Searching for Charge-Parity Violation in Neutrino Oscillations
The Centre for Particle Physics at Royal Holloway is offering a PhD opportunity on the T2K and DUNE long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. Read more
Security and Privacy in App-enabled ecosystems
App-enabled ecosystems have taken over most of the ways we interact with devices and the internet. Users can now find and install apps on their smart devices (phones, watches, TVs, etc.), browsers (as extensions and webapps) or within other applications (suites, productivity tools, etc.). Read more
Stimuli-responsive proteins for nanobiotechnology applications
Research into stimuli-responsive polymers and biopolymers over last few decades generated substantial body of published literature. Read more
The Spillover Effect of Biodiversity Across the Rural-Urban Continuum in the UK
Ecosystem services (ES) are benefits provided by ecosystems to sustain wildlife and our well-being [1]. Read more
Information Content and Dissemination in High-Frequency Trading
The Department of Economics at Royal Holloway is inviting students to apply for a full-time scholarship for doctoral research on. Read more
How centrosome proteins drive brain development using zebrafish as a model for human neurogenesis
The centrosome has an important role in brain development, as demonstrated by the genetic links between microcephaly – a developmental disease where brain size is reduced – and centrosome proteins. Read more
The evolutionary dynamics of mitochondrial genes; a modelling study in how reproduction strategies affect fitness
Mitochondria transitioned from free-living bacteria to obligate symbionts of eukaryotic cells. In this process they gave up a good part of their genome (either lost or transferred to the nucleus of their host cell) and their reproductive independence, which is controlled by the nucleus. Read more
A sustainable source of the adjuvant squalene; generated using New Plant Breeding Techniques
Squalene is a C30 linear triterpene synthesised in plants, animals, bacteria and fungi. Read more
Identification of core and regulatory haustorial proteins of powdery mildews for crop protection by novel silencing approaches of genes involved in plant susceptibility, biotrophy or virulence
The ultimate goal of this PhD project is to devise disease control strategies alternative to GM or traditional fungicide treatments to protect plants against powdery mildews, which are major biotrophic fungal pathogens affecting many valuable food crops, including cereals, strawberry, cucurbits or pea.

What explains differences in animal popularity and how can we promote species with low conservation and research attention?
There are huge differences in the popularity of different species, not just in public and media interest, but also research and conservation attention. Read more
Animal behaviour: a tool to understand anthropogenic threats to bees
The loss of floral forage resources that has resulted from land-use change within the last century is considered to be one of the key threats to social bees in temperate landscapes. Read more
Forest diversity effects on wood ants
Wood ants (Formica spp) play a keystone role in boreal forest ecosystems by influencing the structure and composition of soil and forest floor vegetation as well as the abundance of other ground-dwelling arthropods and invertebrate foliar herbivores. Read more
Understanding the mechanisms underlying herbicide synergy
Herbicide synergies are desirable, allowing lower application rates, or frequency of treatments, reducing the incidence of herbicide resistance and conferring effects across a greater range of weed species. Read more
