Harper Adams University is advertising two PhD projects in insect behaviour and sustainable pest management through the BBSRC-funded Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP) , with a start date in October 2027 . The first project, Who chooses the mummy’s microclimate? , asks whether a developing parasitoid wasp can influence where its aphid host moves. It combines behavioural tracking and microclimate experiments to test whether these movements improve parasitoid survival un...

PhD opportunity: Engineering gene drives for pest insect suppression at the University of East Anglia (School of Biological Sciences), with primary supervision by Professor Tracey Chapman . This project focuses on gene drives , CRISPR , genetic engineering , genetics , and agricultural pest suppression . The target organism is the Mediterranean fruitfly (medfly), a major global agricultural pest. The research aims to build, test, and optimise components needed to move gene-drive technology close...
