We have 54 soil PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students
Deep Learning for Woodland Soil Biodiversity Identification and Monitoring
Soils are one of the most important reservoirs of biodiversity [1], and soil fauna is a critical component of functioning ecosystems across the world. Read more
Mathematical Modelling of Poro-Mechanics of Soil
Soil is one of the most complex and important self-assembling organo-mineral composites in the world. All human food supply, ecosystem and infrastructure services depend on soil, yet we have very little understanding of what happens in soil. Read more
Modelling soil dewatering and recharge for cost-effective and climate resilient infrastructure
Soil is one of the most complex and important self-assembling organo-mineral composites in the world. All human food supply, ecosystem and infrastructure services depend on soil. Read more
Computational modelling of mineral-organic binding in soil
Soils contain large amounts of organic matter (also called “soil organic carbon”). there is three times as much carbon stored in soil than in the atmosphere as CO. Read more
Fully Funded EPSRC PhD Scholarship in Vegetated urban rain gardens for the management of hydroclimatic stressors
Rapid growth of urban areas has highlighted the importance of integrating high-quality green infrastructure into urban planning to create sustainable, resilient and liveable cities. Read more
Carbon sequestration from Agricultural soils from different Land-uses, Managements and Soil types (CALMS)
Agriculture dominates the Irish landscape, with ~60% of the total land area devoted to grass-based agriculture for beef and dairy production. Read more
4-year PhD Studentship: Impact of the microbial biodiversity and micro-ecological processes on the transmission and persistency of diseases in dairy farms: a multidisciplinary, adaptive research approach
Soil provides the basic structure for the development of the ecosystem where humans and animals live. Soil microbiota, including different pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms, are responsible for the health and maintenance of the ecosystem, creating the greatest biodiversity in the world. Read more
Dissecting functions of beneficial soil bacterium in protecting banana plants from fungal infection
The Panama disease of banana, caused by fungus Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense tropical race 4 (Foc TR4) threatens the global production of bananas. Read more
Root dynamics and ecosystem function
We invite applications for a fully-funded (candidates eligible for EU and UK fees only) 4-year PhD project within the Plant-Soil Function group in the Discipline of Botany, School of Natural Sciences at Trinity College Dublin. . Read more
Master of Science by Research scholarship on the development of rapid, low-cost tools to quantify soil organic carbon
The University of St Andrews is pleased to offer a scholarship funded by the Royal and Ancient Foundation to support an exceptional student undertaking research in the following project. Read more
Geotechnics: Acoustic Emission Monitoring in Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (Ref: ABCE-ASm2-24)
Global change is accelerating the rate of deterioration of geotechnical systems (slopes, tunnels, foundations, retaining structures, pipelines). Read more
Effects of installation and use of polymer support fluids on the load capacity of piles formed in low to medium permeability soils
Installing bored piles in collapsible soils or just drilling a deep hole requires the use of temporary casings or support fluids such as bentonite or polymers to stabilise the shaft. Read more
Developing a soil health index using advanced remote and proximal sensing methods in a unique and complex salt-affected environment to test and refine AI technologies, with the potential for significant agricultural, environmental, and socio-economic benefits
We are pleased to announce an opening a full-time PhD position for six (6) years at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Agriculture. Read more
Elucidating the fate of iron and copper based nanofertilizer in soil-plant system using isotope labelling and synchrotron techniques
Nanotechnology is a rapidly advancing enabling technology with the potential to revolutionize modern life. More recently, the application of nanotechnology in agriculture has garnered significant attention due to its high potential to facilitate sustainable agriculture and enhance food security. Read more
Removing rabbits to restore ecosystems
Outside the Fence. How strategic removal of rabbit warrens could achieve large-scale restoration and connect natural habitat for wildlife. Read more
