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

Understanding the potential soil carbon benefits of agroforestry
Globally forest and woodland creation is being used to meet net zero greenhouse gas emission targets. To increase the terrestrial carbon sink in the UK, the government is aiming to increase forest and woodland cover from 13% to 17-20% by 2050 with Scotland aiming for 21% forest/woodland cover by 2032.

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
CR2025_47: Nutrient Impacts and Microbiochemical Controls on Carbon Storage in Forest Soils
Temperate forests and woodlands play a vital role in storing carbon, much of which is held in the soil. This natural carbon storage helps to offset the effects of climate change. 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
CR2025_34: Agroforestry solutions: harnessing trees for climate resilience and food security
Global food security is threatened by intensifying climate change, with UK food production already severely affected1. Conventional farming practices (e.g. Read more
CR2025_29: Remote Sensing of Solar Induced Fluorescence in Forests
Observations of Solar Induced Fluorescence (SIF) are the first direct measurement of the process of photosynthesis that can be made from remote instruments, including satellites and aircraft. Read more
CR2025_26: Impacts of light pollution, and other drivers, on UK moth communities and associated plant pollination
Moths are under-researched organisms within the wider pollinator community and their role as crop and wildflower pollinators has recently been revealed to be much greater than previously thought (Potts et al. Read more
CR2025_24: Keeping pace with climate change: facilitating species dispersal through productive landscapes.
Protecting biodiversity underpins our ability to mitigate and adapt to climate change. The UK is one of the most biodiversity-depleted countries1, primarily due to land-use change (e.g. Read more
Modelling landscape-level approaches for mitigating the evolution of pesticide resistance
Food security is a global challenge reflected across two United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 2 & 3). One critical component to meeting this challenge is the management of agricultural pests. Read more
The Inside Story: Exploring and exploiting the cabbage stem flea beetle endosymbiont microbiome as a potential means of crop protection. BBSRC SWBio DTP PhD studentship 2025 Entry
Supervisors. Lead Supervisor. Dr David Withall (Rothamsted Research). Additional Supervisors. Professor Chris Bass (University of Exeter), Ian Clark (Rothamsted Research), Dr Bram Kuijper (University of Exeter), Dr Godfrey Apangu (Rothamsted Research). Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: The role of air pollution and climate change in achieving UK woodland carbon sequestration targets
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
Funded PhD - Wound Entry and Vascular Immunity: How Bacterial Plant Pathogens Enter and Colonise Plants Through Wounds
Wounding of plants by environmental stresses such as wind, rain, or sandstorms creates entry points for bacterial pathogens, which exploit these wounds to infect plants, spread through vascular tissues, and suppress immunity. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: The role of mycorrhizal fungi in tree species coexistence under global change
Background. Biodiversity is declining across the globe, with accompanying changes in species composition. Changes in the diversity and composition of aboveground and belowground communities, as well as their interactions, can profoundly influence the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Read more
