We have 187 Evolution PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students
EastBio: Exploring the dark matter of the genome and proteome: in search of functional importance within transposable elements and disordered regions.
The one gene - one protein - one function hypothesis has pushed forward the field of molecular biology for the past several decades. Read more
Vocal repertoires of killer whales in captive social groups: effects of social environment and genealogy
The role of genealogy and the social and physical environment in shaping behavioural repertoires can be difficult to disentangle in the wild, but studies on captive groups where environmental variables are controlled and genealogy and social history are known, can provide valuable insights. Read more
The genomics and spatial dynamics of semi-permeable species barriers - the Marbled White hybrid zone as a test case
Hybrid zones can be understood as natural genome collision experiments that allow detailed inferences about the interplay of evolutionary forces in nature. Read more
Understanding interactions between Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia and Corynebacterium within the human nasal microbiota
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae are leading human pathogens and also asymptomatically colonise the upper respiratory tract of more than 30% of humans. Corynebacterium species are abundant in the human nasal cavity. Read more
Understanding how interaction with the host influences virulence and antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus aureus
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae are leading human pathogens and also asymptomatically colonise the upper respiratory tract of more than 30% of humans. Read more
Understanding interactions between Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia and Corynebacterium within the human nasal microbiota
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae are leading human pathogens and also asymptomatically colonise the upper respiratory tract of more than 30% of humans. Read more
Discovering the gene regulatory networks that control cereal development
All cereal crops are grasses, meaning that the grass family provides more than 50% of global calories. The grass leaf underpins this crucial productivity and yet we do not understand the gene regulatory networks that control its development. Read more
PhD Studentship in Understanding adenovirus diversity and immunity for pandemic preparedness
About the Project. Applications are invited for a fully funded 4-year PhD Studentship in Understanding adenovirus diversity and immunity for pandemic preparedness, based in the Department of Genetics at Cambridge University under the supervision of Dr Charlotte Houldcroft. Read more
PhD Studentship in Primate Comparative Genomics: Exploring Somatic Mutations and Ageing Across Evolutionary Timescales
Are you passionate about understanding the fundamental mechanisms of evolution and aging? Join us at the University of Cambridge to investigate how genomic instability influences lifespan and aging across diverse primate species. Read more
Female mate choice, genetic effects, and the diverse reproductive strategies of live-bearing and egg-laying lizards
We have a fully funded PhD position available to join our team at the University of Glasgow Scotland through the competitively awarded, NERC-funded IAPETUS2 Doctoral Training Programme. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Assessing the Effects of Heatwaves on Specialised Ecological Interactions
Background. Climate change is amplifying the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, with heatwaves (HWs) being a significant stressor for ecological systems. Read more
ACCE+ DLA Programme: The evolution of body size, shape and locomotor ecology in tetrapods
Body size and shape play fundamental roles in organismal function and it is therefore expected that animals may possess body proportions that are adapted to their ecological niche. Read more
The Evolution of Temporal Representations in Humans and Non-Human Animals
Are you a potential PhD student interested in researching the evolution of the capacity for mental time travel? If so, then read on! . Read more
Mandrills and microbes II: the gut microbiome of a social primate
The primate gastro-intestinal tract is home to trillions of micro-organisms, which provide their host with essential benefits. In addition to aiding digestion and producing vitamins, gut micro-organisms play a crucial role in the host immune response, protecting the host from infection. Read more
Modelling stochastic emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations
Bacterial evolution of antibiotic resistance within patients can compromise the efficacy of antibiotic treatment and represents a serious threat to public health. Read more
