Agricultural Sciences (development) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 22 Agricultural Sciences (development) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Pharmaceutical process development, optimization and scale-up of plant-based cancer drugs

Project - We are pleased to announce an exciting PhD opportunity within our ground-breaking project dedicated to the optimization of extraction and purification processes of plant-derived molecules, with potential applications in cancer treatment as a collaborative effort with the South Australian immunoGENomics Cancer Institute.

Epigenetic profiling of cereal fungal invaders. (SAUNDERS_J24DTP1)

Wheat blast and rusts are fungal diseases that severely damage cereal production worldwide. During infection, these fungi secrete proteins into wheat plants to reprogramme host plant circuitry, supporting their own growth and development. Read more

Mitigating the impact of environmental stress on the quality and sustainability of malting barley

Climate change is challenging our ability to reliably grow crops. This PhD will be focused on the impact this is having on our capacity to produce a sustainable supply of malted barley for use within the brewing and distilling industries. Read more

Circular production of phosphorous fertiliser – anaerobic digestate matrix effects on recovery efficacy

Introduction to research area. The application of animal slurries and anaerobic digestates to land to provide crop nutrients is facing ever increasing regulatory constraints influencing how they are stored and spread to land. Read more

Self funded PhD in Biology: Novel approaches for valorisation of seaweed biomass

Lead Supervisor. Dr T Tonon (Department of Biology). Co-Supervisor. Dr Leonardo Gomez (Department of Biology). Context. Seaweeds are crucial to maintain biodiversity in coastal environments and to support livelihood of some coastal communities. Read more

Doctoral (PhD) position - impact of biocontrol agents on diseases of ryegrass

Irish agriculture is mainly grassland-based, and is key to the success of the dairy, beef, and sheep sectors. The Irish Climate Action Plan, the EU Green Deal, and the EU Farm to Fork strategy has placed ambitious reduction targets for the use of chemical inputs in the form of fertilisers and pesticides in grasslands. Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: Impact of the microbial biodiversity and micro-ecological processes on the transmission and persistency of diseases in dairy farms: a multidisciplinary, adaptive research approach

Soil provides the basic structure for the development of the ecosystem where humans and animals live. Soil microbiota, including different pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms, are responsible for the health and maintenance of the ecosystem, creating the greatest biodiversity in the world.

Self-funded MSc R- Sublethal effects of novel insecticides on a beneficial parasitoid wasp and the implications for biological control

Broad-spectrum chemical insecticides such as neonicotinoids are a major cause of beneficial insect declines globally. In response to this, bans and restrictions on neonicotinoid use have been implemented on a global scale in an attempt to reverse trends in insect biodiversity loss. Read more
