Harnessing the power of plant social interactions to breed better rice
Applications are invited for a fully funded, 42 month PhD studentship commencing in October 2022 at the University of Aberdeen, as part of The newly established. Read more
The costs and consequences of antimicrobial resistance in microbial communities
Applicants are invited for a fully funded PhD position in the group of Dr Andrew Letten at the University of Queensland to study resource competition and antibiotic resistance in microbial communities. Read more
Mapping ancient biomolecule degradation through omics methods
The University of Manchester faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health (. https://www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/. ) is offering a unique self-funded PhD studentship in mapping ancient biomolecule degradation using omics techniques. The KNH Centre of Biomedical Egyptology at the University of Manchester (. Read more
Epigenetic mechanisms of phenotypic plasticity and the evolution of adaptive responses
We now live in a world of rapidly changing environmental conditions where species will need to adapt or perish. While populations may evolve in response to environmental change, more rapid responses may happen through processes like phenotypic plasticity. Read more

Sex and Reproduction During the Evolution of Apes
. Reproduction is the prime imperative for species and even helps define life itself. For humans, reproductive biology, mating behaviours, and parenting overlap in profound and complex ways throughout our lives. Read more
Breaking bad: Evolution by loss-of-function
Paradoxically, the first step adaptation to a new environment often involves losing genes, rather than gaining new ones—a phenomenon observed across the tree of life. Read more
Modelling the effect of quorum sensing in fluid flow on biofilm function
Research Group:
Ecology and Evolution
We need to understand microbial communities, whether in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) or their key role in global carbon cycling. Read more
The evolution of antimicrobial resistance in human infections
Antibiotics are our main defence against bacterial infections, but rising levels of resistance risks rendering antibiotics ineffective. Read more
Building a barrier to arsenic accumulation in rice
Applications are invited for a fully funded, 42 month PhD studentship commencing in October 2022 at the University of Aberdeen, as part of The newly established. Read more
Evolution of ecological and species diversity in freshwater fishes
Ecological, morphological and evolutionary diversification among sympatric individuals often reflects divergent selective pressures along environmental gradients. Read more
Combining Synthetic Biology and Modelling to Understand and Predict Evolution
Mutations, and their effects on organismal fitness, lie at the heart of understanding and predicting evolution. Because of its central role in determining evolutionary outcomes, much experimental and theoretical effort has been put into describing the fitness effects of mutations. Read more
4 year fully-funded PhD on: Understanding the role of diversity in picornavirus biology and pathogenesis
* IMPORTANT. due to a large number of applicants, we will only email those that are selected for the second round. Background. RNA viruses have the highest mutation rates in nature. Read more
Experimental approaches to the evolution of anisogamy in a single celled alga
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
We are looking for a talented student to conduct their PhD on the evolutionary biology of anisogamy. Anisogamy is the difference in size between male and female gametes and is the driver of sexual selection and the evolution of the sexes. Read more
