EPSRC Industrial CASE PhD Studentship
The application of Positioning and Geospatial Intelligence Technology
for real-time in-situ reporting and monitoring for environmental
management

Centre for Geospatial Science & Centre for Environmental Management
with SciSys

An EPSRC Industrial PhD CASE studentship with SciSys is available to
conduct research into the application of positioning technologies (e.g.
GPS), and geospatial intelligence technology for real-time in-situ
reporting and monitoring for environmental management. The research
builds on existing programmes within the three partner organisations
and their knowledge of the scientific and commercial state of the art.
The research will investigate the potential for combining mobile
phone-based accurate positioning and timing, high-quality digital
photography and broad-band mobile communications with improved spatial
search and image analysis technology, so that both experts and lay
people can record and report environmental management information about
infrastructure, biodiversity or ambient environmental conditions.

The work will be funded for 3 years with a provisional start date of
1st March 2008, although this is negotiable. The successful candidate
will be expected to spend 3 months placement within the SyiSys. This
Studentship will cover tuition fees at the UK/EU rate and provide a
tax-free stipend of £14,600 p.a.

The successful candidate will have at least a 2:1 Honours degree or MSc
in Computer Science, GIS, Geography or a science-related discipline,
and have an interest in the environment. For informal enquiries and
further details please contact Professor Mike Jackson or Professor Roy
Haines-Young by e-mail.
