The olfactory cocktail party: How animals and humans segregate mixed odours
University of Otago / University of Waikato. Three PhD Scholarships. The olfactory cocktail party. How animals and humans segregate mixed odours. Read more
How to design and develop animal technologies, including domesticated and zoo animals
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship at the University of Glasgow in Animal-Computer Interaction as part of the Glasgow Interactive System Section (GIST) for up to three years. 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.

Using molecular approaches to investigate the metabolic regulation of cetacean blubber tissue under different physiological challenges.
Threats to cetacean populations as a result of habitat degradation driven by human activities are of increasing conservation concern. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Assessing welfare consequences of feed restrictions in dairy cattle: short-term, long-term and sustainability perspectives
Although freedom from hunger is a key pillar of animal welfare, feed restrictions are common on most farms. For instance, on dairy farms, pre-weaned calves are typically fed less than 50% of ad libitum consumption (4-6L of milk when they would drink up to 16L[1]). Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: A multi-centre cluster randomized trial to improve antimicrobial stewardship in companion animals
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a priority of One Health worldwide.[1] One of the strategic objectives to reduce the development and impact of AMR is through antimicrobial stewardship. Read more
Uncovering anti-arrhythmic potential of stellate ganglion purinergic receptors.
Background. Cardiovascular disease affects over 30% of people worldwide, and is one of the leading causes of death each year. Elevated sympathetic nerve activity is a common feature of cardiovascular disease, contributing to end-organ damage, morbidity and mortality [1-3]. Read more
Physiological responses to anthropogenic noise
Anthropogenic noise has become a major global pollutant. Using state-of-the art phylogenetically controlled meta-analyses, we will quantify the effects of anthropogenic noise on physiological responses on animals. Read more
Design and Synthesis of novel analogues of Hipposudoric Acid for therapeutic use
Research into novel antimicrobial agents has never been more pressing with the ever-increasing resistance towards traditional medications. Read more
Development of Statistical Shape Model techniques for understanding rodent vision and behaviours.
Understanding rodent behaviour is a critical step in basic and preclinical research on conditions such as ocular diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety and depression. Read more
PhD Studentship: Royal Society Funded Studentship on Insect Biomechanics
The University of Lincoln is offering one fully funded PhD studentship in connection to a four-year Royal Society funded project on the biomechanics of small jumping insects. Read more
Fossil insights into the developmental evolution of animal bodyplans during the “Cambrian Explosion”
PROJECT TITLE. Fossil insights into the developmental evolution of animal bodyplans during the “Cambrian Explosion”. Lead Institution. Read more
Optimization and Validation of Portable Spectroscopic Device to Detect TBI in a Pre-clinical Animal Model
A PhD Studentship is available for a suitably qualified candidate to conduct research leading to the award of a PhD degree in the field of Chemical Engineering. Read more
Investigating the relationship between two unique apicomplexan parasite organelles: the Eimeria refractile body and Plasmodium crystalloid
Apicomplexan parasites are widespread protozoan parasites of animals. The phylum Apicomplexa contains thousands of species and includes major pathogens of humans, domestic animals and livestock. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Environmental DNA from Fasciola parasites as a novel biomarker to improve agriculture in the UK
Fasciola hepatica, usually termed "the temperate liver fluke", is found worldwide and causes disease known as fasciolosis. This infection caused by helminth parasites, primarily impacts on ruminant production, including within the UK and many other European countries. Read more
