Modelling animal perception of camouflaged prey using artificial observers
Background. Animals display a remarkable diversity of colouration, a topic that has fascinated scientists since Darwin and Wallace. Read more
Bioaerosol monitors for building control systems
Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship starting in Autumn 2025 as part of the EPSRC CDT in Aerosol Science. Project description. Read more
Nurture versus nature in locusts – can we control their swarming behaviour?
Are you interested in animal behaviour, and its physiological control? Would you like to perform research that could inform new agricultural practices? Then this is the PhD for you!. Read more
Funded PhD NERC GW4+ DLTP - Using fitness landscapes to learn how species persist in diverse fish communities
Much of modern biological diversity rests within communities of closely related species. Biologists believe that high diversity is maintained because species partition limited ecological resources between them, thereby limiting competition and avoiding extinction. Read more

Harnessing symbionts for control of vector borne disease in agriculture
Insects vector globally important diseases in agriculture, posing significant economic burdens and threatening food security. Virus transmission by sap-sucking insects account for nearly half of all plant pathogens, leading to >£24 billion in global annual costs. Read more
University of Bath URSA Project: Development and Control of Soft Robots
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Super-resolution, quantum-enhanced sensing in biology
Microscopy allows direct imaging of cellular and sub-cellular processes in biology, and so is still a key tool in biological research. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage: Digital twin simulations of visual perception to explore animal camouflage
Background. The core challenge of understanding animal colouration is complex. animals exist in intricate ecosystems that interact differently with various observers, including predators, prey, potential mates and competitors1. Read more
EastBio: Identifying tissue signals that control cellular longevity
In this project, we will identify the tissue-derived signals that control cellular longevity. Understanding cellular longevity is important due to increased use of autologous cell therapies. Read more
EastBio: How RNA-binding proteins control fungal growth: an interdisciplinary data-rich approach.
Fungi control their growth to thrive in varied environments, and drive decay and recycling in ecosystems. Fungal pathogens are a major worldwide health burden, killing more people each year than malaria or tuberculosis. Read more
Understanding the mechanisms of crossover recombination control
Brief summary. The project aims to gain further mechanistic insight into meiotic crossover formation in plants. Importance of Research. Read more
Control and inhibition of virus replication
The Tuplin laboratory utilises a range of cutting-edge approaches to investigate how arboviruses - specifically Chikungunya, Dengue and Zika viruses - control replication and translation of their genomes through interactions between RNA structures, host cell proteins and non-coding RNA, and the potential of such RNA elements/interactions as novel therapeutic targets. Read more
Vortex flow predictions for stability and control of bluff bodies
This project will develop new methods for vortex flow prediction using advanced computational methods. . Read more
Plant Nematology
Introduction. The Plant Nematology Laboratory is an internationally recognised group working to understand the interactions between parasitic nematodes and their plant hosts. . Read more
Soft Robots with Integrated Sensing, On-Demand Therapy and AI-assisted Control
Supervisor. Dr Rujie Sun. This PhD project offers an exciting opportunity to pioneer advancements in healthcare technology through soft robotics, flexible electronics, and AI-assisted systems. Read more
