Study Area: This PhD studentship focuses on the exciting intersection between Artificial Intelligence and Environmental Sciences, specifically targeting the application of AI in monitoring environmental resources.
Scholarship Description: The scholarship offers full funding for a 4-year PhD program, including UK tuition fees, an annual stipend, and a research budget. The research is centered on leveraging artificial intelligence techniques to revolutionize environmental monitoring, particularly in freshwater ecosystems where algal blooms pose challenges. The project aims to develop AI-based solutions for efficient algal monitoring.
Eligibility: The ideal candidate should possess expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and convolutional neural network construction and optimization. UK eligibility is a prerequisite for this funding, and experience in coding (e.g., Python, R) is strongly desired. No specific background in microalgae or environmental sciences is required. Applications from under-represented groups are encouraged.
Required Documents: To apply, submit your official application to the “PhD in Geographical Sciences (Physical Geography)” research program at the University of Bristol. Additionally, contact Dr. Williamson at c.williamson@bristol.ac.uk to express your interest in this position.
How to Apply: The deadline for applications is Friday 24 November 2023. The studentship is set to commence in January 2024. Note that this funding opportunity is not competitive against other projects. To apply officially, use the following link: https://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/apply/.
This is an exceptional opportunity to embark on a groundbreaking journey at the forefront of AI applications in Environmental Sciences. Apply before the deadline to become part of this innovative research project and join the University of Bristol’s School of Geographical Sciences in January 2024. If you have any questions or need further information, don’t hesitate to reach out to Dr. Williamson at c.williamson@bristol.ac.uk.
