PhD Studentship in Biology: Exploring the Role of Nutrient Transport Mechanisms in Models of Animal-Microbe Symbiosis
Overview. Understanding how symbiotic relationships between microorganisms and host animals are maintained is key to our understanding of how their physiology, ecological dynamics, evolutionary processes and, ultimately, survival are influenced. Read more
Community empowerment through DIGItisation in East Africa
Community empowerment through DIGItisation in East Africa. a collaborative project between Queen’s University Belfast and Self Help Africa. Read more
Role of vitamin D in the recurrence of bovine tuberculosis (Master's Degree by Research)
Funded by the HEA shared Island initiative to drive the formation of new partnerships between research organisations across the Island or Ireland, this… Read more
Linking phytoremediation to energy crops for sustainable bioenergy and land restoration
This PhD project will investigate the potential of using energy crop species grown on contaminated land to combine sustainable bioenergy production with land restoration and pollution mitigation. It is part of the H2020 CERESiS project (. Read more
Assessment of the impacts of regulatory anaerobic crop protection product degradation protocols on soil microbial communities to determine the variation between laboratory and field DT50 trials. (ref: RDFC22/HLS/APP/SHERRY)
Microbial communities are key drivers of soil biogeochemical cycling providing numerous critical ecosystem services and are key contributors to the global response to climate change [1]. Read more

Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP) PhD Minimising food loss and waste through breeding - Uncovering the physiological and genetic control of brown heart in Brassica napus
One of the largest limitations to food security is food loss and waste. Crop discolouration at harvest or postharvest in root vegetables can lead to significant crop losses, as crops are less appealing for consumers (Adams and Brown, 2007; Aschemann-Witzel et al., 215). Read more
Weed Seed Ecology in Regenerative Agriculture; black-grass and emerging grass weeds
A 4 year PhD Studentship is available to UK and international students, starting September 2022. Closing date for Applications 29th July. Read more

How much carbon is stored in European agricultural land? - SENSE CDT
Farming practices and interventions that sequester and store carbon in agricultural soils can significantly contribute to climate change mitigation, as well as support farmer’s adaptation to increasing frequency of extreme events, droughts and floods. Read more
Pollen-Pistil communication strategies during plant reproduction: Acceptance or Rejection
Fertilization in higher plants is the result of a series of successful interactions between pollen and pistils of the same species. Read more

How do circadian rhythms shape the responses of plants to climate change? (DODD_J22DTP)
Living organisms can tell the time. This is because they contain circadian clocks, which produce a cellular measure of the time of day. Read more
SFI Centre for Research Training in Genomic Data Science: Creating the infrastructure in the use of genomic tools for pathogen surveillance and control in crops
Despite the recommendations of many expert groups, One Health surveillance systems have not yet improved to the point where emerging infectious threats can be better anticipated. Read more

Fully funded MSc by Research in Biology - A perfect sunrise: modulating dawn light for greater yield and quality in vertical farms
Controlled environment agriculture, such as indoor vertical farming, is a rapidly growing horticultural sector, reducing. water, fertiliser and pesticide use and producing food on non-arable land. Read more
Fully funded MSc by Research in Biology: Determining the interactions among the soil microbiome, beneficial soil microbial inoculants and soil-adjuvants to promote crop productivity under drought.
A move towards more sustainable agricultural systems is a long-term goal not only for the UK but globally, as highlighted by the UN 2030 agenda goals which set out the need for such sustainable development. Read more
