Overview
The UHI Millennium Institute (UHI) is the 'emergent university of the Highlands and Islands'. Through funding secured from Highlands and Islands Enterprise and the European Regional Development Fund, the UHI is delighted to offer six new PhD opportunities at two of its academic partners, the Environmental Research Institute (ERI) at North Highland College in Thurso and the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) in Oban. Projects are fully funded and will address some of the key environmental issues underpinning the development of marine renewable energy.
Six projects (four at ERI and two at SAMS) will be supported from the following:
At the ERI, Thurso:
- 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
At SAMS, Oban:
- Marine Spatial Planning, innovation and renewable energy - supporting a transition to sustainable regional economies
- Sensitivity of biogenic reef forming organisms and commercially important benthic invertebrates in an era of marine renewable development
How to apply
Full descriptions of these projects and details of how to apply can be found at www.sams.ac.uk
Amount awarded
Applicants should have, or expect to obtain, a first class or upper second-class honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline. Each position will be salaried at c. £16,800.
Closing date for receipt of applications is Wednesday 14th July.
