PhD (experimental palaeobotany) Understanding the palaeoecology of leaf chemistry
Looking for a candidate for a funded 4-year PhD in Dr Karen Bacon’s Plant Ecology & Palaeoecology lab group in the School of Natural Sciences, NUI Galway. Read more
IMPACT OF BIOLOGICAL AMENDMENTS ON MICROBIAL DIVERSITY AND SOIL AND PLANT HEALTH
Biological amendments can improve soil/ plant health and crop performance and provide resilience against abiotic and biotic stresses. Read more
PhD Position in Plant Pathology - Resistance to necrotrophic fungi of the family Sclerotiniaceae
Plant diseases caused by fungi belonging to the family sclerotiniaceae affect over 500 different plant species including grape, strawberry and bean. Read more
Harnessing the power of plant social interactions to breed better rice
Applications are invited for this exciting, fully funded, 42 month PhD studentship at the University of Aberdeen. This project is part of The newly established Anthony & Margaret Johnston. Read more
Illuminating cell division: developing live cell imaging techniques to quantify cell cycle dynamics in plants
Cell division is fundamental to multicellular growth and development. Plants develop continuously and make many fine adjustments to cell division patterns… Read more
Resilient Meristems: A systems biology approach to understanding the effects of stress on meristem form and function
Fluctuations in environmental conditions impact plant developmental programmes, stunting growth and reducing yields. Climate change is likely to seriously increase this problem. Read more
Cyanobacterial Photosystem II: Influence of the Electric Field on Function
Leverhulme Trust PhD Studentship. Project Description . Applications are invited for a research studentship leading to the award of a PhD degree, under the supervision of Professor A. Read more
Black soldier fly in animal nutrition: the key to a circular food system (fully funded PhD project)
Project Description. Please note this project is only open to applicants who qualify for Home (UK) student fees. Background. A growing human population combined with rising living standards across the globe, will no doubt continue to increase the demand for animal-derived products [1]. Read more
Sainfoin as an alternative legume forage to support livestock health, biodiversity and reduced emissions (fully funded PhD)
Project Description. Background. Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) is a perennial forage legume. Like other legumes, Sainfoin can offer soil benefits due to its nitrogen fixing properties. Read more
Functional analysis of drought tolerance promoting endophytes in the growth zone of maize leaves
Research project . In addition to the growth promoting interactions between the soil microbiome and plants there is growing evidence that areal plant tissues have their own microbiome of endophytes. Read more

Understanding radionuclide behaviour at the plant-soil interface to direct bioremediation strategies for contaminated land
This PhD project will use plant biology, microbiology, soil geochemistry, and radiochemistry approaches to investigate the role that plants and associated microorganisms can play in managing and potentially decontaminating radioactive contaminated land, such as by ‘phytoremediation’. Read more
Evaluating plant level eco-evolutionary optimality approaches for the global distribution of life forms
The terrestrial biosphere plays a critical role in regulating water, energy and carbon exchanges between the land surface and the atmosphere, and vegetation is therefore a crucial component of climate models. Read more
