A UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) funded PhD opportunity exists at the University of Aberdeen to study the prehistoric Alaskan zooarchaeological record - Deadline for applications - 25^th March 2011

 

The project is fully funded and includes a UK stipend, academic fees and research funds. Unfortunately, due to the criteria set out by the funding body, we cannot accept applications from International students for this studentship. BUT “A relevant connection may be established for an EU student if the candidate has been ordinarily resident in the UK throughout the 3-year period preceding the date of application for an award (including for full-time education)”

 

Further details about the project (plus information on how to apply) may be found by visiting the University of Aberdeen Archaeology Department’s news page and following the relevant link.
