PhD Studentship: Methane on the Move Investigating Benthic and Planktonic Drivers of Methanotroph Ecology in Lakes
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Lakes are dynamic methane sources where both benthic and pelagic processes shape net emissions. Sediments are the dominant methane producers, but growing evidence shows that phytoplankton can generate methane under oxic conditions, particularly under phosphorus limitation via pho…
PhD Studentship: Assessing Environmental Endocrine Disruptors with a Human Thyroid–Liver Organ-on-Chip Platform
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
This PhD project aims to develop a human thyroid–liver organ-on-a-chip (OoC) platform to investigate how environmental chemical pollutants disrupt endocrine function, with a focus on thyroid hormone disruption. By integrating omics and systems toxicology approaches, the project w…
PhD Studentship: HInterMap Drone-based Mapping to Improve Monitoring and Understanding of Headwater and Intermittent Streams
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Intermittent streams (c. 50% of world rivers) and headwaters (c. 90% of rivers) are key riverine systems for hydrology, ecology and water quality, which are poorly monitored and lack data (Dugdale et al. 2022; Mainstone et al. 2018; Datry et al. 2016). Streams are often flagged a…
PhD Studentship: Enhancing Risk Recognition and Preparedness for Volcanic Tsunami Hazards in Indonesia
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Indonesia is among the most exposed regions globally to volcanic hazards. Among these hazards, volcanic tsunamis present a particular challenge and have been the cause of several disasters in the past two centuries. Part of the challenge of managing volcanic tsunami hazards lies …
PhD Studentship: Small and Beautiful Assessing the Importance of Miyawaki ‘Tiny Forests’ for Urban Biodiversity
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Urbanisation is a driving force in biodiversity change at a global level (McDonald et al. 2020), affecting species’ assemblages, and affecting functional ecology across multiple taxa (Hahs et al., 2023). Its impact is typically assessed using gradient approaches (McDonnell, & Hah…
PhD Studentship: Techno-behavioural Pathways for Net-zero Housing Retrofits (NZ-housing)
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Decarbonising the building sector is vital for net-zero targets. In 2022, buildings produced around one-third of global energy-related CO₂ emissions—26% from operations and 7% from construction-related embodied emissions (IEA, 2023). Among which, residential buildings generated n…
PhD Studentship: From Smoke to Sustainability Reducing Wood Burning for Cleaner Air and Healthier Lives
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Woodburning has emerged as the single most important source of primary fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in Birmingham and likely many other UK cities. Exposure to PM2.5 from wood stoves contributes to hundreds of premature deaths each year in Birmingham and imposes a significant b…
PhD Studentship: Anthropogenic Materials as Avian Nest Constituents
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
There is widespread concern about the negative impacts of plastic and other anthropogenic solid waste (hereafter referred to as ‘plastics’) on global biodiversity (Law, 2017; Lau et al., 2020). Such materials are extremely slow to break down, which has resulted in discarded micro…

PhD Studentship : The island syndrome in arthropods
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Island organisms worldwide show similarity in morphology and ecology, despite being separated by vast geographic and phylogenetic distances – a biogeographic pattern known as the ‘island syndrome(s)’. It is thought to arise from the combined effects that island area and isolation…
PhD Studentship : Exploring how sulphur metabolism shapes the oak tree microbiome
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Exploring how sulphur metabolism shapes the oak tree microbiome Sulphur is a vital macronutrient for plant growth and resilience, as a component of amino acids and proteins, and signalling pathways involved in responses to both biotic and https://centa.ac.uk/studentship/2026-b23-…
PhD Studentship : Unlocking the UK Pollen Record Reanalysis for Health Forecasting and Epidemiological Insight
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Understanding pollen exposure in the UK is critical for addressing its health impacts, particularly in combination with air pollution, which contributes to a significant disease burden. This project will harness newly available high-resolution environmental datasets, including a …
PhD Studentship : Dating the Icelandic lowland glaciation Implications for Greenland Ice Sheet Vulnerability
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Vulnerability of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) to current climate warming, which could provide c. 7 m of dangerous sea-level rise if it melted completely, is a first-order global concern. GIS melt has already begun, but it is unclear whether it will gain pace significantly over t…
PhD Studentship : Insect responses to climate change in woodland systems
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
We invite applications for a fully funded PhD studentship (3.5 years) hosted by the University of Birmingham and conducted in collaboration with the UK Met Office. This project is ideal for candidates with a background in meteorology, climatology, physics, and any related discipl…
PhD Studentship : Marine biodiversity and its future under environmental changes and exploitation
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
The marine biota provides an important component of our food systems, yet our knowledge of how many species are being harvested for human use is rather limited, especially among marine invertebrates. For example, marine bivalves – including the widely beloved scallops and oysters…
PhD Studentship : Linking Tree Emissions to Atmospheric Chemistry: BVOC Reactivity under Rising CO₂
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Atmospheric chemical processing determines the link between emissions to the air and atmospheric composition, which in turn affects climate and health. The biosphere is the largest source of organic compounds to the atmosphere, with trees dominating production of biogenic volatil…
PhD Studentship : The clock is ticking time lags & nature recovery
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Global biodiversity targets are repeatedly not met despite increasing conservation efforts. While in some cases this is due to inappropriate interventions or external pressures, in other cases, this is due to time lags in species’ responses to conservation efforts. Ecological tim…
PhD Studentship : Primates as agents of dispersal Gastrointestinal food-transit time and its downstream effects on ecosystem services
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Food passage time through animal guts is a critical parameter for constraining an animal’s ability to act as an agent of nutrient, seed, microbe, or pathogen dispersal in its ecosystem. Current methods to estimate food passage do not measure food directly, are impractical for man…
PhD Studentship : A Multi-Scale Quantitative Investigation of Micro- and Nanoplastic Disruptions in Algal Physiology, Trophic Dynamics, and Carbon Sequestration
