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
CR2025_07: Secondary metabolic gene evolution in the industrially important fungi
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at Swansea University*. Where will the next generation of biotherapeutics come from? Why have certain secondary metabolic pathways evolved in some fungi and not in others? How do environmental factors drive secondary metabolic diversity and production?. Read more

Funded PhD SWBio DTP- The role of endophytic entomopathogenic fungi on pest-host-parasitoid interactions: a chemical ecology perspective
Host institution. Rothamsted Research (Harpenden) Submit applications to this project to University of Bristol. Project description. Read more
MSc by Research / PhD: Farm to food to AMR: How do agriculture and food preservation practices affect fungal antimicrobial resistance?
The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. 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
ACCE+ DLA programme: Wild solutions: unlocking the potential of native grass microbiomes to boost crop resilience to environmental stress
Project Overview. As climate change, modern agriculture, and land-use changes continue to degrade soil health and threaten global food security, there is an urgent need for sustainable solutions. Read more
Unravelling the global microbiome of crop plants to improve sustainability and food security
Plants live in close association with complex communities of microbes which together constitute their ‘microbiome’. The microbiome interacts with the plant in numerous ways; some microbes are beneficial and promote plant growth, while others are pathogens which reduce crop yields. Read more
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

SWBio DTP: MycoPlexed: Multiplex mycotoxin biosensors for improved food security and One Health surveillance
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the South West Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership (SWBio DTP). Read more
Predicting fungicide resistance evolution: combining theoretical and experimental approaches (Ref: CTP-SAI-085)
The predictability of evolution by natural selection is one of the big questions in evolutionary biology. It also has enormous practical importance in crop protection. Read more
Development of effective phage cocktails for precise crop protection measures
Crop production plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security and maintaining economic stability, especially with the global population projected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, necessitating a 70% increase in food production. Read more
Future crop protection: Precision application of biopesticides
Crop pests are a major constraint on agricultural production, resulting in significant losses of yield and crop quality. Read more
