Developing novel insecticidal proteins for crop protection
Project Overview. Undertake a cutting-edge PhD research project at the UoY’s Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP), focused on addressing one of the most pressing challenges in agriculture. Read more
Nurture versus nature in locusts – can we control their swarming behaviour?
Are you interested in animal behaviour, and its physiological control? Would you like to perform research that could inform new agricultural practices? Then this is the PhD for you!. Read more
Competition in the brain: the neural basis of behavioural decision-making
Life as an animal is a constant process of choosing between actions. do I look for food, escape from a predator, find a mate, or stay on the sofa? Many of these actions are mutually exclusive, so decisions must carefully balance the importance of the animal’s various needs. Read more

Project at Aberystwyth University: Genome editing enhanced myxobacterial predators for biological control of diverse crop pathogens
Pathogens have a huge impact on conventional agriculture by decreasing yield and increasing spoilage. They also threaten the security of alternative agricultural systems such as hydroponics/vertical farming/insect farming/cultured meat. Read more
Project at University of Reading: Optimising above and belowground ecosystem services for sustainable crop production
UK agriculture could play a central role in reaching NET ZERO by 2050 and halting biodiversity loss. Agriculture is a significant contributor to UK emissions (10%), and intensive farming practices and habitat loss are key drivers of species declines. Read more

BBSRC NWD: On the edges of symbiosis: how insect symbionts evolve in newly established interactions
Background. The biology of arthropods – perhaps more than any other animal – is defined by their interactions with symbiotic microbes. Read more
Evaluation of semiochemicals sourced from trap crop and host plants as attractant for spotting bugs
Project description. Are you passionate about developing innovative solutions for horticultural pest control? We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate in chemical ecology to join a groundbreaking project focused on developing novel attractants for fruit and banana spotting bugs. Read more

China Scholarship Council: Molecular interplay in plant-aphid-virus interactions
Aphid-transmitted plant viruses pose a major threat to potato crop production. Among the non-persistent viruses, potyviruses, such as PVY and PVA, cause significant economic damage. Read more
Determining the impact of grazing and cropping on tropical wildlife
This PhD is a field-intensive project involving various automated and hands-on methods to quantify wildlife use of impacted landscapes (grazing, clearing, and cropping). You will be using acoustic survey methods combined with camera trapping, and traditional trapping and searching, to detect vertebrates and invertebrates in very HOT and REMOTE locations in tropical Queensland Australia.
