We have 16 Soil Science (soil) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
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
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
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
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
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
Gene editing to improve salt tolerance in legumes - PhD
Soil salinization, occurring either naturally (through rainfall salt deposition or weathering of parent rock material) or as a result of anthropogenic activity (poor irrigation and land management practices, rising sea levels) poses a global challenge for crop production and is expected to intensify with projected climate change scenarios. Read more
Modelling and measuring agricultural management on peat soils to enhance removals and sequestration of carbon (MAPSERS-C)
Ireland and New Zealand aim to at least halve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 and reach net zero carbon by 2050. A significant contribution common to both countries national GHG estimates comes from grassland over drained organic (peat) soils with upper estimates of approximately 9Mt CO. Read more
Determining the water retention behaviour of unsaturated hydrophobic granular soils
Hydrophobic granular soils are under investigation for constructing roads on frost-susceptible soils in China and the US, in preference to cementitious stabilisation. Read more
Nature-based solution to mitigate subsidence hazards
One of most important engineering challenges of our generation is to ensure our infrastructure network is resilient to today's natural hazards and prepared for the future changing climate. Read more
Impact of grain roughness on porous media flows under conditions relevant to the subsurface
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
Geotechnics: Climate Change Impacts on Slope Stability (Ref: ABCE-ASm1-24)
Warmer temperatures, extreme droughts, and more intensive convective storms are accelerating deterioration of slopes, degrading resilience. Read more
Droplet Impacts with Functional Surfaces
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
