CR2025_47: Nutrient Impacts and Microbiochemical Controls on Carbon Storage in Forest Soils
Temperate forests and woodlands play a vital role in storing carbon, much of which is held in the soil. This natural carbon storage helps to offset the effects of climate change. Read more
Benchtop NMR for Automated Analysis in High-throughput Reaction Screening
Background. Chemical synthesis is the cornerstone of modern science and technology, underpinning the development of new drug molecules, agrochemicals, advanced materials and technologies. Read more
Temperature, precipitation and chemical gradient impacts on the ecology and dynamics antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in engineered and natural wetlands.
This project is part of the NERC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training, ECOWILD. For more details, and for a full list of projects offered under this programme, please visit. Read more
Carbon fixation in a future ocean – Consequences of nitrogen limitation on lipid remodelling and the ecophysiology of marine phytoplankton
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. · Resolving unknown effects of nitrogen (N) and nitrogen-phosphorus (N/P) co-limitation on lipid synthesis. Read more
GW4+ DOCTORAL LANDSCAPE TRAINING PARTNERSHIP (DLTP): Calcium’s role in building a habitable planet
Project aims and methods. Biogeochemical model investigations of the co-evolution of the Earth and life have tended to focus on oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations in the oceans and atmosphere, examining how these have been controlled by the carbon (C), sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) cycles. Read more
Cysteinolides, a novel microbial sulfonolipids in the oceans (CENTA 2025-B5)
Marine roseobacter clade bacteria play important roles in the global carbon, nitrogen and sulfur cycles (Buchan et al., 2014). For example, they are involved in the formation and consumption of the climate-active gases- methylated amines. Read more
NERC RED-ALERT CDT: High-fidelity water quality and hydrological modelling of emerging contaminants in rivers.
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the Red-ALERT CDT for entry in September 2025. Overview of the Research. Read more
PhD Position in Fundamental and Applied Chemistry of PN Cages
Background. Our group explores geometrically interesting molecules for fundamental and functional chemistry. One area of focus is the development of scaffolds from which substituents can be reliably extended with well-defined bond angles and lengths. Read more
E5 DTP - Examining the carbon chemistry and cycling of natural and artificial peatland pools
Drainage and erosion of peatlands diminishes carbon (C) storage, biodiversity and water quality, and there is now a concerted effort to restore peatlands to re-establish these lost ecosystem services. Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Atomically thin membranes for blue-energy applications
Blue energy refers to the generation of electricity through exploitation of the differences in salinity between freshwater and seawater. Read more
EASTBIO: Evaluation of the efficiency of commercial rations in UK dairy farms
The ability of ruminants to turn human-inedible products into human-edible products is of large significance in terms of global food security. Read more
Exploring bacteria-mycorrhizal fungi-plant interactions regulating nutrient exchange
Plant-microbe interactions underpin crop production. Bacteria and fungi are implicated in improving plant health with recent research showing these microbes synergise to additively increase crop yields. Read more
Physiological consequences of cyanobacterial lipid remodelling under changing ocean conditions
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. · High throughput lipidomics analysis. · Effects of future ocean conditions on cyanobacteria. Read more
A new sulfolipid in bacteria-phytoplankton interactions
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. · Marine microbes meet omics. · World-leading supervisory team on marine microbiology and ecology. Read more
GW4+ DOCTORAL LANDSCAPE TRAINING PARTNERSHIP (DLTP): Long-term impact of microplastics on marine elemental biogeochemical cycling and primary productivity
Project aims and methods. Plastic pollution is a growing threat to marine ecosystems, with microplastic pollution (. Useful recruitment links. Read more
