We have 44 Agricultural Sciences (soil) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
ACCE+ DLA programme: Invisible diversity in a changing world: How do soil microbes affect plant drought tolerance?
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
Determining AI-driven Soil Health Benchmarks for UK agricultural systems - PhD
This is an exciting NERC PhD opportunity in collaboration with NIAB and BGS to develop, test, and refine, soil health metrics that can offer actionable insights for sustainable land management. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - Resolving interactions between global change and soil microbiome function using metaproteomics
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
One Crop Health PhD Programme - Using environmental DNA to assess soil health bioindicators and their relationship to crop nutrition and production under different agricultural regimes
Background . Soil degradation and erosion is a worldwide problem. Intensive agriculture has depleted carbon and aggregates, causing drainage issues, flooding and nutrient loss, and, therefore, poor crop production. Read more
BARIToNE: Cover cropping for soil and crop resilience in a changing climate (Project code 25F)
Supervisors. Lead supervisor - Dr Kenneth Loades, James Hutton Institute. Additional supervisors - Dr Alison Karley, James Hutton Institute; Dr Hannah Cooper, University of Nottingham. Read more
Agroforestry trees for soil health, climate resilience, and food security
Co-supervision. Christopher McGurk (DEFRA). Climate change threatens global food security, with increasing droughts, heatwaves and heavy rainfall seriously impacting UK food production. Read more
BARIToNE: Regenerative Agriculture - Unveiling the Impact of Farmer Practices on Soil Health in Malting Barley Cultivation (Project code 25I)
Supervisors. Lead supervisor - Professor Sofie Sjogersten, University of Nottingham. Second supervisor - Dr Guillermina Mendiondo, University of Nottingham. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme - How does the spatial organisation of soil bacteria control agricultural greenhouse gas emissions?
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
CR2025_35: Unravelling how mycorrhizal and decomposer fungi in forest soils effect wood and litter decomposition and may mitigate climate change
Forest soils are part of the solutions to global climate change by sequestering carbon (C) to compensate for anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO. Read more
Grazing and rewilding: how do they affect biodiversity, carbon cycling and greenhouse gas emissions?
Background. Do you want to help us to understand how grazing and rewilding can provide better ecosystem services?. We are facing severe consequences due to climate change and biodiversity loss. Read more
Soil carbon balance in blanket peatland forests
PeatFor Project – Management of peatland forests for climate and biodiversity. In pristine or undrained conditions peatland are long-term sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO. Read more
Carbon sequestration from Agricultural soils from different Land-uses, Managements and Soil types (CALMS)
Agriculture dominates the Irish landscape, with ~60% of the total land area devoted to grass-based agriculture for beef and dairy production. Read more
Assessing efficient application and emission reduction from using low carbon footprint fertilisers in potato agronomy - PhD
This is an exciting 4-year PhD project funded by the BBSRC CTP Sustainable Agricultural Innovation and PepsiCo, this CTP studentship will provide an annual maintenance stipend of £19,237, fee support of £4,786, a research training support grant of £5,000 and conference and UK fieldwork expenses of £300. Read more
Assessing efficient application and emission reduction from using low carbon footprint fertilisers in potato agronomy (Ref: CTP-SAI-070)
With the price of mineral fertilisers increasing and the state of soil health decreasing, innovative solutions are needed to meet crop nutrient demands whilst ensuring that sufficient organic matter is conserved in the soil. Read more
