Funded PhD in Microplastics Transport of Heavy Metals in Rivers and Estuaries Newcastle 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 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...

Exciting fully funded PhD opportunity in marine biology , ecotoxicology , and ecophysiology at the Marine Biological Association , with research also carried out at the University of Plymouth . The project, titled “Double whammy? The combined effects of microplastics and marine heatwaves on digestive physiology and performance in marine invertebrates” , will investigate how two major environmental stressors— microplastics and marine heatwaves —interact to affect the health and fitness of ecologi...

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 opportunities are available with The University of Edinburgh in microbial carbon cycling in soils . The research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that shape the balance of carbon in soils across different ecosystems, with an emphasis on microbial processes, fungal-bacterial interactions, and soil carbon dynamics. The work is interdisciplinary and may involve omics , stable isotope tools , organic chemistry , and modelling approaches . A forthcoming E5 DTP-funded project with Fo...
