We have 69 Soil Science PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for European Students (exc UK) in the UK
Cryospheric and hydrological responses to a warming High Mountain Asia
Summary. This project investigates the impact of a warming climate by mapping the rate the ice loss across High Mountain Asia and analysing its impact on water sustainability and flood risk in the downstream. Read more
Interdisciplinary investigation of societal and community impacts and ecosystem interactions in response to woodland creation and peatland restoration in Scotland
In this fully funded 48-month PhD studentship the aim is to investigate the impacts of woodland creation and peatland restoration on local communities and wider society, as part of natural capital programmes, aiming to achieve multiple benefits. Read more
EastBio - Place based regenerative solutions for net zero
Funding. This 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by EastBio BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
EastBio - Are grasslands as important for soil carbon as we think?
Funding. This 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by EastBio BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
EastBio - Private Sector Intervention Strategies for the Rapid Scaling of Silvopastoral Agroforestry Adoption in Latin America: Evaluating the Potential of the Voluntary Carbon Market
Funding. This 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by EastBio BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
Unravelling the global microbiome of crop plants to improve sustainability and food security
Plants live in close association with complex communities of microbes which together constitute their ‘microbiome’. The microbiome interacts with the plant in numerous ways; some microbes are beneficial and promote plant growth, while others are pathogens which reduce crop yields. Read more
Knowledge and behavioural attitudes towards wastes generation and recycling in urban and rural settings
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Waste generation and rising demand for primary resources are still uncontrolled and increasing problems imposing enormous pressures on the environment and natural resources. Read more
E5 DTP - Life in ice cold clays: on Earth and Mars
A PhD studentship is available in the groups of Prof Charles Cockell (UK Centre for Astrobiology, School of Physics and Astronomy) and Dr Valentina Erastova (School of Chemistry). Read more
The effect of tree planting on soil carbon balance in upland ecosystems
Summary. There is uncertainty over soil carbon fate in tree-established upland ecosystems. This project will quantify system dynamics to understand biogeochemical and microbial mechanisms, improving understanding of net climate mitigation benefit of afforestation. . 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
Are tropical tree communities shaped by processes in the seed-to-seedling transition?
Summary. This project will examine how seed traits and key processes such as seed production, predation and the microbiome influence seedling establishment, demography and composition in intact and disturbed tropical forests. Read more
Climate resilient smart bioengineered soils for sustainable future
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
Soils with low shear strength are unable to stand under their own self weight or any overburden stress due to natural or anthropogenic activities. Read more
Gut Reactions and Ground Rules: The Microbial and Environmental Drivers of Zoonotic Hookworm Hatching
Zoonotic hookworm infections, caused by parasites such as Ancylostoma brasiliense, Ancylostoma caninum, and Uncinaria stenocephala, pose a significant health threat to humans, primarily transmitted from companion animals like cats and dogs. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: Climate implications of land use management practices in Eastern Africa: past, present and future
The ACCE+ DLA is committed to recruiting extraordinary future scientists regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, faith or religious belief, pregnancy or maternity, parental or caring responsibilities or career pathway to date. Read more
