Unlocking the role of environmental cues in phenological change
Are you an ecologist with a strong quantitative background, an interest in responses to climate change, prediction, and modelling? Then this project might be for you!. Read more
Monitoring Wildlife Using Sound and Other Methods
I have two PhD projects available at the moment. Read more
Breeding Better Biocontrols: Genomic approaches for strain improvement of hyphal-parasitic fungi
Fungal pathogens are responsible for up to 16% of global crop losses, acting both pre-harvest and post-harvest as well as through mycotoxin contamination. Read more
Urban gardens to improve health, biodiversity and climate-change resilience in cities in Bangladesh
Bangladesh has some of the most densely-populated cities facing overlapping risks of health, climate and urbanisation. Residents - particularly the poorest - have diets low in fresh vegetables and fruit, are subjected to hazardous levels of pollution, and have little or no access to green spaces. Read more

Marine habitat restoration for future resilience: biogenic reef restoration in sea loughs under a changing climate.
Understanding the optimal approach for seascape-level restoration, where targeted habitats, e.g. biogenic reefs, are restored to support biodiversity and associated ecosystem functioning and stability, is vital for the resilience of the marine ecosystems in general. Read more
Assessing the effects of forest diversification on floral reward production for pollinators
Nectar and pollen are the primary food source for pollinators, and their quantity and chemical composition are important determinants of pollinator behaviour and health. Read more
Molecular basis and ecological significance of Saccharomyces wine yeast interactions with microbes, plants and insects
This research involving Saccharomyces cerevisiae provides an excellent training that will equip the graduate with highly transferable skills, relevant in other ‘yeast’ labs or biological systems. Read more

Developing scalable measures of environmental outcomes
We are offering an exciting opportunity for PhD studies in developing scalable measures of environmental outcomes. More specifically, you will be involved in a MBIE Endeavour project “Kai anamata mō Aotearoa – exploring future food system scenarios and impacts”. Read more
Fully funded PhD position: Genomics informed animal breeding for climate resilience in aquaculture (based in New Zealand)
Project description. Climate change is increasingly impacting food production systems and industry needs to better prepare for future climate challenges. Read more
Geographic variation in pelagic–reef connectivity and implications for coral reef functioning
Supervisors. Dr James Robinson (LEC). Prof Nick Graham (LEC). Dr Casey Benkwitt (LEC). Prof Simon Brandl (UT). . Project Description. Read more
MRes - Minimising inter-observer variability in cover estimates of sessile organisms (SAS0204)
The abundance of clonal organisms (plants, lichens, corals and sessile benthic organisms) is difficult or impossible to measure by counts of individuals so estimates of area covered are used. Read more
How do traits determine invasiveness among populations and species?
As our climate undergoes significant shifts, and global trade continues to intensify, the movement of biological species is a critical concern. Read more
