CSC studentship: The Roles of microRNA in the Evolution of Bats and Mammals
Natural selection has been a pivotal force driving the rich diversity of mammals. They display a remarkable spectrum of phenotypical, physiological and behavioural adaptations that span from terrestrial creatures to aquatic species like whales, to the only flying mammals - bats. Read more
Distribution, range and ecological impacts of non-native small mammals
START DATE 01 OCTOBER 2025. This 3-year PhD will assess the distribution, range, abundance and ecological impacts of non-native small mammals in Northern Ireland focusing on the bank vole, field vole and potentially greater white-toothed shrew. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Social influences on fertility in group-living small mammals
Background. Social competition for limited resources among group-living animals can lead to inhibition of fertility or reproductive suppression, particularly in less competitive individuals that may experience heightened levels of stress. Read more
Acoustics, marine mammals and canyons: using underwater sound to monitor dynamic marine environments
Project Overview. Sound can be used to understand ocean biophony, geophony and anthropogenic processes and their interactions. Read more
GW4+ DOCTORAL LANDSCAPE TRAINING PARTNERSHIP (DLTP): Unravelling evolutionary uncertainty in African mammals: genomic insights into conservation and biogeographical patterns
The history of taxonomic uncertainty in African mammals has had long-term and widespread implications for conservation in the region. Read more
P7 - Investigating Retinal Regeneration Mechanisms Using Spatial Transcriptomics and Super-Resolution Imaging
The Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona, Spain, and BGI, China, are recruiting students to join the CRG-BGI Joint… Read more
Investigating how chromatin guides de novo DNA methylation
DNA methylation is the most common epigenetic mark found in mammals and is associated with gene repression. It is catalysed by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and dysregulation can cause developmental diseases and cancers. Read more
Evaluating the potential consequences of climate heating for Caspian seals and ecosystem services in the Caspian Sea
Marine mammals are keystone species for marine ecosystems. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Uncovering natural and anthropic factors that affect the eco-epidemiology of Leishmania pathogens transmission in the Amazon
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
(Bicentenary) Understanding the impact of postnatal light environment on circadian clock development and function in adulthood
Circadian rhythms are a fundamental feature of life. In mammals, these ~24h rhythms are endogenously generated by a brain clock within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) that critically synchronises body functions to the prevailing light-dark cycle. Read more
Oiling the wheels of the lipid economy: discovering mechanisms for lipid trading through membrane contact sites in plants and animals. BBSRC SWBio DTP PhD studentship 2025 Entry
Up to 34 fully-funded 4-year PhD studentships* available to start in September 2025, across a wide range of bioscience disciplines. Read more
Biogeography of the southern Indian Ocean higher predator community
Project overview. Numerous seabird and marine mammal species occur in the subtropical and subantarctic zones of the southern Indian Ocean. Read more
Continuous automated monitoring and prediction of the impact of climate change on ocean biodiversity
Tracking the location and presence of fish and marine mammals is necessary for both scientific study and conservation. The objective of this research is training integrated ML models with images, acoustics and text to answer questions about the diversity and abundance of life below water in monitored regions at scale. Read more
Regulation of apoptosis-induced compensatory cell proliferation and its implications for cancer and tissue regeneration
In multi-cellular organisms, coordinated cell death (e.g. apoptosis) and cell replacement is critical for tissue recovery in response to stress or damage. Read more
BBSRC MIBTP: How Cell Death Fuels Growth
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Apoptosis, a major form of programmed cell death, is frequently activated in response to stress to remove damaged cells in multi-cellular organisms. Read more
