PhD Studentship: A Hostile Niche: How Mutant Blood Stem Cells Damage Their Healthy Neighbours
University of East Anglia·Norwich
As people age, some blood stem cells acquire mutations that give them a growth advantage over their normal counterparts. Our recent work suggests the mutant cells don't just outgrow their neighbours, they actively reshape the bone marrow around them. This change causes a function…
PhD Studentship: Towards Near Real-time Quantification of Fossil Fuel Emissions
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Successful implementation of the Paris agreement relies on countries’ emissions being accurately known and readily available, but our ability to evaluate fossil fuel CO2 (ffCO2) emissions is currently limited. ‘Bottom-up’ emissions estimates, based on inven…
PhD Studentship: Balancing Wheat Rust Resilience and Soil Microbial Diversity
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Plant-microbe relationships are shaped by complex, root-exuded metabolites that vary by host genotype and can be augmented to enhance agricultural productivity. In modern agriculture, an emerging, environmentally friendly strategy to enhance resilience to p…
PhD Studentship: Arctic Wintertime Storms in a Changing Climate
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Polar mesoscale cyclones are smaller scale (<1000 km) rapidly developing Arctic storm systems that occur over sub-polar and polar waters. They are challenging to forecast and a significant natural hazard for people living or visiting polar regions. The stro…
PhD Studentship: Winds and Waves in the Alpine Mountains
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Mountains (or "orography") have a substantial effect on the atmospheric circulation. This includes atmospheric disturbances known as orographic gravity waves, generated by the winds flowing over orography. These waves propagate upwards and eventually become…
PhD Studentship: Soil Carbon and Soil Health Through Landscape Transition
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Nature-based solutions (NBS) delivered through land-use change can create new habitats, enhance biodiversity, and increase carbon sequestration at landscape scales. Your research will build upon the UKRI OpenLAND project (£4m - 2024-27 - https://tyndall.ac.…
PhD Studentship: Antarctic Glacial Meltwater and its Importance for Ocean Circulation and Climate
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: West Antarctica’s fast-melting ice shelves release fresh water into the shelf seas that surround the continent (Sheehan et al., 2023). This alters circumpolar and global ocean currents by affecting temperatures and salt concentrations; it can even alter the…
PhD Studentship: One Cell at a Time: Uncovering Enhancer Control of Blood and Cardiovascular Fate Using Single-cell Multi-omics
University of East Anglia·Norwich
The cardiovascular system - comprising the heart, blood and blood vessels - is the first functional organ system to form during vertebrate development. Cardiac progenitor cells generate the heart, while hematoendothelial progenitors produce blood and vascular endothelium. Althoug…
PhD Studentship: Future-proofing the Environment: Evaluating the Environmental Impacts of Next-generation Plastics
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Increasing production, low recycling rates (below 10%), and single-use packaging are driving a global crisis in plastic pollution, with millions of tonnes of plastic accumulating in ecosystems each year. In response, governments and industry are investing h…
PhD Studentship: The Cycling of Climate-active Sulfur Compounds by Major Crops
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is known as a marine anti-stress compound made by algae and bacteria. It has key roles in global nutrient and sulfur cycling, signalling, and microbial DMSP catabolism releases climate-active gases (CAG), notably dimethylsu…
PhD Studentship: Empowering Green Seaweeds as Beneficial Health Products
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Introduction: Demand for natural weight loss remedies is exceptionally high. Central Pharma Biotechnica (Biotechnica) mass process brown seaweeds to produce plant biostimulants and potential weight loss products but ignore green Ulva seaweeds that are richer in health-promoting s…
PhD Studentship: Ecosystem Responses to Changes in Ocean Circulation

Marine ecosystems are highly sensitive to the rapid physical reorganisation of the ocean under climate change. Large-scale circulation changes, including a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and strengthening in Southern Ocean upwelling, combined with in…
PhD Studentship: Deciphering the Formation, Emplacement, and Ore-Forming Processes of the Rogaland Anorthosite Complex, Norway
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Anorthosites represent one of the most unique and widely debated rock formations in Earth's crust. They are characterised by their almost monomineralic plagioclase composition, making them unusual among intrusive bodies. These rocks have been central to adv…
PhD Studentship: Postreproductive Maternal Care and the Evolution of Sex Differences in Lifespan
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background Why do some animals continue to live long after they have stopped reproducing? Classical evolutionary theory predicts that they should not. The force of natural selection on survival declines with age and falls to zero once reproduction ceases, so organisms …
