Four years (full-time, or pro rata part-time). Stipend funded by UKRI (AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership) at 2024/25 rate (currently £19,237); annual training and research allowance with £1,000 per year from Historic England; tuition fees (UK Home rate, £4,786 per year).
Newcastle University and Historic England are pleased a fully funded collaborative doctoral studentship under the AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDP)
The project will examine how cutting-edge methods could help us use relevant historic landscape characteristics to address risks associated with increasingly intense rainfall, focussing on soil erosion and flood risk.
The project is original because it will use specific case-studies to develop a new methodology and create knowledge about the long-term environmental value of key historic character types in the UK. It is important because this knowledge has the potential to underpin strategies which use historic character in climate change adaptation. The project includes the opportunity for a placement with Historic England during the fourth year of the research.
Increasing equality, diversity and inclusion is a priority for Newcastle University and Historic England. We welcome applications from all interested candidates and we do not expect that applicants will have experience of all the techniques that may be used during the project. Full training will be provided. The successful candidate will become part of the wider cohort of students funded by the CDP across the UK.
