Opportunities

PhD in Engineering Crop Disease Resistance at Earlham Institute, UK

Earlham Institute · United Kingdom

This Earlham Institute PhD tests whether controlling the timing and location of resistance-gene expression can preserve crop protection while reducing growth penalties. Potato cyst nematodes provide t

PhD in Design Optimisation of Brushless Doubly Fed Machines at UEA

University of East Anglia · United Kingdom

PhD position at UEA focused on design optimisation of brushless doubly fed machines (BDFMs) for offshore wind turbine generators. Start date 1 February 2027.

PhD in Single-Cell Genomics of Euglena at Earlham Institute, UK

Earlham Institute · United Kingdom

This Earlham Institute PhD will map gene-expression changes across the Euglena gracilis cell cycle. It examines a protist whose regulation differs substantially from familiar plant and animal systems.

PhD in Exhibitions and Pollution Behaviour at University of Sheffield, UK

University of Sheffield · United Kingdom

This Sheffield ECOSOLUTIONS project investigates whether an exhibition about river pollution can change household behaviours. It builds on the Confluence for Change materials from the ECOMIX project.

PhD in Explainable AI for Plant Gene Expression at Earlham Institute, UK

Earlham Institute · United Kingdom

Earlham Institute is offering a PhD on using explainable AI to design regulatory DNA in plants. The project asks whether model explanations can reveal sequence rules that withstand biological testing.

PhD in Future Chemical Regulation at University of Sheffield, UK

University of Sheffield · United Kingdom

This Sheffield ECOSOLUTIONS project considers how chemical regulation might remain effective across changing social, economic and environmental conditions. It uses futures analysis rather than assumin

PhD in Genome Language Models for DNA Replication at Earlham Institute, UK

Earlham Institute · United Kingdom

This Earlham Institute doctorate investigates how genome sequences determine DNA replication origins. It combines computational prediction with synthetic-biology experiments in yeast.

PhD in Lateral Root Gene Regulatory Networks at Earlham Institute, UK

Earlham Institute · United Kingdom

Earlham Institute is offering a doctorate on the gene-expression events that establish lateral root founder cells. The project combines biological recording circuits with single-cell analysis.

PhD in Chemical Pollution Sensors at University of Sheffield, UK

University of Sheffield · United Kingdom

This Sheffield ECOSOLUTIONS doctorate develops optical sensors for continuous environmental chemical monitoring. Dissolved copper provides the initial case study.

PhD in Trustworthy AI for Tissue Gene Expression at Earlham Institute, UK

Earlham Institute · United Kingdom

The Blood2Tissue project at Earlham Institute investigates whether blood measurements can reliably predict gene-expression programmes in less accessible tissues. A central question is when individual
