Fully Funded PhD Positions in Environmental Science: Biogeochemistry, Carbon Cycling, and Riparian Zone Dynamics at Heriot-Watt University Dundee 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...

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...

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...

PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham for 2027 entry through the CENTA PhD project . Project title: A Multi-Scale Quantitative Investigation of Micro- and Nanoplastic Disruptions in Algal Physiology, Trophic Dynamics, and Carbon Sequestration (Project code: 2027-B10). This interdisciplinary PhD explores how microplastics and nanoplastics affect aquatic ecology , including particle uptake by algae, impacts on algal physiology, transfer through aquatic food webs, and consequences for car...
