PhD Opportunity - Synthetic biology for enhancing crop water use efficiency
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline & aim. Stomata are pores that provide for gaseous exchange across the impermeable cuticle of leaves. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Understanding coordination of DNA replication initiation in the African trypanosome
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Summary. DNA replication is a central cellular reaction, necessary for genome transmission and the propagation of life. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Mechanics of multifactorial stress responses in plants – How do abiotic stress signals integrate with pathogen immunity?
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Plants have the innate ability to respond to pathogens together with multiple abiotic stress challenges, but such responses often come at a cost to plant productivity and water use. Read more
Funded PhD SWBio DTP *AP- Developmental specificity of subcellular dynamic responses to Colletotrichum higginsianum infection of Arabidopsis thaliana
Project description. Pathogens are responsible for reducing global crop yields of major crops by around 20% annually. Read more
Funded PhD SWBio DTP- Closing the Door: Understanding the Role of cGMP Signalling in Plant Immune Defence Against Pathogen Entry
Stomata, the pores on leaf surfaces, are vital for regulating CO2 uptake and water loss, playing a key role in plant responses to environmental stresses. 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
'Guardians from the Grass’; Harnessing fungal endophytes to suppress plant parasitic nematodes of potatoes (Ref: CTP-SAI-081)
Globally, ca.374 million tons of potatoes are produced per annum, providing a staple food that is rich in carbohydrate, protein, fibre and vitamin C (FAO, 2024). Read more
PhD Opportunity - Examining novel CO2-sensing mechanisms in plants to improve water use efficiency
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Elevated carbon dioxide concentration in air is a major consequence of global climate change. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Engineering stomatal patterning in plants for enhanced water use efficiency
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Globally, agricultural fresh-water usage has increased 6-fold in the past 100 years, twice as fast as the human population, and is expected to double again before 2030, driven mainly by agriculture. Read more
