vor 2 Wochen
Join a world-leading, cross-continental research team
The University of Exeter and the University of Queensland are seeking exceptional students to join a world-leading, cross-continental research team tackling major challenges facing the world’s population in global sustainability and wellbeing as part of the QUEX Institute. The joint PhD programme provides a fantastic opportunity for the most talented doctoral students to work closely with world-class research groups and benefit from the combined expertise and facilities offered at the two institutions, with a lead supervisor within each university. This prestigious programme provides full tuition fees, stipend, travel funds and research training support grants to the successful applicants. The studentship provides funding for up to 42 months (3.5 years).
Eight generous, fully-funded studentships are available for the best applicants, four offered by the University of Exeter and four by the University of Queensland. This select group will spend at least one year at each University and will graduate with a joint degree from the University of Exeter and the University of Queensland.

Successful applicants will have a strong academic background and track record to undertake research projects based in one of the three themes of: Healthy Living, Global Environmental Futures and Digital Worlds and Disruptive Technologies.
The closing date for applications is mid-day Friday June 28th 2024 (BST), with interview to be w/c 29th July 2024 (tbc).
The start date is expected to be Monday January 6th 2025.
Please note that of the eight Exeter led projects advertised, we expect that up to four studentships will be awarded to Exeter based students.
THEME - Global Environmental Futures
Project Description
Arid, semi-arid and hyper-arid regions cover around 25% of the earth surface, and are characterised by lack of available water, extremely high evapotranspirative gradients and sparse or ephemeral surface water bodies. Climate change threatens to dramatically expand arid areas, whereby 30% of the earth could become at least semi-arid by 2100, severely impacting available water resources for more than 1 billion people. This will have devastating consequences such as loss of vegetation and major shifts in biodiversity, causing reduced agricultural production, soil degradation, ecosystem changes, all of which will drive outward migration from an increasingly larger land mass. Therefore, it is imperative to find solutions for adaptation and to restore the availability of water resources in drylands globally.
Full tuition fees, stipend of £19,237 p.a, travel funds of up to £15,000, and RTSG of £10,715 are available over the 3.5 year studentship
