We have many
ongoing Ph. D. research projects at the White Rose Palaeobiology
Group, with new opportunities becoming available each year. A few
examples are given below - for details of other research conducted
by the group please see our Projects
pages. If you are interested in working with us check out our Opportunities
page.
