PhD in Drivers and Consequences of Recent Changes in Bird Migration University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in Environmental Science, Ecology, and Remote Sensing at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) in collaboration with Utrecht University. The project, Reading Ecosystems from Space: Hyperspectral earth observation for understanding impacts of nitrogen deposition on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning , is part of the newly funded NWO ASCENT consortium. The PhD candidate will work on interdisciplinary research combining ecology, remote sensing, data science, and model...

PhD opportunity in Ecology / Environmental Remote Sensing at Duke University The Qiu Lab at Duke University is recruiting one fully funded PhD student to begin in Fall 2027 . The project sits at the intersection of ecology, environmental science, remote sensing, biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, statistics, and AI for Ecology . Research directions include: • Ecological remote sensing for forest and savanna ecosystems using imaging spectroscopy, LiDAR, and satellite time series. • Biodiversity...

PhD opportunity at the University of Exeter in Mathematics and Statistics on whether forests are becoming more vulnerable to climate extremes . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and combines satellite data analysis , statistical risk modelling , climate science , ecology , environmental science , and mathematical modelling . The research will use decades of satellite records of forest photosynthesis and carbon stocks to study how forests respond to heatwaves and droughts, how quickly they ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds on Prioritising Conservation Planning Amid Climate Uncertainty . This project sits within the UNRISK CDT and focuses on how to prioritise habitats for conservation when decisions must account for biodiversity loss , climate change , and uncertainty in ecological and climate data. The research combines ecology , climate science , data science , mathematical modelling , and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to build an adaptive framework for conserv...

Emily Lines, Associate Professor at the University of Cambridge and UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, is inviting applications for PhD supervision. The research sits at the intersection of forest ecology , remote sensing , and data science , with project ideas including low-cost terrestrial lidar for forest monitoring , sensing diversity in three dimensions , and three-dimensional foundation models of forests . Applicants are also welcome to develop their own project ideas. This is a PhD opportunity r...
