AI-driven biodiversity insight: enhancing underwater ecosystem monitoring through advanced computer vision
Applications are invited for a 3.5 year PhD studentship with Marine Research Plymouth – a collaborative partnership between the University of Plymouth, the Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the Marine Biological Association. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Adapting to Change: Integrating Climate Projections and Genomic Tools to Future-Proof Fisheries Management
Excited about transforming how food resources are managed under rapidly shifting climate change? Are you eager to learn cutting-edge techniques to make a real-world change to food sustainability and conservation? Apply for this PhD to innovate novel tools for predicting fish population responses to climate change and tackle urgent challenges in marine conservation and fisheries. Read more
Adapting to climate change on subtropical reefs
Subtropical reef ecosystems with coral communities differ from their tropical coral reef neighbours, as they are shaped by a biogeographical overlap of taxa at their range margins, endemic species and seasonal species assemblages (Sommer et al. Read more
Predicting marine biodiversity heatwave vulnerability at management relevant scales: A novel approach for adaptive conservation
Applications are invited for three 3.5 year PhD studentships with the Marine Institute at the University of Plymouth. The studentships are due to start on 1st October 2025. Read more
Mapping coral resilience using 3D photogrammetry in the Red Sea
Project overview. Explore coral reef spatial arrangement using high-resolution 3D photogrammetry to underpin Digital Twins. Analyse coral reef dynamics to inform on niche occupancy towards an assessment of community resistance in changing environments. Read more
E5 Global monitoring models for marine mammal strandings: Creating surveillance intelligence systems for marine mammal strandings management

CR2025_39: Defining the cascading effects of global warming – from the microbial loop to marine food webs (MicroHeat)
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at Swansea University*. Marine ecosystems are highly sensitive to global warming, however, the detailed mechanisms by which temperature changes affect food web dynamics remain poorly understood. Read more

Connectivity and conservation of migratory seabirds (SOMVEILLE_UENV25ARIES)
Background. Seabirds are highly mobile organisms that connect distant regions across the world’s oceans and seas. While being important contributors to marine ecosystems, seabirds are also particularly threatened by human activity. Read more
Eco-evolutionary consequences of altered predator-prey interactions under tropicalisation
Project overview. Tropical predators are becoming established within temperate communities as a response to climate warming (tropicalisation), but with unknown consequences. Read more
Extending statistical methodology for multi-model ensembles (C3.5-MPS-Blackwell)
In many areas of science, there are multiple useful ways to model a given complex system, which may include simple descriptive models or more elaborate mechanistic or process-based models. Read more
Biogeography of the southern Indian Ocean higher predator community
Project overview. Numerous seabird and marine mammal species occur in the subtropical and subantarctic zones of the southern Indian Ocean. Read more
