutions and Child and Adolescent Health The supervisors listed include staff from Trinity College Dublin across the School of Psychology, School of Engineering, School of Natural Sciences, and School of Medicine. Named supervisors include Kristin Hadfield , Patrick Morrisey , Cathal Walsh , Brian Caulfield , Alina Cosma , Frederique Vallieres , Iris Moeller , and Quentin Crowley . The post says these PhD opportunities are fully funded . No stipend amount, tuition details, or deadline are included in the provided text. Interested applicants should open the linked call, read the full project descriptions, and follow the application instructions in the TRDA announcement. This is a strong fit for candidates interested in interdisciplinary doctoral research on climate, health, children and adolescents, active travel, groundwater security, and environmental exposure science.
