Eco-evolutionary optimization of synthetic phage therapy

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Background. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacterial cells, use their cellular machinery to assemble new phage virions, and then kill the cell via lysis to release the virions. Read more

Optimizing phage-antibiotic-synergies to kill bacterial pathogens

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

Phage therapy, the use of viruses that only infect bacterial cells and kill them, is a promising potential solution to the antimicrobial resistance crisis that is threatening modern medicine1. Read more

Genetics of flowering shoot temperature responses in plants

Durham University Department of Biosciences

The shape of plants is shaped by both genetics and environment; changes in response to temperature can be the most dramatic of all. Read more

The role of regulatory evolution in phage ecology

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

The regulation of genes crucially determines the fitness and function of all organisms. This is particularly relevant for bacteriophages, the viruses that infect bacteria, as they rely on a tightly scheduled program for a successful infection. Read more

Ecological geometry: applying geometric and topological concepts and tools to model how animals interact with each other and their environment

Aberdeen University School of Natural and Computing Sciences

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Modelling the ecology and evolution of microbial communities

The University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health

From the human gut to deep-sea sediments, microbial communities – or microbiomes – colonize virtually every habitat on earth. These microbiomes are central to ecosystem functioning and to host health, and therefore it is essential that we understand how and why they change over time. Read more

PhD in Food Web Networks and Environmental Change: Exploring how natural and anthropogenic stress influence the structure and dynamics of communities.

University of Sheffield School of Biosciences

The interactions among species define a food web network. In these networks, species have dynamics (e.g. numbers and biomass), the community has structure (e.g. Read more

Multilevel selection on transposition rates in cancer

University of Reading Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology

Cancer is an evolutionary process. Cells in a tumour vary due to mutation, and so over many generations they adapt in response to both intrinsic selective pressures (such as anoxia) and extrinsic selective pressures (such as chemotherapy). Read more
