For those interested in a PhD further afield :- PhD scholarships in Antarctic Climate Research (University of Canterbury, New Zealand) PhD scholarships on offer for Antarctic climate research projects in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. We currently have a number of atmospheric science research projects relevant to Antarctic climate available for qualified graduate students. These projects focus on understanding how greenhouse gases have impacted Antarctic climate, identifying changes in atmospheric circulation patterns in the Ross Sea and examining the role of atmospheric forcing on the formation of sea ice. The projects on offer are international in nature with close links to researchers in the United States and Australia. These projects are highly likely to involve fieldwork in Antarctica.. More information on the department can be found at <http://www.phys.canterbury.ac.nz> Successful applicants will be offered a PhD scholarship from the Department and will be supported in their application for a more prestigious PhD scholarship from the University of Canterbury.
