Overview
The Environmental Research Institute (ERI) is part of the North Highland College, one of the academic partners in the UHI Millennium Institute, the 'emergent university of the Highlands and Islands'. Our mission is 'to address contemporary environmental issues and advance understanding in the sustainable use of the earth's natural resources through research excellence and innovative scientific leadership'.
The institute's activities are wide ranging and include Research (applied and fundamental), Knowledge Transfer, Consultancy & Commercial Services and Education & Training. The ERI is a vibrant, dynamic and growing research organisation. It has a young, highly-motivated team of more than thirty who have active collaborations and partnerships with academic, research, commercial and stakeholder organisations from across the UK, Europe and worldwide.
Through funding secured from the Scottish Funding Council (SFC), Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), we are delighted to announce four new PhD opportunities to be hosted at ERI through the Marine Renewable Energy & the Environment (MaREE) programme. A further two opportunities are available at the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban (http://www.sams.ac.uk/)
The projects supported will be selected from the following:
•Assessing movements of seabirds in relation to marine renewable energy•Tidal races in the Pentland Firth as an obstacle to tidal stream energy development.
•The meteorological forcing of current and sea level anomalies in Pentland Firth•Temporal variability in benthic habitats of the Pentland Firth
•Weather window constraints and costs for marine power
•Practical methods for the estimation of surface waves within a tidal channel: The Inner Sound, Pentland Firth, Scotland
•Tidal energy and the matching of supply and demand over the UK Grid
Full descriptions of these projects and details of how to apply can be found at www.eri.ac.uk
Amount awarded
Applicants should have, or expect to obtain, a minimum of an upper second-class honours degree in a relevant discipline. Each position will be salaried at c. £16,800. Candidates may apply for more than one project.
