This PhD opportunity at Durham University investigates how global bird communities are changing under land-use and climate change. The project addresses an important challenge in biodiversity science: bird monitoring data are often unevenly distributed and may not represent environmental changes across the wider regions where monitoring takes place. The doctoral researcher will link bird survey time series from three continents with environmental change data. The work will assess whether monitor...

[For eligible students, the studentship covers home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend.] This PhD studentship at the University of Exeter focuses on how Amazon forest wildfire affects soil carbon cycling, with a particular emphasis on soil respiration, soil properties, and pyrogenic carbon (charcoal) in southern Amazonian soils. The project also explores how these field and experimental results can be used to improve the JULES land surface model , linking tropical soil processes with c...

About this position

[For eligible students, the studentship will cover home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend.]

This PhD studentship investigates how bee behaviour shapes pollination services in structurally diverse floral habitats. The project focuses on the way bees move through complex rural landscapes in Devon, where vertical barriers such as hedgerows can alter travel costs and change how pollinators access floral resources.

The research will combine behavioural observations, environmental data, and quantitative modelling to understand how bees navigate and forage in heterogeneous landscapes. A central aim is to identify species-specific trade-offs between navigation efficiency and pollination outcomes, improving understanding of resource partitioning among pollinators and the resilience of ecosystem services.

Devon’s hedgerow-rich countryside provides the setting for the project, offering biodiverse microhabitats and a natural testbed for studying how landscape structure influences pollination. The studentship is embedded in a collaborative team with complementary expertise in behaviour, ecology, remote sensing, computational work, and modelling, and offers access to ongoing collaborations with partners in Sheffield and Sussex.

Training includes field, experimental, and modelling approaches, supported by remote-sensing and spectral image analysis for habitat measurement, as well as new tracking methods for recording forager bee movement trajectories. The project is designed to build highly transferable quantitative, analytical, and field-based skills relevant to academic research and environmental, conservation, and land-management careers.
