Interested in coastal geomorphology, wetlands, and/or management? Come and do your PhD as part of our dynamic and expanding Coastal Research Group with Professor Iris Möller! Prof Möller is looking for two fully-funded PhD students who’ll be supervised as part of and will contribute to her Coastal Research Group. The application deadline for both positions is noon, Friday 30th April.
The first position is for a project comparing the geomorphological functioning of natural and managed realignment in constrained estuarine settings in two saltmarsh sites on the Irish Sea coast. You can read more about the position here. The second position is for a project on how the semi-natural North Bull urban barrier island off of Dublin, Ireland, has been responding to physical drivers, both ‘natural’ and human, over the past decades. You can read more about the position here. Both positions are fixed-term up to four years full time PhD studentships, covering TCD (EU student rate) fees of €7,748 per annum and an annual stipend of €16,000 for up to 4 years. You’ll be based in the Department of Geography, Trinity College Dublin, and will be working alongside another PhD student, a post-doctoral researcher and the supervisor, Professor Iris Möller, as well as dedicated field and laboratory support staff within the Department. Both PhDs would suit someone with a (Physical) Geography or Environmental Science/Management background, as well as an interest in – and experience of – working in challenging physical environmental conditions and of geomorphological field monitoring methods. Candidates will have shown an aptitude for independent research through previous study, the ability to write at a high level and have an aptitude for and, ideally, personal experience of the application of digital sensing equipment, knowledge of a programming language (e.g. Matlab or ‘R’), and statistical data analysis.
