animal breeding PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for European Students (exc UK)

We have 23 animal breeding PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for European Students (exc UK)

A breeding programme simulation software for aquaculture

This project will be an exciting collaboration between the Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Systems, The Roslin Institute, and Hendrix Genetics, a world-leading multi-species breeding company with extensive experience in aquaculture, animal breeding technologies, and genetics. Read more

Evolution and prediction of viral trajectories in animal populations using systems epidemiology approaches

There is a large diversity of viruses in animal reservoir populations which do not necessarily cause severe disease in their natural hosts. However, spillover into other kept animal and human populations can result in outbreaks, epidemics and even pandemics. Important ongoing questions about this process include. Read more

Application of artificial intelligence in the monitoring of zoo animal welfare

Project ID. ARES10. In the face of rapid biodiversity decline, zoos play a key role in wildlife conservation by engaging in specialised captive breeding programmes that maintain genetically diverse and sustainable animal populations that could be reintroduced in the wild. Read more

Biodiversity conservation in alpine environments: Genetic-based approaches link individual behaviour to population dynamics.

Project ID. ARES6. Mountain regions are particularly threatened by global warming. The magnitude of the effects of climate change on mountain biodiversity will depend on the species’ ability to cope with their unique and shared challenges resulting from change. Read more

Remote sensing of crop performance in winter wheat

Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more

NERC ACCE Doctoral Training Partnership: Investigating ‘cognitive ecology’ in the European nightjar

The ACCE DTP 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

The role of behaviour in facilitating or hindering adaptation to climate change

Background. Climate change is arguably the greatest threat to biodiversity in the 21st century. Because behaviour is very labile, behavioural responses are typically the first line of defense to rapid environmental change (Gunn et al. Read more

Causes and consequences of age-related changes in fighting ability in animals

Age-related changes in social traits are widespread across the animal kingdom. In cooperatively-breeding species, for instance, the type and amount of help that individuals provide often changes as they age. Read more

Clock-watchER: Circadian coordination of the plant endoplasmic reticulum

The rotation of the Earth creates periodic day-night changes in environmental conditions such as light and temperature. Organisms are able to adapt to these predictable diurnal cycles through their internal timekeeping system, the circadian clock, which has a periodicity of approximately 24 hours. Read more
