The role of somatic (epi)genetic variation in tree genome adaptation for climate change resilience
· The project. Rationale. In plants, unlike animals, somatic DNA mutations can be directly transferred to progenies or to vegetatively propagated material. Read more
Epigenetic signatures in fungal host adaptation. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2024/25 Entry, PhD in Biosciences
About the GW4 BioMed2 Doctoral Training Partnership. The partnership brings together the Universities of Bath, Bristol, Cardiff (lead) and Exeter to develop the next generation of biomedical researchers. Read more
Climate change adaptation in construction organisations
The effects of climate change, including extreme weather conditions, temperature increases, and floods, are increasingly evident worldwide. Read more
Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities
Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more
The genomics of rapid adaptation in grasses
We invite applications for a PhD in the area of genomics and rapid adaptation in plants. Our research combines cutting-edge genomic techniques, comparative analyses and experimental approaches to understand how organisms adapt to their environment. Read more
Adaptation to environmental change in animals: ecology, evolution and genomics.
How are animals able to live in different environments, with different temperatures, energetic demands, diet, predators, parasites or pH? Thanks to advances in gene sequencing technology, we are in a remarkable period of discovery about the genomic basis of adaptation and how this depends on the intricacies of ecology and environment. Read more
Geographies of disaster risk, climate change adaptation and development
Enquiries and applications are invited for a PhD project on the geographies of disaster risk, climate change adaptation and development. Read more
Vegetation-based climate change adaptation measures for earth infrastructure
Climate change will affect the performance of existing earth infrastructure. Read more
Artificial Intelligence for climate-health mitigation and adaptation (NDORMS 2024/14)
The World Health Organisation recognises climate change as the greatest threat to human health. It affects social and environmental determinants of health and compounds underlying intersectional health inequalities. Read more
Behavioural adaptation to environmental change in birds and the implications for conservation
Contact. Dr Lyanne Brouwer. Lyanne.brouwer@jcu.edu.au. College of Science & Engineering. James Cook University, Townsville QLD 4811 Australia. Read more
Affective Adaptation in VR Exergaming [Self Funded Students Only]
Aim: . To develop VR exergames that are capable of providing optimal user experience by adapting themselves according to the user's affective state. . Read more
Climate-resilience and sustainability optimisation in transport infrastructure adaptation
The candidate may have any background in infrastructure and/or environmental engineering and will have an understanding of hazards, such as climate and/or human induced hazards and stressors. Read more
Evolution of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial microbiomes
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more
Protecting cells from mechanical stress: A novel role of cell-surface receptor LRP1 in extracellular matrix- nuclei communication.
University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease Department of Musculoskeletal Biology
Cellular adaptation to mechanical strain (mechano-adaptation) is increasingly understood to be conferred by Lamin intermediate filament proteins located within the nuclear lamina. Read more
Adaptive thermal comfort in office buildings: an Adaptive Predict Mean Vote model
In recent years, adaptive thermal comfort studies played a positive role in sustainability in buildings. The exploration of thermal adaptation in different regions, different types of buildings, and different demographic groups are the research trend internationally. Read more
