The Data Science of the Natural Environment (DSNE) project is a 4-year, £2.6M interdisciplinary research programme that brings together environmental scientists, computer scientists, data
scientists and statisticians from Lancaster University and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
Associated with DSNE, we are advertising several PhD positions across environmental data science, including those that are environment-led, methods-led and social science-led. It is expected that we will fund 5 PhD positions from
the range of projects that we are advertising.
Detailed information on the advertised PhD projects can be found here, including information on the application process. Titles of the projects are
listed at the end of this message.
Application deadline: 5pm (GMT), 11th February 2019 (extended by popular demand!)
General enquiries: dsne@lancaster.ac.uk
Unfortunately, the PhD funding is only for UK and EU applicants.
