Immune system aging in European badgers: fitness consequences, evolution and implications (CASE), BBSRC SWBio DTP PhD studentship 2025
About. The BBSRC-funded SWBio DTP involves a partnership of world-renown universities, research institutes and industry, based mainly across the South West and Wales. Read more
Implications of wetland creation for mosquito-borne disease risk
Wetlands are crucial habitats for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem integrity. However, newly constructed wetlands could have implications for mosquito communities and disease risk by increasing habitat availability. Read more
Climate Change and Zoonotic Risk: Investigating Avian Influenza Dynamics
Background. Approximately 70% of emerging zoonotic diseases originate from wildlife (1). As the global temperature increases with climate change, the distributions and migration patterns of wild animals will also be altered, bringing them into closer contact with humans and domesticated animals (2, 3). Read more
Impacts of multiple stressors (pollutants and disease) on beavers in England
This project is part of the NERC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training, ECOWILD. For more details, and for a full list of projects offered under this programme, please visit: https://ecowild.site.hw.ac.uk/. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Environmental drivers of tick-borne pathogen exposure in southern African wildlife
Wildlife mass mortality events worldwide such as the elephant mortalities of 2020 highlight the importance of understanding how environmental factors influence patterns of exposure to pathogens and drive outbreaks of disease. Read more
Autoimmunity gone wild: understanding how environmental stress modifies genetic risk in the development of autoimmune disease across the life course in a novel wildlife model. 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
Disease transmission, mitigation and management scenarios in Afroalpine carnivores
Canid diseases are a particular and growing concern for the conservation of many wildlife populations, as free-ranging domestic dogs act increasingly as vectors of rabies and canine distemper viruses. Read more
Conservation (various projects)
Two funded DPhil scholarships are available, to be held in the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) at the Department of Biology. Read more
Ecology and behaviour of urban wildlife
The construction and development of urban areas is a relatively recent phenomenon. Urbanisation does, however, impose a range of advantages and disadvantages for biological organisms and which can bring them into conflict with humans. Read more

This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the Red-ALERT CDT for entry in September 2025. Overview of the Research. Read more
CASE Project: Revolutionising Early Detection of Crop Pathogenesis using AI-based analysis of digital Imagery.
This project will be undertaken in collaboration with Data Dynamics Ltd and includes a minimum 3-month placement based at the Industry Partner's premises. Read more
GW4+ DOCTORAL LANDSCAPE TRAINING PARTNERSHIP (DLTP): Phylogeography of Caribbean Herpetofauna
The Caribbean is a biodiversity hotspot with a high level of endemism. Read more
Impact of the microbial biodiversity and micro-ecological processes on the transmission and persistency of diseases in farms: a multidisciplinary, adaptive research approach.
Background. Soil microbiota is responsible for the health and maintenance of the ecosystems, creating the greatest biodiversity in the world. Read more
