About this position

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) in collaboration with Forest Research.

The project, titled Future-proofing British conifer forests, asks how forests can be made more resilient to Phytophthora ramorum, an important invasive tree pathogen. The research will investigate the biology, ecology, and evolution of this organism and will contribute to sustainable forestry and tree health.

This is an interdisciplinary PhD with training across plant pathology, microbiology, forestry, ecology, and genomics. The work includes fieldwork, experimental plant pathology, and genomic approaches, making it a strong fit for students interested in applied biological research with environmental impact.

The post is advertised as a fully funded PhD studentship. No deadline or detailed eligibility criteria were stated in the text provided, so applicants should review the official UWE Bristol studentship page for the latest information, entry requirements, and application instructions.

Prospective applicants should follow the application link in the post and use the university’s official recruitment page to confirm funding, supervision, and submission requirements.

Funding details
