The Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology invites applications for PhD Scholarships from individuals who aspire to become influential researchers in their field. In accepting this invitation, you will embark on an exceptional research journey with us in our Environmental Futures initiative.
Environmental Futures harnesses UTAS’s world-class interdisciplinary research that calls on our strengths in chemistry, plant science, zoology, evolutionary biology, ecology, marine sciences and oceanography, agricultural science, earth science, mathematical modelling, bio-informatics, biogeography and remote sensing. We link with architects and designers, philosophers, social and political scientists and economists to address the human and community issues that form the matrix for addressing environmental challenges, at the local, national and international level.
By completing your PhD at UTAS you will: utilise Tasmania’s proximity to unique and diverse ecosystems such as alpine heath, temperate rainforests, coastal landscapes, the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, conduct your research in Australia’s very own ‘living laboratory’, work alongside leading researchers; have access to world-class facilities; and recognise the power of your ideas to make a difference in Australia’s environmental future.
If you have what it takes to contribute to Australia’s environmental future, apply now for a 2012 PhD Scholarship. You can contact Jessica.Burt@utas.edu.au on (03) 6226 2845
