EASTBIO: Neural Circuits of Kinship Behaviour
Research Group:
Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences
The research goals of this PhD project would involve study of the circuits underlying natural social behaviours with a focus on behaviour that is ethologically relevant for the animal. Read more
FULLY FUNDED - Characterizing the relationship between vertebrate diversity, abundance and pathogen dynamics among restored woodlands over a spatiotemporal gradient
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. The restoration of woodlands is an important tool for mitigating the effects of climate change and habitat loss. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Understanding the role of piRNAs in mosquito immunity
Vector-borne diseases afflict humans, livestock and plants – for example, according to WHO, vector-borne diseases comprise ~17% of all infectious disease of humans – and also threaten biodiversity by their impact on endangered species. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Sensing the environment: How do environmental cues affect reproduction in insects?
Insects, along with other animals, cope with changing or adverse environmental conditions by pausing reproduction (reproductive diapause). Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Bee fertility in a warming world – how climate change affects reproduction
With increasing regularity of summer heatwaves, we are starting to see the devastating impacts of climate change. However, most biological predictions of how climate change will impact species are based on the temperatures which are lethal for a species. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Muscle function during running
The anatomy of the legs is complex with multiple muscles that are (anatomically) capable of flexing and extending the limb joints. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Understanding the physiological and molecular changes in mouse retinal cells during development and ageing
The intrinsic electrophysiological properties of retinal cells, including factors such as ion channel composition and excitability, play a pivotal role in determining visual processing efficiency. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: The genetic and developmental control of complex nanostructure formation in butterfly wing scales
Butterfly wings are natural wonders, covered in colourful scales that are used for signaling, thermoregulation and to help with aerodynamic performance. Read more
Fully-funded White Rose BBSRC DTP Biology project: Understanding the role of piRNAs in mosquito immunity
Lead supervisor. Prof Luke Alphey. Co-supervisor. Prof Sean Sweeney. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. Read more
PhD Studentship - I2AM-BirD: Innovative Integration of Advanced Materials for Bird-tracking tag antenna Design
A rare opportunity for a mechanical/materials graduate engineer to advance the study of wild birds at a thriving modern university and alongside an international market leader in the design and manufacture of bird tracking devices, in the lovely south coast county of Dorset. . Read more
QUADRAT DTP: The health and well-being effects of pest rodent management strategies in rural Madagascar
Across low-income countries, rodents contribute significantly to income and food insecurity due to both pre and post-harvest losses. Read more
Unveiling the protective power of fish mucus: exploring mucosal components for combatting Saprolegniosis via nutritional supplements
Recognizing the crucial role of fish mucus as the first line of defense against parasites, this exciting fully funded 42 month industrial PhD studentship proposes to investigate fish mucus efficacy in combating saprolegniosis. Read more
Convex Seascape Survey – Effects of seabed disturbances and protection on uptake and storage of seascape carbon
Location. Distance learning in department of Ecology & Conservation, Penryn Campus, Cornwall. Students will be based in country of fieldwork (South Africa) enrolled as University of Exeter students, distance learning with periods of time spent on campus. Read more
The Physiology of Macronutrient-Dependent Immunity in Honeybees
This project aims to understand the interaction between macronutrients and immunity. The candidate will develop research to understand how the quality and quantity of protein and lipid nutrients influence an adaptive immune response, using the response in bees as a model system. Read more
How does rapid evolution affect ecological dynamics and stability in an era of global environmental change?
PhD position in Eco-Evolutionary Biology. University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, together with the University of British Columbia (Canada), the University of Arkansas (US), National Institute of Genetics (Japan), and MIT (US). Read more
