PhD Opportunities in Mining Engineering in Ireland

Hardiman Research Scholarships at the University of Galway support fully funded doctoral study through the university’s structured PhD programmes in Ireland. The scholarship combines research with teaching modules and skills training, giving successful candidates a supported route into doctoral research. The award provides a stipend and full tuition fee coverage for up to four years. It is open across the university’s PhD subject areas, so the project topic depends on the academic supervision an...

Alan Seltzer is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher and a PhD researcher to join a new research group at the University College Dublin School of Earth Sciences in Ireland. The positions are part of the ERC-funded TabPhish project, which explores groundwater systems and environmental change using noble gas and isotope geochemistry. The research offers opportunities for fieldwork and laboratory research, as well as collaboration with international partners, including co-supervisor Werner Aeschbac...

This PhD project at the University of Limerick focuses on enhancing biodiversity and selected ecosystem services within industrial landscapes through evidence-based land management. The research combines ecological field surveys with experimental management interventions to identify practical strategies that can improve biodiversity, soil function, and carbon storage while still supporting operational land-use requirements. Working in collaboration with industry partners, the PhD candidate will ...
