<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Good afternoon,
<br>
<br>
The new Deep Time Global Change group at the University of Exeter (Camborne School of Mines) has four NERC PhD studentship opportunities, in a range of paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental topics spanning the Jurassic to the Pliocene.
<br>
<br>
Each project will employ a variety of geochemical, sedimentological and paleontological techniques, to address questions related to climate change and carbon-cycle perturbations in the deep past. Each comes with full NERC studentship funding, are tenable for
3.5 years, commencing in September 2014. <br>
