SCENARIO: Modelling microbial immigration at critical interfaces of urban and natural water environments (SC2023_20)
environments. Besides the chemical pollutants, microbial pollutants are continuously discharged from urban environment to natural environment. Read more
SCENARIO - Understanding freshwater ecosystem health from a microbial perspective (SC2023_38)
This project is based at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Wallingford. Freshwater environments are exposed to a variety of stressors that contribute to the decline of freshwater species, ecosystems, and the services they provide. Read more
Assessment of microbial community and antimicrobial resistance associated with microplastics in organic-waste and development of smart monitoring technologies for microplastics
Plastic pollution and in particular microplastics (< 5 mm) are a major problem across the globe, affecting oceans, freshwater, soil and organisms but also found in human blood, food and livestock. Read more
GREENCDT The impact of polyacrylamide radiolytic and microbial degradation products on the interim and long term storage of radwaste
Managing the radioactive waste inventory in the UK, is a £multibillion grand challenge. Polyacrylamide has been identified as a potential settling aid which can improve sludge settling operations in nuclear waste storage ponds on the Sellafield site, by flocculating a range of legacy fuel materials.

Microbial activity on glaciers and ice sheets: an integrated modelling and empirical approach.
Research Group:
Earth Surface Science
Glaciers and ice sheets are important microbe-dominated ecosystems, that are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change. Supraglacial (glacier surface) ecosystems contain organisms from all three domains of life, which drive carbon and nutrient cycling, and cause ice darkening, thus enhancing ice mass loss. Read more

PLANT SCIENCE CDT: Mechanistic understanding of plant-microbe interaction to solve the nitrogen use efficiency dilemma
Applications are invited for this exciting, fully-funded, 42 month PhD studentship at the University of Aberdeen. This project is part of the newly established Anthony & Margaret Johnston. Read more
Manipulating the plant phyllosphere microbiome for plant and environmental health.
Healthy plants, like all higher organisms, host an extensive commensal microbial community or microbiome. Non-pathogenic microbes in many cases benefit the host. Read more
Competition and cooperation relationships within human microbial communities.
Typical studies of the human microbiome identify dysbiosis by sampling from healthy individuals, comparing them to individuals with a particular disease state, and reporting changes in the presence and/or abundance of bacterial species. Read more

Microbial and MEtabolite-based indicators for Soil Health (MMeSH).
An exciting opportunity for two PhD candidates to join a multidisciplinary international team led by Atlantic Technological University, Sligo to conduct research in the area of soil health, metabolomics and metagenomics. Read more
Rational microbial-based interventions against bacterial enteric diseases in young livestock.
Neonatal calves and piglets are susceptible to a range of enteric bacterial infections including neonatal scour caused by Salmonella spp. Read more
Precious metal biorecovery using microbial factory
Each year millions of tonnes of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) are generated in the EU, but only 30% is reported as properly collected and recycled, while the majority ends up in landfill. Read more
