UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
DEPARTMENT OF GEOMATICS
NERC PhD STUDENTSHIPS
SATELLITE GEODESY & GEODYNAMICS and ENVIRONMENTAL REMOTE SENSING
Applications are invited for two NERC-funded studentships leading to the
degree of PhD in Geomatics at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Candidates should possess, or be about to obtain, the equivalent of a UK
first-class or upper second-class degree in a relevant numerate discipline
(e.g. geomatics/surveying, mathematics, physics, Earth/environmental science,
oceanography, physical geography).
One studentship may be held within any area of the overlap between NERC
and departmental research remits (broadly speaking: geodesy; gravimetry;
tectonic, coastal, glacial and hydrological deformation monitoring;
oceanography; environmental remote sensing for vegetation monitoring and
change detection). A fuller description of departmental research interests,
including a list of suggested projects, is available on the department's
WWW pages at http://geomatics.ncl.ac.uk/ .
The second studentship must be held within the field of hydrology and
satellite gravimetric geodesy. For more details about this project, see
http://geomatics.ncl.ac.uk/research/projects/grace/gracephd.htm .
The studentships will carry a stipend at standard NERC rates (min £7,500 pa
plus university fees), and opportunities exist for paid demonstrating work.
The studentships are restricted by NERC's eligibility rules (see the FAQ at
http://www.nerc.ac.uk/funding/students): generally speaking this includes UK
residents and citizens, although other EC residents may be eligible for a
fees-only award.
Informal enquiries about the studentships should be made to Dr Peter Clarke,
Department of Geomatics, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1
7RU, tel: 0191 222 6351, email: [log in to unmask]
Application should be made on the standard University form (available online
at http://www.ncl.ac.uk/postgraduate/apply/ or in hardcopy on request to
[log in to unmask]). The provisional closing date is 1 June 2001,
although exceptional applications received after this date may be considered
for these or other studentships.
