Fully Funded PhD Studentships in Biosciences at MIBTP Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership in United Kingdom

Earlham Institute in the UK is advertising 9 PhD studentships for an October 2027 start. The advertised research themes include plant gene regulation , genome language models , and fisheries pangenomics , making this a strong opportunity for students interested in the intersection of AI, biology, genomics, and computational life sciences . This is a PhD-level opening rather than a postdoctoral or master's call. The post does not provide detailed eligibility criteria, but the topics suggest a fit...

Harper Adams University is advertising two PhD projects in insect behaviour and sustainable pest management through the BBSRC-funded Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP) , with a start date in October 2027 . The first project, Who chooses the mummy’s microclimate? , asks whether a developing parasitoid wasp can influence where its aphid host moves. It combines behavioural tracking and microclimate experiments to test whether these movements improve parasitoid survival un...

More PhD opportunities are available in agri-relevant disciplines , including one linked to the poster’s own research theme. The opportunity is part of a fully funded dual scheme involving Nottingham Trent University and University of Nottingham . The highlighted theme is “Nitro-gen(eration): Attaining Resilient Fertilizers for Sustainable Food Production” , co-led by Katalin Kovács (University of Nottingham) and Andy Gill (Nottingham Trent University). This suggests research at the intersection...
