PhD Opportunities in Agriculture in South Korea

The Comparative Biochemistry PhD is an interdisciplinary doctoral program administered by the Comparative Biochemistry Graduate Group at the University of California, Berkeley. The program is designed for students who want to investigate problems in the biological sciences using biochemical and molecular approaches. Research may span molecular and cell biology, chemistry, nutritional science and toxicology, plant and microbial biology, chemical engineering, environmental science, policy and mana...

This doctoral project is hosted at the Institute of Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC) on the CNRS campus at Gif-sur-Yvette, within a collaborative research network involving IJPB-INRAE (Versailles) and IGEPP-INRAE (Rennes) . The thesis focuses on how modifying vacuolar nitrate storage can alter nitrogen use efficiency , water use efficiency , and tolerance to water stress in Arabidopsis thaliana . The work centers on the nitrate transporter CLCa and asks how changing nitrate storage in diff...

Uppsala University is seeking a PhD student in plant evolution to join the Plant Ecology and Evolution program in the Department of Ecology and Genetics. The department is part of the Evolutionary Biology Center, an international research environment focused on fundamental and applied biological questions through an evolutionary perspective. The project, Convergent evolution in buzz-pollinated flowers , investigates how similar floral traits have evolved independently across plant lineages polli...

Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche is recruiting for a research contract within the Istituto per la Protezione Sostenibile delle Piante in Portici. The project sits in the scientific area of abiotic and biotic stresses linked to climate change and is centred on applied microbiology for the identification, isolation and functional characterisation of beneficial microorganisms for plants. The successful researcher will work on the microbial biodiversity of soils and organic matrices using microbio...

PhD project on convergent evolution in buzz-pollinated flowers at the Plant Ecology and Evolution program , Department of Ecology and Genetics, Uppsala University. This doctoral project examines how similar floral traits have evolved repeatedly across independent plant lineages in response to bee pollinators. The student will investigate buzz-pollinated flowers, a widespread example of convergent evolution, to compare similarity in floral form with similarity in function across several plant fam...

[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 the rapid return of Atlantic bluefin tuna to the North Sea and the management challenges that come with the re-emergence of an apex predator into ecosystems and coastal communities unfamiliar with it. The project asks how this species recovery should be understood in the context of ecosystem function, stock management, and wider rewilding ...

[Home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend for eligible students.] This PhD studentship investigates whether seagrass meadows can act as a natural defence against waterborne bacterial pathogens in coastal environments. The project asks whether Zostera marina can reduce pathogen abundance or persistence, whether its associated microbiome helps produce that effect, and how these relationships change under environmental change and episodic pollution. The research combines field observations...

[Home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend for eligible students.] This PhD studentship investigates how peatland restoration activities affect drought resilience and the reliability of water supplies under future climate pressures. The project addresses an important evidence gap around whether restoration can improve water storage, moderate hydrological response during drought, and support more resilient water-resource provision. The Doctoral Researcher will combine field monitoring wit...

[For eligible students, the studentship covers home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend.] This PhD studentship examines how detritivorous sea cucumbers could help reduce the build-up of excess organic waste from open and semi-open aquaculture pens. The project centres on the ecological and functional role of Holothuria scabra in processing uneaten feed and faeces, with the aim of supporting more sediment-safe and sustainable coastal aquaculture. The Doctoral Researcher will investigate ...
