The Environmental Processes Lab is supporting PhD studentships through the NERC-funded Central England NERC Training Alliance (CENTA) and through the BBSRC-funded Midlands Doctoral Training Partnership (MIBTP). These studentships will begin October 2024.

 

We are also excited to support outstanding applicants for other funding opportunities, including the the Warwick Chancellor's International Scholarship, China Scholarship Council- University of Warwick Scholarships, and the Monash Warwick Alliance Joint PhD Scholarships.
