Dear all,
I have just been made aware of three fully funded PhD Scholarship opportunities at the University of Sheffield Management School. Unfortunately the deadline is tomorrow (1st February). These scholarships are for research based in any of the school's research centres, but of particular relevance to this list is probably the Centre for Energy, Environment and Sustainability of which I am a member. If you want to know more about this centre then please contact me, if you have any further queries about the studentships please follow the contacts in the message below.
Kind regards,
Rob
