Evolutionary ecology of individual variation
A fully funded DPhil scholarship is available, to be held in the Edward Grey Institute, Department of Biology, University of Oxford from 1 October 2025. Read more
Evolutionary ecology of island birds
A fully funded DPhil scholarship is available, to be held in the Edward Grey Institute, Department of Biology, University of Oxford from 1 October 2025. Read more
HInterMap: drone-based mapping to improve monitoring and understanding of headwater and intermittent streams
Headwater and intermittent small streams are two key riverine types, partly overlapping, representing the vast majority of river networks worldwide, yet less monitored and understood than larger rivers; this project would be of interest internationally . Read more
Afroalpine food webs: predator response to land use and climate change in high mountains
Species can adjust to change through changes in their behaviour and ecology in response to specific disturbances from human activities, including competition with domestic animals. Read more
Individuals, populations, & changing environments
A fully funded DPhil scholarship is available, to be held in the Edward Grey Institute, Department of Biology, University of Oxford from 1 October 2025. Read more
What shapes microbial symbiont communities in insects?
Multicellular organisms interact constantly with microbes. some as pathogens, some as passengers, and some as important and integrated partners. Read more
Bending the biodiversity curve: how can we measure success?
The biodiversity crisis presents existential risk to wildlife, ecosystems and the benefits that human derive from them. To prevent catastrophic losses, we require the highest quality evidence to inform policy and decision-making. Read more
PondChart: harnessing spatial information and earth observation to map and predict occurrence of multiple stressors on mini-wetlands
This project is part of the NERC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training, ECOWILD. For more details, and for a full list of projects offered under this programme, please visit: https://ecowild.site.hw.ac.uk/. Read more
Unravelling the effects of multiple stressors on microbial communities and ecosystem health in semi-natural and constructed wetlands

Conservation (various projects)
Two partially funded DPhil scholarships are available, to be held in the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) at the Department of Biology under the DPhil in Biology course. Read more
Disease transmission, mitigation and management scenarios in Afroalpine carnivores
Canid diseases are a particular and growing concern for the conservation of many wildlife populations, as free-ranging domestic dogs act increasingly as vectors of rabies and canine distemper viruses. Read more

This project is part of the NERC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training, ECOWILD. For more details, and for a full list of projects offered under this programme, please visit: https://ecowild.site.hw.ac.uk/. Read more
Digital twins for forest resilience: from field autonomous robots and drones, to mechanistic simulations of forest threats
Forests constitute 31% of the Earth’s land surface, house 80% of terrestrial species, and are key ecosystems for biodiversity and human livelihoods. Read more
Ecological and molecular genetics of gene-drive mosquitoes
Over ½ the world’s population live at risk of mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, Zika or chikungunya. Read more
