The University of Swansea in the United Kingdom is offering a fully-funded three-year Ph.D. Research Scholarship in the BIOSCIENCES, titled "DESIGNING NEW GULLY POTS TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE ON AMPHIBIANS". This scholarship is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and South Wales Trunk Road Agent (SWTRA). This project proposes to capitalize on the combined expertise in amphibian behavior (Dr. Kevin Arbuckle) and engineering of drainage systems (Dr. Patricia Xavier) to work with the successful candidate to develop a new gully design to address this need.

In addition to UK students, international and EU students are eligible to apply for these studentships but should note that they may have to pay the difference between the home UKRI fee and the institutional international student fee.
