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
Optimising wheat-fungal symbioses for enhanced nutrition and sustainability
The global challenge of meeting food demand, particularly under the pressures of climate change, necessitates the optimization of crop nutrient uptake while minimizing resource inputs. Read more
Fungal immunity: how do NLR genes allow fungi to navigate the microbial world?
The ability of an organism to distinguish between self and non-self and to mount an effective response is the foundation of a functional immune system. Read more
Exploring bacteria-mycorrhizal fungi-plant interactions regulating nutrient exchange
Plant-microbe interactions underpin crop production. Bacteria and fungi are implicated in improving plant health with recent research showing these microbes synergise to additively increase crop yields. Read more
CR2025_40: Life in mines: exploring and harnessing the hidden microbiology of mine tailings, a journey of discovery and restoration
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted by the Natural History Museum, London*. The climate emergency demands a fundamental shift in our energy supply but technologies achieving this require an increased demand in metals and consequent mining. 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
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
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
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.

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
ACCE+ DLA programme - EpiPlasticity: exploring the ecological and evolutionary significance of epigenetic defence plasticity
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
