We have 144 biological control PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for European Students (exc UK)
Defensive symbiont dynamics in the biological control of agricultural pests
Primary Supervisor: Dr Lee Henry. Co-Supervisor(s): Prof Richard Nichols. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Read more
Building orthogonal ribosome control for engineering biology
Background: . Genetic control challenges in both fundamental biology and biotechnology are effectively tackled by building functionally separated (orthogonal) systems within one cell. Read more
Achieving European freedom from a major invasive alien species: Reeves’ muntjac
Invasive alien species cost the global economy over US$300 billion annually and cause considerable environmental damage (https://doi.org/10.1007/s10530-021-02568-7). 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
Flexible Iterative Learning Control: Enabling Trial-Variant Learning for Real-World Applications
This PhD project aims to advance iterative learning control (ILC) by overcoming the limitation of requiring identical references in each trial, a constraint that can be impractical for many real-world applications. Read more
Optogenetic Control of Texture Perception in the Visual Cortex
Supervisors. Prof. Andrew Benucci. Studentship Funding. Name. SBBS Studentship. Funder. School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences (SBBS) at QMUL. Read more
Building synthetic cells to study mechanical processes in zebrafish development
A long-standing goal is to identify the roles of mechanical forces and cell material properties in regulating essential processes during development, including tissue morphogenesis, cell migration and cell fate specification [1]. Read more
Flexible and Intent-Aware Exoskeleton for Gait Assistance
Gait deficits affect millions of individuals worldwide due to various conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and age-related mobility issues. Read more

Modelling animal perception of camouflaged prey using artificial observers
Background. Animals display a remarkable diversity of colouration, a topic that has fascinated scientists since Darwin and Wallace. Read more
Bioaerosol monitors for building control systems
Applications are invited for a 4 year PhD studentship starting in Autumn 2025 as part of the EPSRC CDT in Aerosol Science. Project description. 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
Funded PhD NERC GW4+ DLTP - Using fitness landscapes to learn how species persist in diverse fish communities
Much of modern biological diversity rests within communities of closely related species. Biologists believe that high diversity is maintained because species partition limited ecological resources between them, thereby limiting competition and avoiding extinction. Read more

Harnessing symbionts for control of vector borne disease in agriculture
Insects vector globally important diseases in agriculture, posing significant economic burdens and threatening food security. Virus transmission by sap-sucking insects account for nearly half of all plant pathogens, leading to >£24 billion in global annual costs. Read more
University of Bath URSA Project: Development and Control of Soft Robots
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
EastBio: Identifying tissue signals that control cellular longevity
In this project, we will identify the tissue-derived signals that control cellular longevity. Understanding cellular longevity is important due to increased use of autologous cell therapies. Read more
