It’s that time of year again when the IGNITE Doctoral Landscape Award shares its latest round of supervisor-led research projects. 79 projects are now live on FindAPhD, and you could be the person to help shape the future of environmental science, with applications now open.
We are looking for the next generation of sector-leading environmental scientists who are motivated to respond to the pressures of climate change, face up to environmental challenges, and meet the needs of business, government, and society.
All of our world-class research projects are situated within the following broad themes:
- Oceans and climate
- The dynamic Earth
- Interaction of organisms with the global environment
The IGNITE DLA provides its postgraduate researchers with a 3.5-year studentship which includes:
- UK tuition fees, covered in full
- A tax-free stipend of £21,805 per year (the UK Research and Innovation 2026/27 rate) to help with living costs
- An annual £2,200 Research Training Support Grant to fund PhD-related opportunities such as attendance at conferences, seminars and outreach activities
The programme also includes a bespoke multidisciplinary training and careers programme and a placements scheme designed to help postgraduate researchers enhance their academic journey by stepping outside the traditional boundaries of their PhD project.
