Evaluation of properties of wood pellets for Bioenergy and Carbon Capture and Storage Application

The current state of the art for utilisation of wood pellets is co-firing and the co-generation of biomass combustion products. The safe and effective storage, transportation and processing of wood pellets is then highly important for bioenergy applications. Read more

Correlative Multimodal X-ray Microscopy for Life Science Applications

Applications are invited for a fully-funded three year PhD to commence in April 2024. . The PhD will be based in the School of Mechanical and Design Engineering, and will be supervised by Dr Jovana Radulovic and Dr Charles Wood. Read more

Can a tree remember a drought? Understanding the mechanisms of tree memory (CENTA 2024-B6)

Trees are long living, sessile organisms that represent a fundamental component of most of earth ecosystems. Being immobile during their life, trees need to efficiently adapt to changes of environment and to stresses, in order to reach maturity and reproduction. Read more

The Environmental Drivers of DNA methylation and Senescence: An Experimental Test in Wild Mice

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. Why do we senesce? Lifestyle appears to accelerate the ageing process in humans, but we know much less about the stressors that cause age-related declines in wild animals. Read more

The causes and consequences of heterogeneity in parasite infection and transmission potential

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. Despite on-going concerns about emerging disease threats, we don’t understand what factors drive heterogeneities in parasite burdens, disease, or how to control infections in variable host populations. Read more

NERC E4 The Environmental Drivers of DNA methylation and Senescence: An Experimental Test in Wild Mice

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. Why do we senesce? Lifestyle appears to accelerate the ageing process in humans, but we know much less about the stressors that cause age-related declines in wild animals. Read more

NERC E4 It’s about time! Ecology and evolution of circadian and seasonal rhythms in host-parasite interactions

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. In adverse circumstances – such as infections and resource limitation - daily rhythms are often disrupted. The project will investigate to what degree this an adaptive (fitness maximising) strategy. Read more

NERC E4 The causes and consequences of heterogeneity in parasite infection and transmission potential

  Research Group: Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Summary. Despite on-going concerns about emerging disease threats, we don’t understand what factors drive heterogeneities in parasite burdens, disease, or how to control infections in variable host populations. Read more

Alternative Materials and Processes for the Textile and Fashion Industry

The fashion and textile industries conduct some of the most polluting practices on the planet. Many initiatives are striving to positively impact the issues the industry faces, in line with climate targets and UN sustainable development goals. . Read more
