We have 87 agricultural sciences PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
China Scholarship Council: Potato Disease Resistance: Harnessing Advanced Genomics and Genetics to Clone Functional Genes
Supervisors. Dr Ingo Hein, Division of Plant Sciences, Dr Amanpreet Kaur, Dr Thomas Adams (James Hutton Institute) . This PhD project offers a unique opportunity to explore the forefront of potato disease resistance research by leveraging cutting-edge genomic technologies. Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Genome editing enhanced myxobacterial predators for biological control of diverse crop pathogens
Pathogens have a huge impact on conventional agriculture by decreasing yield and increasing spoilage. They also threaten the security of alternative agricultural systems such as hydroponics/vertical farming/insect farming/cultured meat. Read more
Computer Science: Fully Funded EPSRC DTP PhD Scholarship: Vertical Multi-Purpose Farming Robotic System
Funding provider(s): . Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTP) and Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering. Read more
Integrative approach to valorise vegetable waste
The FAO estimates that around one third of all food produced worldwide is not consumed, which represents around 1.3 billion tons per year, and is wasted throughout the whole food chain, from farmers to consumers. Read more

Clear and sound: combining image analysis and bioacoustics to link pollinators traffic with fruit set and harvest
Insect pollinators provide fundamental ecosystem services to wild plants and commercial crops, promoting the transfer of pollen between flowers and across plants. Read more
Surfactant adsorption in dynamic environments: Application in agrochemical product formulation
Research Group:
School of Chemical and Process Engineering
The agrochemicals sector is worth over £2B to the UK economy. These speciality chemicals are manufactured and sold around the world to protect crops, improve soil fertility and increase crop yields; all three being critical to our ability to feed the growing global population. . Read more
The economics of sustainable farming on a community-owned farm
We are seeking 6 Leverhulme doctoral scholars for the second cohort of the "Sustainable Rural Futures Programme" (SURF) at Keele University. Read more
Mixed Field Neutron and Gamma Ray Sensors for Precision Farming
Precision agriculture, a data-driven approach to farming, relies on accurate and timely information about soil properties. Neutron and gamma ray sensing offers a non-destructive and in-situ method to measure soil moisture, density, and elemental composition. Read more

A study of microbially-derived biochar for high-value applications
Research Group:
Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Biochar is a biomass-derived solid carbon product which contains a high proportion of extremely stable carbon, and therefore sustainable production of biochar can be a significant, viable Negative Emissions Technology for mitigating human-induced climate change. Read more
Nanopore profiling of specialised ribosomes
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Recent evidence has shown that the composition of ribosomes is highly variable in terms of protein and rRNA. This altered composition can result in ‘specialised ribosomes’, which regulate the translation of specific pools of mRNAs. Read more

EASTBIO: Investigating mode of action and cellular impact of anti-bacterial effector toxins
Many species of bacteria use a contractile nanomachine called the Type VI secretion system (T6SS) to deliver a wide range of toxic proteins, known as ‘effectors’, directly into neighbouring cells. Read more
