PhD in Earth Systems Engineering: Sustainable cities, infrastructure and catchments

Earth Systems Engineering addresses the analysis, design, engineering and management of coupled human, environmental and engineered systems. It relates to how engineering decisions can take better account of long term changes (e.g. in the climate, land use and human behaviour), societal interactions (e.g. between the built environment, transport demand and greenhouse gas emissions) and other uncertainties.

The Centre for Earth Systems Engineering Research (CESER) at Newcastle University, U.K. is seeking an outstanding candidate for a funded PhD student position in its Earth Systems Engineering programme.

Our programme brings together work on (i) natural hazards and environmental change, (ii) field monitoring and geomatics, (iii) informatics and systems modelling, (iv) decision-support tools and methods. We invite applications in the topics above, in areas related to our catchment; sustainable cities or infrastructure systems programme.
