PhD Studentship - Investigating Genetic Markers and Mechanisms of CO Dehydrogenase Regulation in Response to Atmospheric Mercury University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at The University of Edinburgh, School of GeoSciences in soil carbon change and fungal-bacterial mechanisms in tree-planted upland ecosystems . This project sits at the intersection of microbial ecology , environmental science , biology , and earth science , with a strong focus on climate and environmental sustainability. The post is supervised by Dr Lorna Street , with CASE partner Forest Research supervisors Dr Mike Perks and Dr Elena Vanguelova . The opportunity is funded by N...

Research Associate in Marine Biogeochemistry at Imperial College London , based at Silwood Park Campus (hybrid). This is a full-time, fixed-term research post for up to 2 years, funded by UKRI through Horizon Europe . The role sits within the OceanSOS project, an interdisciplinary international consortium studying how seamounts and the currents they generate influence the biological carbon pump and marine carbon cycling. The successful candidate will work on marine biogeochemistry , ocean carbon...

PhD opportunity in programmable DNA nanotechnology for the selective recovery of critical and rare elements at The University of Edinburgh . The project is jointly supervised by Davide Michieletto and Jason Love and explores how DNA nanostructures could enable more selective, reusable, and sustainable recovery of rare-earth elements and other rare and precious metals. These elements are important for electronics, permanent magnets, and low-carbon technologies, but their clean separation and recy...

PhD opportunity in wheat , soil microbiology , plant-microbe interactions , metabolomics , bioinformatics , and environmental microbiology at the John Innes Centre and the neighbouring Earlham Institute in Norwich, United Kingdom . This project investigates the plant “ cry-for-help ” effect in wheat: how roots respond to pathogen attack by changing metabolite secretion and recruiting beneficial soil microbes. The student will work with wheat split-root microcosms and microbial communities of var...
