PhD in Marine Mammal Ecotoxicology, Comparative Genomics and Selenium/Mercury Biology University of Aberdeen in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Sheffield within the ECOSOLUTIONS Doctoral Focal Award , focused on leveraging behavioural change to reduce urban pollution . The project is supervised by Dr Karl Evans , Prof Tom Webb , Dr Erin Corbett , and Dr John Wilkinson , and is part of a NERC-funded, transdisciplinary programme addressing sustainable chemical development and non-toxic environments. This PhD examines how residents’ domestic behaviours contribute to the release of polluting chemicals in...

PhD opportunity for UK students at the University of York in a project on reducing chemical pollution through future farming systems . The advertised project is titled “Understanding consumers’ responses to underutilized crops and implications for the environment” and is associated with Eleanor Jew . This is a research-focused doctoral opening spanning environmental science , agriculture , and chemistry , with additional relevance to crop systems, consumer responses, and sustainability in farmin...

More PhD opportunities are available in agri-relevant disciplines , including one linked to the poster’s own research theme. The opportunity is part of a fully funded dual scheme involving Nottingham Trent University and University of Nottingham . The highlighted theme is “Nitro-gen(eration): Attaining Resilient Fertilizers for Sustainable Food Production” , co-led by Katalin Kovács (University of Nottingham) and Andy Gill (Nottingham Trent University). This suggests research at the intersection...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in genomic signatures underlying functional diversity in root symbiotic fungi at the Earlham Institute , co-supervised with researchers at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew . The project focuses on ectomycorrhizal fungi and how they trade nutrients with tree roots, with research spanning fungal genomics , comparative genomics , transcriptomics , microbiology , and environmental science . The student will investigate copy number variation in ecologically relevant genes, diff...

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...
