We are part of the NERC London DTP and the NERC TARGET Mineral Resources CDT and regularly recruit PhD students - check here for current studentship opportunities.
We are part of the NERC London DTP and the NERC Training and Research Group for Energy Transition Mineral Resources (TARGET) CDT. These doctoral training programmes fund PhD studentships each year, and we may also offer PhD studentships through other funding routes.
We also co-design bespoke PhD projects with industry – if you are interested in co-designing a PhD project please get in touch.
Come join us:
Specific project opportunities are listed below. We can also discuss other PhD project ideas, particularly for our DTP and CDT funding, and alternative funding routes.
