PhD opportunity at Heriot-Watt University in particle-toxicant interactions, ecotoxicology, environmental chemistry, and mangrove wetland ecology . This project investigates how particles influence toxicant bioavailability, transformation, and toxicity in a tropical estuarine amphipod model ( Parhyale hawaiensis ) from mangrove wetlands. The work sits within the NERC-funded ECOWILD Centre for Doctoral Training and combines environmental toxicology, analytical chemistry, marine sciences, hydrolog...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at Cranfield University in collaboration with The James Hutton Institute (Dundee) on legumes, nitrogen cycling, biological nitrogen fixation, regenerative agriculture, soil science, plant science, agronomy , and environmental science . The project asks how legume-derived nitrogen moves through soils and crop rotations, and how this knowledge can improve nitrogen-use efficiency and fertiliser recommendations for subsequent crops. The student will work with field exper...
