About this opportunity

Applications are open for the CENTA fully funded PhD studentships for autumn 2027 entry, offering prospective doctoral researchers the opportunity to pursue advanced research in Earth and Environmental Sciences through a partnership of leading universities and research centres in the English Midlands.

The studentships are designed for candidates who want to develop specialist research skills, contribute to scientific knowledge, and prepare for careers in research, academia, environmental management, and related fields. Successful applicants will benefit from an annual stipend, tuition fee support at the home-fee level, a Research Training Support Grant to cover eligible research-related expenses (such as field activities, training, and conference participation), and access to an extensive training programme.

Rather than offering a single research topic, the programme features a wide range of projects across Earth and Environmental Sciences. Prospective applicants can explore available research projects and application details through the official CENTA DTP website.

Who Can Apply

Open to candidates aiming to pursue doctoral-level study in Earth and Environmental Sciences. Applicants must meet the entry and fee status requirements of the host university/project. Tuition fees are covered at the home-fee level; international applicants should check specific eligibility rules and whether international fee differences apply.

How to Apply

Prospective candidates should review individual project listings on the official CENTA website to confirm required academic backgrounds, specific selection criteria, and project-level application procedures before submitting their application.
