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
PhD Studentship in Understanding adenovirus diversity and immunity for pandemic preparedness
About the Project. Applications are invited for a fully funded 4-year PhD Studentship in Understanding adenovirus diversity and immunity for pandemic preparedness, based in the Department of Genetics at Cambridge University under the supervision of Dr Charlotte Houldcroft. Read more

About the Project. Applications are invited for a fully funded 4-year PhD Studentship in Unravelling chromatin composition and interactome in ESKAPE pathogens, based in the Department of Genetics at Cambridge University under the supervision of Dr Antoine Hocher. Read more
PhD Studentship in Primate Comparative Genomics: Exploring Somatic Mutations and Ageing Across Evolutionary Timescales
Are you passionate about understanding the fundamental mechanisms of evolution and aging? Join us at the University of Cambridge to investigate how genomic instability influences lifespan and aging across diverse primate species. Read more
Female mate choice, genetic effects, and the diverse reproductive strategies of live-bearing and egg-laying lizards
We have a fully funded PhD position available to join our team at the University of Glasgow Scotland through the competitively awarded NERC-funded IAPETUS2 Doctoral Training Programme. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Assessing the Effects of Heatwaves on Specialised Ecological Interactions
Background. Climate change is amplifying the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, with heatwaves (HWs) being a significant stressor for ecological systems. Read more
ACCE+ DLA Programme: The evolution of body size, shape and locomotor ecology in tetrapods
Body size and shape play fundamental roles in organismal function and it is therefore expected that animals may possess body proportions that are adapted to their ecological niche. Read more
E5 Global monitoring models for marine mammal strandings: Creating surveillance intelligence systems for marine mammal strandings management
Start date. October 2025. Duration: 3.5 YEARS. Stipend: UKRI stipend levels (£19,237 in 2024/25). Supervisors. Dr Jude Eze (SRUC), Dr Annette Boerlage (SRUC), Dr Sarah Marley (SRUC), Dr Giles Innocent (Biomathematics & Statistics Scotland). Read more
To tree or not to tree: unpicking the role of biome switching and continent hopping in trait development across the tropics
Summary. This project uses a pan tropical plant genus to investigate the environmental and evolutionary factors that drive woody plants belowground across the major biomes in tropical areas around the globe. Read more
E5 Investigating the Biodiversity and Ecological Determinants of Fungus Gnats (Sciaridae): An Emerging Pest in Glasshouse Environments
Supervisors. Dr Arthy Surendran (SRUC), Professor Neil Havis (SRUC), Laura Ross (School of Biological Sciences - Institute of Evolutionary Biology, UoE), Matt Elliot (Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh). Read more
Network activity and synaptic plasticity analysis to predict developmental differences in neuronal oscillations (Aston University)

Applying social network and personality trait analyses to understanding and managing human-macaque sympatry in urban Singapore
The need to understand and manage human-primate sympatry is growing in tandem with human population expansion and urbanization across primate range countries worldwide (Humle & Hill, 2016). Read more
The Evolution of Temporal Representations in Humans and Non-Human Animals
Are you a potential PhD student interested in researching the evolution of the capacity for mental time travel? If so, then read on! . Read more
Mandrills and microbes II: the gut microbiome of a social primate
The primate gastro-intestinal tract is home to trillions of micro-organisms, which provide their host with essential benefits. In addition to aiding digestion and producing vitamins, gut micro-organisms play a crucial role in the host immune response, protecting the host from infection. Read more
