Ocean Acidification
Announcement of Opportunity for studentship proposals
Closing date: 16:00 on 8 December 2009
Proposals are invited for studentships as part of the UK Ocean Acidification Research Programme. This £12m collaborative programme is a Living With Environmental Change (LWEC) accredited programme and is co-funded by NERC, the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) and the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC).
This integrated strategic programme directly relates to the delivery of the NERC strategy (Earth System Science and Biodiversity science themes) and the UK government's Strategic Objectives with respect to adapting to, and mitigating, climate change and ensuring a healthy resilient, productive and diverse natural environment.
This call is to broaden community engagement and strengthen the capacity development activities of the programme by funding up to five studentships that will address the deliverables of this programme. Joint supervision between the different science communities, at the national and international level is strongly encouraged.
Researchers submitting a full proposal to the main UK Ocean Acidification Research Programme Announcement of Opportunity will not be eligible to apply. Eligibility for this programme includes the UK government departments' marine laboratories.
