QUARTILES DLA: Mechanisms of spatial variation in natural tree regeneration in grazed UK uplands
This fully funded PhD project is part of the QUARTILES Doctoral Landscape Award, a BBSRC and NERC-funded research and training programme designed to equip… Read more
Fully Funded PhD Scholarship in Assessment of Low Emission Dairy Systems on Zero Zero Project
Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for a full-time funded PhD scholarships starting in March 2025 affiliated to the College of Science & Engineering / School of Biological & Chemical Sciences / Ryan Institute at the University of Galway. Read more
Carbon Myopia: the urgent need for integrated economic, environmental and social action in the agricultural sector
Working as a key team player within the Carbon Storage Partnership the PhD candidate will examine the nexus between climate change adaptation and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mitigation. Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Protein-protein interactions for control of the ruminant parasite the liver fluke
Parasitic worms are responsible for >55% of livestock diseases threatening global food security. Infection from the parasitic liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica, has a negative impact on livestock production and welfare. Read more
Project at Aberystwyth University: Chronobiological changes in behaviour, development and immunity of salmon lice larvae (ChronoLice)
Background. The exciting PhD research project will help us understand the biology of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), a pervasive and damaging fish parasite that causes substantial animal welfare, environmental and economic damage by impacting aquaculture of salmon. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: VIROWORM: Characterising the Interplay between Parasitic Nematodes, Viruses and their Hosts
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the spectre of panzootic highly pathogenic avian influenza, the understanding of infectious diseases (including “macro”pathogenic nematode (roundworm) parasites and “micro”pathogenic viruses) is critical as they undermine human and animal health, productivity, and food security.

Project at Queen's University Belfast: Rethinking Animal Farming for Healthy Diets and a Healthy Planet
Foods like meat, milk, and eggs are a big part of many people’s diets. They provide protein and important nutrients that help us stay healthy. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Climate-Friendly Beef: Long-Term Assessment of Methane Inhibitors
Livestock contributes 30% of methane released into the atmosphere, more than any other single source. The UK Committee on Climate Change (2020) has recommended a 64% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, as necessary, to meet the 2050 targets. Read more
Project at Queen's University Belfast: Exploring the North Ronaldsay Sheep Microbiome: Unlocking Enzymes for Sustainable Agriculture and Biotechnology
Microalgae or seaweed-based livestock feed has shown promise in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Read more
Project at University of Reading: AI-based discovery of methane mitigation additives for ruminants
Methane emissions from ruminants, such as cattle and sheep, are a significant contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for approximately 44% of human-made methane. Read more
TB or not TB – developing the next generation technology for rapid bovine tuberculosis detection
This project will investigate and validate a novel method for rapid and cost-effective analysis of animal (livestock) diseases, focused on bovine tuberculosis. Read more
Project at University of Reading: Novel transition pathways to regenerative agriculture
Current food production systems are major contributors to climate change and biodiversity loss. To create a sustainable future, farming practices must adapt to enhance nature, reduce environmental impact, and ensure resilient food supply chains. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: AI Powered Multi-modal Approaches for Animal Behaviour Analysis and Welfare Monitoring using Unannotated Data
As the global population grows, so does the demand for affordable, high-quality meat, while consumers increasingly emphasise animal welfare. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: AI-Based Acoustic Monitoring in Turkey Poults for Productivity, Health and Welfare
As global demand for poultry continues to grow, there is an increasing need for sustainable, efficient, and welfare-focused farming methods. Read more
Project at University of Surrey: Developing Phage Therapy to Combat Drug-Resistant Poultry Pathogens
The University of Surrey, in collaboration with Queen’s University Belfast is offering an exciting PhD opportunity aiming to revolutionise how we combat bacterial infections in poultry. Read more
