PhD Studentship: Virome Dynamics and Viral Discovery in Rehabilitated Bats Revealed by Longitudinal Metagenomics University of Essex in United Kingdom

PhD assistantship in moose population ecology at Trent University in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada . The project is part of a large, multi-year field study on the factors limiting and regulating moose populations in Ontario, with a strong focus on population dynamics , predator-prey dynamics , and variation in moose vital rates. The student will join a team working with GPS-collared moose, American black bears, wolves, and white-tailed deer, and will help assess cause-specific mortality and broa...

Earlham Institute in the UK is advertising 9 PhD studentships for an October 2027 start. The advertised research themes include plant gene regulation , genome language models , and fisheries pangenomics , making this a strong opportunity for students interested in the intersection of AI, biology, genomics, and computational life sciences . This is a PhD-level opening rather than a postdoctoral or master's call. The post does not provide detailed eligibility criteria, but the topics suggest a fit...

Competitively funded PhD opportunity at the University of Salford on the ecology and evolution of antimicrobial resistance in urban wildlife , with a specific focus on wild gulls and bacterial pathogens. The project will investigate how normally harmless bacterial strains in urban wildlife evolve pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance . The student will have opportunities for gull fieldwork, but the project will primarily involve lab work , sequencing , and bioinformatics , so experience in the...

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...

Boston University’s Ecological Forecasting Lab is advertising two postdoctoral positions with Michael Dietze. The roles are aimed at researchers in ecology and environmental science who want to strengthen and apply quantitative , computational , and statistical methods to real-world problems. The post highlights an opportunity for candidates who enjoy ecological forecasting and data-driven research. The lab environment is described as a strong fit for someone looking to build skills in modeling,...
