Funded PhD in Modelling Human and Livestock Movement and Tropical Disease Ecology University of Warwick in United Kingdom

Queen's University Belfast is recruiting for a 3-year fully funded PhD project in the School of Biological Sciences as part of the BBSRC “MosquitoNI” project. The project focuses on mosquito-borne disease risk associated with avian hosts , exploring how avian reservoirs, bridge vectors, and pathogen risks interact in a data-scarce region. This is a strong fit for applicants interested in biology , environmental science , public health , ecology , virology , and modelling . Supervision is multidi...

PhD opportunity in Wildlife Disease at the University of Warwick This funded PhD project is based at the Zeeman Institute, University of Warwick, in Coventry, United Kingdom, and is part of the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership. The project focuses on wildlife disease , disease ecology , mathematical modelling , statistical analysis , and evolutionary ecology . The research team integrates models with field data to understand how wildlife diseases spread and persist across ec...

PhD opportunity at the University of Oxford (Botnar Research Centre / NDORMS / Centre for Statistics in Medicine) on clinical prediction models , external validation , transportability , reproducibility , medical statistics , epidemiology , and prediction model updating . The project asks when a prediction model can be transferred across healthcare settings without losing performance, and how differences in patient case mix, clinical setting, or time period affect discrimination and calibration....

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in Uncertainty in AI-Augmented Climate Risk Analytics for Global Food Supply Chains . This project sits at the intersection of climate science , data science , environmental geography , human geography , information systems , mathematical modelling , and public policy . The research addresses how climate shocks such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves propagate through global food trade networks and how human decision-making under uncertainty can amplify...

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter in Mathematics and Statistics focused on marine heatwaves , climate science , statistics , data science , and mathematical modelling . The project investigates how extreme sea temperatures vary across space and depth in the northwest European Shelf seas, and how the probability and intensity of marine heatwaves may change under future climate scenarios. The research combines extreme value theory , generalised additive models , machine learning, and hig...
