Determining the optimal mix of forestry systems and reserves under differing wildfire regimes for improving plant conservation
How to meet human needs for timber while limiting harm to biodiversity is an urgent scientific goal. The aim of this Australian Research Council funded PhD project are. Read more
Spatio-temporal drivers of insect biodiversity and conservation
The School of Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. Read more
FULLY FUNDED - Characterizing the relationship between vertebrate diversity, abundance and pathogen dynamics among restored woodlands over a spatiotemporal gradient
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. The restoration of woodlands is an important tool for mitigating the effects of climate change and habitat loss. Read more
Quantifying and managing multi-taxon range shifts in marine reef ecosystems
This PhD project is a marine ecology project that will employ cutting-edge modelling and unique marine datasets to model range shifts of marine species under climate change and develop novel conservation mechanisms to manage them. Read more
Impacts of disease (chytridiomycosis) and environmental contaminants on wildlife conservation (amphibians)
Wildlife are in peril due to numerous threatening processes. Amphibians (especially frogs) are the most endangered Class of Vertebrates. Read more
Evaluating the potential consequences of climate heating for Caspian seals and ecosystem services in the Caspian Sea
The School of Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. Read more
Research opportunities in the Department of Archaeology
The Department of Archaeology at York is a vibrant research community and a centre of excellent research-led teaching. Read more
Environmental drivers and conservation status of Amazonian biodiversity
The Amazon plays a crucial role in international strategies to mitigate global climate and biodiversity crises. Amazonian ecosystems are among the world's most biodiverse and contribute to environmental services at multiple spatial scales. Read more
Understanding extinction risk in the Anthropocene
We live in a humanized world in which even the most remote areas have been affected by the actions of our species. Human impacts have caused a widespread loss of biodiversity, to the point that we have likely entered the sixth mass extinction event on Earth, the first primarily caused by humans. Read more
Structural and mechanistic studies of fibroblast growth factor receptor signalling
The School of Molecular and Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. Read more
MicroRNA genomics: evolution, expression and function
MicroRNAs are 22 nt single-stranded RNA molecules that modulate gene function primarily through translational repression. There are thousands of microRNA… Read more
Understanding Life in the Freezer: locomotor performance as the key to understanding the possible influences of climate change in high Arctic species
Scientific research has focused on the Arctic recently as this region is at high risk from the effects of climate change. However, a major challenge holds back our ability to understand the potential impacts of environmental change; our lack of knowledge about what animals do in the wild. Read more
Plant-microbe interaction reshuffling and its contributions to plant stress toleration and biogeochemical cycling
Global changes like climate and land use change pose a significant threat to biodiversity and ecosystem function, requiring multidisciplinary approaches to predict and mitigate the potential loss of the services they provide. Read more
Targeting ageing and neurodegenerative diseases using the fruit-fly Drosophila melanogaster
In the last 20 years the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster emerged as a pre-eminent model system for studying changes that occur during both normal and pathological ageing (~75 per cent of the genes that cause disease in humans are also found in the fruit fly!). Read more
Exploring the impact of microplastic-bacterial complexes on animal health and the gut microbiome
Plastic pollution is a global issue and rapidly emerging as a crisis for both environmental and human health. Read more
