We have 35 soil PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students
PhD Studentship: Biochar for Soil Health to Boost the Environmental Sustainability of British Hop Production
Applications are invited for this full-time PhD studentship, which for UK home students is fully funded* by the Worshipful Company of Brewers, Asahi, Sainsbury’s, and the Royal Agricultural University. Read more
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
PhD Studentship: Wildflower Interventions to Boost the Environmental Sustainability of British Hop Production
Applications are invited for this full-time PhD studentship, which for UK home students is fully funded* by the Worshipful Company of Brewers, Asahi, Sainsbury’s, and the Royal Agricultural University. 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
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
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 - plant community ecology
Outside the Fence. How strategic removal of rabbit warrens could achieve large-scale restoration and connect natural habitat for wildlife. Read more
OMV-I: Investigating spatio-temporal dynamics of Oat Mosaic Virus (OMV) in Irish tillage systems
Oats is an essential cereal crop for the Irish tillage sector, providing an important break in rotations while delivering an important economic return into an expanding marketplace. 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
