marine conservation PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students

We have 64 marine conservation PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students

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

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

Start date. October 2025. Duration. 3.5 YEARS. Stipend. UKRI stipend levels (£19,237 in 2024/25). Supervisors. Dr Jude Eze (SRUC), Dr Annette Boerlage (SRUC), Dr Sarah Marley (SRUC), Dr Giles Innocent (Biomathematics & Statistics Scotland). Read more

CR2025_50: Marine Forests in Flux: The Impact of Climate Change on Seaweed Carbon Sequestration

*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at Swansea University*. Join an exciting, interdisciplinary PhD project designed to push the boundaries of our understanding of blue carbon in marine ecosystems and contribute to cutting-edge marine science. Read more

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

PhD in Sustainability

Developed for professionals working to create a more sustainable future, PhD in Sustainability students will investigate the social, ecological, technical, and political dimensions of sustainable transformations, the relationship of science and society in advancing more sustainable futures, and novel and inclusive approaches to community-based problem solving and sustainable development.
