Thanks for your interest - good to know that serious people are interested in developing a career in this area

We are currently very small - just 4 guys - so I cannot commit to anything at this stage - however

1. We are sponsoring a PhD at Heriot Watt / Scottish Center for Carbon Capture and Storage - which you may be interested in applying for - check out http://www.geos.ed.ac.uk/postgraduate/PhD/getDocument?SerialNo=437

2. We are currently seeking major finance - so will be in a better position to know if we can offer anything in January or February next year - so I suggest you try me again then.

Regards - Ian Phillips
