[ES_JOBS_NET] NERC-funded PhD studentships in paleoclimate at the University of Exeter, UK

[Littler, Kate]

Good afternoon,

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.

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.


"Global change during the Jurassic; exploiting the UK borehole archive."

"Investigating climate change and carbon-cycling in the Late Cretaceous–Early Paleogene; new geochemical records from the South Atlantic and Spain."
http://www.exeter.ac.uk/studying/funding/award/?id=1300

"Determining the origin of wetter than modern climate conditions during the warm Pliocene"
http://www.exeter.ac.uk/studying/funding/award/?id=1294

"Trends in North Atlantic Ocean sea surface temperature and their origin(s) during the late Pliocene intensification of northern hemisphere glaciation"
http://www.exeter.ac.uk/studying/funding/award/?id=1308


Deadline for all applications is 10th January 2014.

All NERC eligible students with suitable backgrounds in geology/physical geography/geochemistry/climate change etc are encouraged to apply. Contact Kate Littler (k.littler at exeter.ac.uk), Stephen Hesselbo (S.P.Hesselbo at exeter.ac.uk) or Ian Bailey (I.Bailey at exeter.ac.uk) for further information.
