PhD Studentship in Climate Action and Sustainable Development at Durham University Durham University in United Kingdom

This 36-month PhD project at the University of St Andrews investigates how atmospheric circulation responds to global warming and how those responses affect regional climate and weather extremes. The research will use a hierarchy of numerical climate simulations to study circulation across multiple scales, from global jet streams to regional thunderstorm systems. By analyzing multi-member ensembles and prescribed sea-surface-temperature experiments, the project will distinguish rapid adjustments...

EASTBIO PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in plant science, with a focus on how cereals make their skin: plant surface development, cuticle formation, epidermal cell differentiation, and stress resilience in barley. The project explores how land plants coordinate protective surface features such as the waxy cuticle, gas pores, and defensive epidermal structures. Using barley as the model system, the research will combine biochemical and molecular biology approaches with CRISPR-Cas gene...

Nottingham Trent University is offering a 2027 PhD studentship on Circular Cooking: Co-designing Food, Energy, and Resource Resilience with Nottingham Communities , as part of the Collaboratory Research Hub. The research will investigate how lower-income households experience food insecurity beyond access to food, including their ability to prepare, cook, store and preserve food. It will examine how housing conditions, kitchen size and configuration, ventilation, energy infrastructure, appliance...

The University of Glasgow is recruiting a postdoctoral Research Associate to contribute to GALLANT , a NERC strategic programme focused on coastal and estuarine climate change adaptation. The researcher will work as part of an interdisciplinary team examining adaptation challenges in coastal and estuarine settings. The programme brings together social science with flood modelling, environmental law, urban studies, and climate change adaptation policy and governance. This opportunity is suited to...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in Plant Ecophysiology and Genetics at the University of Essex , in collaboration with the Earlham Institute and Lion Seeds Ltd . The project is a CASE studentship focused on understanding how wild sea beet adapts to harsh coastal environments and how this natural variation can be used to improve stress resilience in cultivated sugar beet . The research combines field ecology , plant physiology , high-throughput phenotyping , and quantitative genetics . This is a str...
