Caitlin- Thought I would send these along. I'm not sure I would encourage your application, as there is significant difficulty for an American to transition into the UK system, mainly insufficient graduate-course background. "NERC" means they are looking for EU folks, not Americans. Still, there is one "externally" funded project. Again, I don't necessarily encourage application, but I thought I'd send it along.
