These studentships are available through the Edinburgh Earth and
Environment (E3) NERC Doctoral Training Partnership. Under this scheme
UK citizens are eligible for fees and maintenance grant, EU citizens for

Please note the application deadline of 23 January 2015.
If you are interested in a particular project, we encourage you to
contact the supervisor (contact info is given in the project link). More
information on the E3 DTP is available at
