PhD in Restoring Soil Health Through Biological, Chemical and Physical Process Interactions University of Leeds in United Kingdom

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...

PhD opportunity at the University of Sheffield in the ECOSOLUTIONS Doctoral Focal Award, focused on black carbon in upland and agricultural landscapes and its consequences for food production , soil health , and climate change mitigation . This interdisciplinary project examines how legacy chemical pollution and modern agricultural management interact in a rural post-industrial landscape in the Dearne Valley, South Yorkshire . The research will combine field surveying , soil sampling , laborator...

PhD opportunity at the University of Sheffield within the NERC-funded ECOSOLUTIONS Doctoral Focal Award . This project, supervised by Dr Ellie Harrison with Prof Jason Snape , Dr Amanda Porter , Prof Laura Carter , and Dr Ed Haynes , investigates the interactions between wastewater irrigation , pesticides , and the fate of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in agricultural fields. The research is interdisciplinary, linking microbiology , environmental chemistry , soil science , ecology , and policy-...

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 at Cranfield University in collaboration with The James Hutton Institute (Dundee) on legumes, nitrogen cycling, biological nitrogen fixation, regenerative agriculture, soil science, plant science, agronomy , and environmental science . The project asks how legume-derived nitrogen moves through soils and crop rotations, and how this knowledge can improve nitrogen-use efficiency and fertiliser recommendations for subsequent crops. The student will work with field exper...
