  Hacking the soil microbiome: enhancing rhizobial inoculants in the lab and in the wild
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Dr E Harrison, Dr A Krzywoszynska
Application Deadline: 30 April 2019
In this project we will investigate novel ways of improving the effectiveness of next. generation bio-fertilizers – including using naturally occurring mutualistic viruses (temperate phages) which associate with rhizobia to enhance the competitiveness of inoculant strains.

  How does rising atmospheric CO2 change the productivity of crops and trees?
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Prof C P Osborne
Applications accepted all year round
Professor Colin Osborne, Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, UK. New research in the lab investigates how plant growth is controlled by the supply of carbon from photosynthesis (source strength) verses the demand for carbon in growing tissues (sink strength).

  Impacts of land-use change on tropical biodiversity
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Dr D Edwards
Applications accepted all year round
Tropical land-use change is a core driver of the global extinction and climate change crises. In the Edwards lab, we use field research, economic assessment and rigorous statistical analyses to determine the impacts of tropical land-use change on biodiversity, carbon stocks and other ecosystem services.

  PhD in Ecology and Environment: how ecosystems, and the species they contain, respond to environmental change and how to reduce and mitigate adverse impacts
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Dr D Childs
Applications accepted all year round
Environmental change threatens biodiversity, altering ecosystem processes and provision of ecosystem services. These environmental change pressures are accelerating due to growing human populations and accompanying climate change, land use, pollution and invasive species.

  PhD in Evolution and Behaviour: exploring the connection between how organisms have evolved and how they behave
University of Sheffield Department of Animal and Plant Sciences
  Dr D Childs
Applications accepted all year round
The connection between how organisms have evolved and how they behave is a fundamental principle of biology. It can show us why organisms are the way they are, and answer deep questions about the diversity of life on earth.
