Fully Funded PhD Positions in Environmental Science, Biogeochemistry, and Wetland Ecology at Heriot-Watt University Heriot-Watt University in United Kingdom

Research Associate in Marine Biogeochemistry at Imperial College London , based at Silwood Park Campus (hybrid). This is a full-time, fixed-term research post for up to 2 years, funded by UKRI through Horizon Europe . The role sits within the OceanSOS project, an interdisciplinary international consortium studying how seamounts and the currents they generate influence the biological carbon pump and marine carbon cycling. The successful candidate will work on marine biogeochemistry , ocean carbon...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds through YES•DTN . This project, YES-27-G-02: Building Climate-Resilient Landscapes: Ecohydrological Recovery of Peat and Organo-Mineral Soils , focuses on how peat and organo-mineral soils recover after nature-based restoration and what that recovery means for resilience to climate extremes . The research is closely aligned with ecohydrology , peatlands , moorland restoration , and nature-based solutions , with collaboration involving Bridestones Rewild...

PhD opportunity in Ecosystem Responses to Changes in Ocean Circulation at the University of East Anglia . The project sits at the intersection of oceanography , ocean biogeochemical modelling , ocean circulation , biogeochemistry , and climate , with a focus on understanding how marine ecosystems respond to circulation changes in the ocean carbon cycle. The post is being advertised by Tereza Jarníková and is supervised by Prof. Corinne Le Quéré , Prof. Alessandro Tagliabue , and Tereza Jarníková...

Funded PhD opportunity at Newcastle University focused on microplastics , heavy metals , river and estuary pollution , and coastal processes . The project investigates how microplastics transport heavy metals through rivers and estuaries, building on work related to the recent River Tyne nurdle spill . The research combines fieldwork , laboratory experiments , and hydrodynamic modelling to understand the role of plastics in moving legacy contamination through aquatic systems. This is a strong fi...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in Toulouse, France, under the MSCA COFUND BEST programme. The project focuses on Sahara dust in the Pyrenees, using peat records and current monitoring services to reconstruct Saharan dust input over Spain and France. The research combines peat archives, atmospheric collectors, trace-metal geochemistry, and isotope geochemistry, making it a strong fit for students interested in Environmental Science, Earth Science, Geology, and Chemistry. The PhD will be hosted in T...
