PhD Opportunity in Aquatic Science, Water Quality, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functions in Reservoirs University of Leeds in United Kingdom

Fully funded PhD project at the University of Southampton on the macroevolution of seastars , with a focus on deep-sea echinoderms , biodiversity patterns, and evolutionary history in marine systems. The project uses a multidisciplinary approach combining phylogenomics , taxonomy , biogeography , comparative phylogenetics, and high-resolution imaging. The student will work with recently collected samples as well as historical material from the Natural History Museum and the Discovery Collections...

University College London is hiring an 18-month postdoctoral Research Fellow for the 3DTreePrint project, focused on democratising and scaling mobile laser scanning for monitoring trees and forests. The role is strongly application-oriented and centers on the processing side of the project. The successful candidate will work with forest point clouds (TLS/MLS), SLAM , and programming in Python or C++ . The project uses low-cost prototypes based on the Livox mid360 LiDAR and is connected to relate...

Marion Pfeifer, Professor in Forest Landscape Restoration at Newcastle University, is recruiting two fully funded PhD students for the ERC Advanced Investigator Grant project TIF-CER: From Forests to Fields to Sustainable Rural Landscapes: A Multiscale Framework for Quantifying Biodiversity and Climate Interrelationships . The two PhD projects are based in the TROPS lab at Newcastle University and focus on: - Mechanisms driving water use in tree-based agricultural systems - Wildlife connectivity...

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...
