Doctoral studentships in the Earth and Environment Sciences

The Edinburgh Earth, Ecology and Environment Doctoral Training Partnership (E4 DTP) is funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and led by the School of GeoSciences at the University of Edinburgh. The programme brings together 28 partners from the research, education, policy and industry sectors.

Two graduate students have been supervised by National Museums Scotland curatorial staff or jointly with Edinburgh University Faculty.

• David Cooper: Big Cat Biogeography and Climate Change
• Elsa Panciroli: The origin and early evolution of mammals: study of an exceptional skeleton from the Middle Jurassic of Skye, Scotland

In addition, a graduate student from the University of Bristol has been supervised by Natural Sciences staff as part of a NERC Collaborative Award in Science and Engineering ('CASE' Award).

• Richard Kelly: Insect evolution through a crisis: the Triassic-Jurassic of England
