PhD Positions for University of Plymouth-UCC Climate and Sustainability Doctoral Training Partnership
Applications are invited for three-year PhD studentships as part of the University of Plymouth (UoP)-University College Cork (UCC) Climate and Sustainability Doctoral Training Partnership (Enabling our regions to meet the challenges, and realise the opportunities, from the climate crisis).
This Doctoral Training Partnership represents an exciting new collaboration between University of Plymouth (UoP) and University College Cork (UCC) in the area of climate and sustainability research. UCC and UoP have a reputation for world-leading and award-winning sustainability research and teaching. UoP has been named as one of the top 25 institutions globally in the Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings 2021. UCC was named 8th in the THE rankings in 2021. Both UCC and UoP have significant institutional capacity for research in sustainability, environmental and marine exemplified by centres such as the Sustainable Earth Institute and Marine Institute at UoP, and Environmental Research Institute and SFI MaREI Centre at UCC.
To build on existing partnerships and establish new areas of research collaboration, UoP and UCC are establishing a joint Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) which will commence in October 2022. The DTP will focus on research related to climate and sustainability with a particular emphasis on leveraging the combined experience and expertise of UCC and UoP, and referencing their specific geographies. The DTP will promote excellence in research through the training of a cohort of inter- and trans-disciplinary doctoral students and the fostering of collaboration between the two universities.
The DTP will host six PhD students of whom three will be registered at UoP and three at UCC. All six students will have supervisory teams comprising academic staff from both institutions.
Within University College Cork successful candidates will be awarded a studentship for 3 years which covers fees, stipend (non-taxable stipend of €18,500 per year) and funding to cover research costs (€4000). A discrete annual travel/collaboration budget between UCC-UoP will also be available.
