PhD Opportunities
This page details PhD projects of which we are aware. This list is by no means exhaustive and the institutions listed, and others, may well be offering additional projects. Further details for many of these projects are already available on institutional websites. For UK PhD programmes, note that application deadlines can be as early as January, and interviews usually take place during the period January-April.
This list relies on supervisors submitting details of their projects. If you are advertising a PhD currently, please submit it using the form linked below:
Deconvolving the early record of eukaryotic evolution
Two four-year PhD positions at the interface of organic geochemistry, isotope geochemistry, and palaeobiology.
The positions are part of the ERC project "Deconvolving the early record of eukaryotic evolution", which investigates how life and environments coevolved during the Neoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic, and the origins and ecological success of eukaryotes - from the earliest protists to the rise of animals. One project will investigate major carbon isotope excursions using biomarker and compound-specific isotope analyses. The second will explore the emergence of eukaryote-dominated marine ecosystems by integrating biomarkers, fossils, and stable isotope records.
