PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences – The hydroecology of glacial demise
This project will focus on modelling the ecological impact of glacial melt. Climate warming is melting glaciers at unprecedented rates, however the ecological consequences of this are largely unknown. Read more
Forests in a changing environment: A study of nitrogen cycle feedbacks
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. Novel research to describe forest nitrogen cycle dynamics in response to global change. Access to one of the most extensively characterised ancient woodlands in the UK, facilitating opportunities for wider collaboration in forest ecology research. Read more

Using an interdisciplinary approach to elucidate pollution impacts and antimicrobial resistant pathogen dynamics across terrestrial, estuarine and marine environments
Project Description. The impact of environmental change on pathogen dynamics and AMR evolution from catchment to coast. Coastal environments are particularly vulnerable to chemical and microbial pollution that impact ecosystem services and human health. Read more
Biosynthesis, Self-Assembly and Engineering of bacterial organelles
Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed. 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
Climate change & ecosystem health: Microbial interactions and its impact on methane flux in lake ecosystems
Methane is next only to CO2 as a greenhouse gas and its atmospheric concentrations has increased 2.5-fold since preindustrial times. Read more
PhD position in the Restoration of Soil Microbial and Invertebrate Biodiversity in Urban Greenspaces
Exposure to soil biodiversity in urban greenspaces can promote human and wildlife health by impacting their microbiomes. However, the development of soil biodiversity following aboveground restoration is poorly understood, as are the pathways through which people are exposed to this biodiversity. Read more

Comparative genomics of insects and their microbiomes to explain feeding ecology dynamics
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. Read more
PhD Studentship: Exploiting viral ecology to combat problem organisms in biological wastewater treatment
Overview. In nature, viruses drive bacterial abundance, activity, and community composition. they are responsible for up to 100% of bacterial mortality every day, severely affecting ecosystem function. Read more
Evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions
Proposed Start Date. September 2022. The body is home to trillions of microbes. There has been a surge of interest on the effects of these microbes on host health, often as agents of infectious disease. Read more

Immunogenetics and the carriage of meningococcal bacteria
This project is available through the MIBTP programme. The successful applicant will join the MIBTP cohort and will take part in all of the training offered by the programme. 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
