We have 71 Plant Biology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for European Students (exc UK)
Project at University of Lincoln: Revealing the potential of Organo-Mineral Fertilisers to enhance crop productivity, as well as improve soil health and sustainability.
The UK imports a significant amount of unsustainably mined phosphorus, with low deployment efficiency leading to environmental issues like eutrophication. Read more
Project at Cranfield University: Novel breeding strategies for elite raspberry cultivar selection
Raspberries are clonally propagated and grown for the high-value fresh market in the UK, and around the world, providing many nutritional benefits and pleasure to consumers. Read more
Development of rapid diagnostic tools for plant toxins analysis
The overall aim of the project is the design, construction and implementation of a rapid bionanosensor for the single and multiplex analysis of plant toxins. Read more

Watering the flowers: gene x environment control of water use during Brassica napus inflorescence development
When to water the flowers? As climate change starts to affect our world, drought and warming are already affecting agricultural productivity. Read more
Understanding management efficacy towards biological invasions
The ecological and socio-economic tolls caused by biological invasions are rapidly escalating. Invasive species have contributed to the majority of extinction events globally and their economic costs exceed $400 billion annually. Read more
Plant-based dietary patterns and health – a whole food systems perspective
Recent calls for more sustainable dietary patterns mean increased demand for plant-based foods1. Read more

Sounds of the Forest: Examining Patterns in Woodland Biodiversity using AI and Machine Learning
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at the University of Reading*. Detecting and interpreting spatial and temporal changes in biodiversity patterns within and between habitats remains a key challenge in conservation and landscape management, and in ecology more broadly. Read more
What are the consequences of sexual dimorphism for habitat choice? Lessons from an actinorhizal dioecious plant (Hippophae rhamnoides L.)
Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
In silico methods to identify “design principles” for stable and robust microbiomes
Join the Tanaka group in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London, as a PhD student and be a part of the Centre for Holobiont Research. Read more
BBSRC NWD: Harnessing soil microbial functions for sustainable agriculture
Background. Modern agricultural practices have greatly reduced soil microbial diversity, leaving 60% of European soils degraded. This decline disrupts essential ecosystem functions like nutrient cycling, compromising soil fertility, crop health, and natural pest resistance. Read more
