  Why does C4 photosynthesis rarely evolve in trees?
Lancaster University Lancaster Environment Centre
  Dr M Lundgren
Application Deadline: 27 January 2019
C4 photosynthesis is an ultra-efficient mode plant physiology that is used by our most productive food and bioenergy crops, including maize, sugarcane, and miscanthus.

  Investigating Photosynthesis in Nannochloropsis – An Important Algal Genus for Biofuel Production
University of Sheffield Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology
  Dr D J Gilmour
Applications accepted all year round
One of the key insights from phylogenetic studies of eukaryotic microorganisms is the enormous diversity within the microalgal group with green algae being similar to plants and other groups such as diatoms being very different.

  Evolution and biochemistry of photosynthesis - electron transfer reactions, renewable energy production, biotechnology, and chloroplast genomes
University of Cambridge Department of Biochemistry
  Prof C J Howe
Applications accepted all year round
The common theme of our work is the biochemistry and evolution of photosynthesis.

  Engineering The Rice Leaf for Improved Photosynthesis
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Prof A Fleming
Applications accepted all year round
Improving photosynthetic efficiency has been identified as one of the few remaining traits for exploitation if we are to achieve the significant increases in crop yield required to feed the projected 9 billion world population by 2050.

  Biophysics of light-induced motility in microalgae
University of Warwick Department of Physics
  Dr M Polin
Applications accepted all year round
At a glance. The project focusses on the mechanisms by which motile microalgae (prominent e.g. within phytoplankton) sense, elaborate and respond to light.

  Toward Artificial Photosynthesis: understanding how porphyrin’s structure and environment influence the early electronic and nuclear dynamics
University of Sheffield Department of Chemistry
  Dr A Chauvet
Applications accepted all year round
The Sun represents an unlimited source of energy that can be harvested and ultimately converted to electricity. Solar energy is therefore the solution to not only depart from fossil fuels, but also to respond to the ever-increasing energy needs of our society.

  To determine if global N and P availability explains why most plant genomes are small, despite a huge range in angiosperm genome sizes
Queen Mary University of London School of Biological & Chemical Sciences
  Prof AR Leitch, Dr IJ Leitch
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Angiosperms (flowering plants) not only have the largest range in genome size (GS) for any comparable eukaryotic group, varying c.

  How does rising atmospheric CO2 change the productivity of crops and trees?
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Prof C P Osborne
Applications accepted all year round
Professor Colin Osborne, Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK. New research in the lab investigates how plant growth is controlled by the supply of carbon from photosynthesis (source strength) verses the demand for carbon in growing tissues (sink strength).
Details
Type/Funding
  Regulation of photosynthetic electron transfer by dynamic thylakoid membrane stacking
Gatsby Charitable Foundation Plant Sciences
  Dr M Johnson
Application Deadline: 20 January 2019
Photosynthetic efficiency has been demonstrated to be limiting factor for fertilised crop plants and manipulation of its regulation a proven a route to improve both yield and stress tolerance1.
