Climate Change PhD Scholarship
The University of Sussex invites applications for a fully funded PhD
scholarship for research into climate change and the African climate
system.
The ?The Peter Carpenter Climate Change Scholarship? is open to
citizens of African countries only, and has a start date of October
2011. The scholarship covers 100 per cent of tuition fees and provides
a stipend for living expenses of approximately £13,400. The
scholarship is one component of the African Climate Initiative at
Sussex, which aims to better understand the nature, causes and
consequences of, and responses to climate change in Africa. We
invite applications from those with an exceptional academic record
including a first class degree in a relevant discipline (e.g.
meteorology, physics, environmental science, geosciences, geography).
Candidates with the equivalent of an upper second class degree and
relevant professional experience may be considered.
Closing date for applications is 8 July 2011.
The PhD programme
The PhD will be supervised within the department of Geography, where
there is a vibrant research programme into the climate of Africa
(www.sussex.ac.uk/geography/research/clusters/climateresearch). The
PhD will be focus on one of the major research themes in the
department; Climate change and the water cycle, atmospheric aerosols;
land-atmosphere interaction. Potential topics are provided on the
webpage. Depending on qualifications the successful candidate can
undertake a one year MSc in either ?Climate Change and Development? or
?Climate Change and Policy? prior to the 3-year PhD research programme
(www.sussex.ac.uk/climatechange/mscprogrammes).
Climate Change research at Sussex
The cross campus Sussex climate change network
(www.sussex.ac.uk/climatechange) is a virtual centre for
multi-disciplinary research and teaching into the causes, consequences
of, and responses to climate change. The network brings together world
leading researchers from the University of Sussex and the Institute
for Development Studies (IDS) in a multi-disciplinary programme of
research and teaching to improve our understanding of how climate
change is developing, the impacts on people and the implications for
mitigation and adaptation policy and action. Within the context of
Africa, the network facilitates multi-disciplinary research to improve
the quality of climate information available and its use in
sustainable climate adaptation practice, for example in water
management and agriculture. The University offers state-of-the-art
computing facilities for climate research.ContactsFor further
