PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Viruses in fractured basalt aquifers: terrestrial analog for a potential Martian subsurface microbiome?
Start Date. 01 October 2025. Motivation. On Earth, viruses are the most abundant microorganism in seawater (Suttle 2007). The relative abundance of viruses in terrestrial groundwaters is not yet known, but recent studies point towards a large and highly novel subsurface virome (Wu et al. Read more
Mechanisms of dynein-mediated transport of Marek’s Disease Virus
The sustainability of global food production is under threat from the increase in human population, reduced availability of natural resources and climate change. Read more
Modelling The Prevalence and Co-Occurrence of Adverse and Benevolent Childhood Experiences and the Association with Mental Health for Adults in Northern Ireland.#1681
Research Group:
Psychology
Research suggests that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) account for a substantial proportion of mental health problem in adulthood. Read more
Transdiagnostic mental health mechanisms: The role of negative self-referential processing
Research Group:
Psychology
Mental health problems are traditionally classified as discrete disorders characterised by specific symptoms. Read more
Grassroots sports and acts of citizenship: exploring how social movements mobilise sports to foster social and political participation in low-income superdiverse urban locales #1679817
Social movements are increasingly using sports as a tool for engagement and mobilisation as well as for addressing a broad spectrum of societal challenges, spanning from homelessness, gentrification, and anti-migrant sentiments to combating homophobia and sexism (Genovesi, 2023; Jarvie and Ahrens 2019; Milan and Milan, 2020).

Building flexibility into long-term water resources system planning and management strategies
Sustainable water resources planning, and management policies need to consider the impact of future changes due to factors like geomorphologic processes, aging infrastructure, demand shifts or variability of water supplies. Read more
CR2025_30: Crushed basalt addition to soil to enhance carbon sequestration: implications for soil physical and hydrological functioning
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at Swansea University*. Crushed basalt has recently received a lot of interest as a soil amendment that can facilitate atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO. Read more

Establishment and Characterization of a Novel self-renewing, non-transformed Chicken Macrophage Cell Line for the Study of Innate Immunity
Background. Macrophages are a heterogeneous population of immune cells critical for host defense against pathogens. Tissue macrophages are embryonic derived self-renewing cells while bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) are mostly inflammatory macrophages with a limited lifespan. Read more
Resilient dunes: determining the impacts of winter flooding variability on coastal dune wetland plant communities using remote sensing (Ref: FCDT-25-LU1)
Coastal dune slacks are depressions in dune systems at the level of the water table. They are a very biodiverse and extremely rare habitat which is under threat, and so are a nature conservation priority. Read more
Small and beautiful: Assessing the importance of Miyawaki ‘Tiny forests’ for urban biodiversity (CENTA 2025-B27)
Urbanisation is a driving force in biodiversity change at a global level (McDonald et al. 2020), affecting species’ assemblages, and affecting functional ecology across multiple taxa (Hahs et al., 2023). Read more
Observation-Based Investigations of Contrail Formation & Evolution
Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD scholarship that will use state-of-the-art observations to advance understanding of aircraft contrail formation and evolution. . Read more
Functional and structural characterisation of glycosyltransferases involved in protein mannosylation
Glycosylation is one the most abundant post-translational modifications and an evolutionary indicator. indeed the increasing complexity of host-pathogen and organism-environment interactions, amongst others, is reflected in the newly-reported ability of prokaryotes (e.g. Read more
