PhD Projects in Glaciology, Sea Ice & Climate Science

About the role

The Antarctic Research Centre invites applications for full‑time PhD projects focused on glaciology, sea‑ice ecology and climate science. Candidates will join a leading research team studying the Antarctic cryosphere and its global impacts.

Key responsibilities

• Conduct field‑based research on glacier mass balance, sea‑ice microalgal diversity and Southern Hemisphere climate dynamics.
• Analyse process‑scale physical data and link it to regional climate models.
• Collaborate with supervisors and international partners on interdisciplinary projects.
• Prepare scientific reports, publications and present findings at conferences.

Required profile

• Master’s degree in a relevant discipline (e.g., geosciences, climate science, glaciology).
• Strong interest in Antarctic research and cryospheric processes.
• Ability to work in remote field environments and handle logistical challenges.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

Required skills

What we offer

• Access to world‑class Antarctic research facilities and datasets.
• Mentorship from leading scientists in the field.
• Opportunities for international collaboration and conference participation.
