PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia (School of Environmental Sciences) on drivers and consequences of recent changes in bird migration . This project investigates how and why migratory birds are changing their behaviour, including reductions in migratory distance, shifts in timing, and cases where individuals become sedentary. The research combines ecology , animal movement , remote sensing , data science , and zoology , with a strong conservation focus. Research themes and methods:...

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...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in soil carbon, soil health, microbiology, and landscape transition . This funded CASE PhD project, supervised by Prof Brian Reid in the School of Environmental Sciences , builds on the UKRI OpenLAND project to investigate how nature-based solutions and land-use change affect soil carbon stocks , carbon stability , and soil microbiome responses . The research combines field and laboratory work, including dry combustion, thermogravimetric analysis,...

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in Coventry, United Kingdom, focused on influenza evolution, antigenic escape, vaccine design, machine learning, virology, and computational biology . The project, titled “Outsmarting influenza evolution: predicting antigenic escape for better vaccines,” is part of the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership and is supervised by Dr Craig Thompson and Dr Alexander Baker . It investigates how influenza A viruses evolve changes in haemagglu...
