University of Cambridge has an opening PhD position in geophysics. This position is available for 5 years. Eligible candidates should submit the applications before April 19, 2019.

We are looking for a highly motived student, with a background (preferably a Masters) in geophysics, physics, or geology. The research conducted by the PhD student will be observational, computational, and multi-disciplinary in nature. Which component is emphasized in the project will depend on the background and interest of the student. There is scope to work on the potential composition of these anomalies and the impact on our understanding of mantle plumes or the magnetic field, working with other researchers within Cambridge and at other institutions.
The studentships are part of the ERC-funded project “ZoomDeep: Zooming in on the core-mantle boundary” by PI Cottaar. The studentships are fixed term for 3,5 years (in first instance). The studentships cover maintenance and fee costs for EU students (including UK). For non-EU students, the stipend does not cover fee costs, and application to other scholarships should be sought.
