  An experimental and macroecological investigation of precipitation effects on Arctic plant root traits
University of Nottingham School of Geography
  Dr F Schrodt
Application Deadline: 27 January 2019
The Arctic tundra is particularly exposed to climate change, with warming of up to 5°C measured during the 20th century, and substantial increases in precipitation predicted for the 21st century.

  Modelling plant trade networks and their response to plant diseases
University of Strathclyde Department of Mathematics & Statistics
  Prof A Kleczkowski
Applications accepted all year round
The dispersal of plant diseases is among the most important side effects of a closely integrated global economy. There are many examples of plant diseases that were introduced to the UK and other countries by trade, including Phytophthora ramorum, Dutch elm disease and ash dieback.

  The interactive effects of climate change and plant species invasion on plant and microbial trait diversity
Victoria University of Wellington Centre for Biodiversity and Restoration Ecology, School of Biological Sciences
  Dr J Deslippe
Applications accepted all year round
This PhD project addresses the interactive effects of climate change and plant species invasion on plant and microbial trait diversity and ecosystem processes along elevational gradients in Tongariro National Park, New Zealand, with a particular emphasis on mycorrhizas and plant root traits.

  Iron Homeostasis in Bacterial Plant Colonization and Disease
The James Hutton Institute Postgraduate Training
  Dr A Holmes, Dr N Holden, Prof S C Andrews
Application Deadline: 4 January 2019
Iron is an essential nutrient in all orders of life. Since uptake is hampered by insolubility, plants and bacteria have evolved mechanisms for active sequestration, through the secretion of chelators called siderophores, and uptake via transport mechanisms.
