Josh's Water Jobs - Annual PhD List! 157 Jobs!

From Josh:

My favorite list of the year, it’s time for our annual PhD list (and a few Master’s)! While we post PhDs every week, the academic hiring season is on right now, so we put this list together to capture the many graduate school opportunities that are out there.

The list is 50% larger than last year’s and there are positions in 15 countries, but by far mostly in the U.K. We did have a second list last year, so we’ll see if enough continue to crop up where another is necessary. In the meantime, good luck with your applications!

For all PhD opportunities on JWJ, you can go here (as there were already ~40 on the website before these below were added).

Back to the “normal” jobs list next Tuesday.
