PhD Studentship - Algae PhDs fellowship UK

 PhD Studentship - Algae        Dr Jonathan Lee ,  Dr Gary Stephen Caldwell  Friday, May 31, 2024  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide) About the Project PhD project part of the  CDT in Process Industries: Net Zero . The successful PhD student will be co-supervised by academics from the  Process Intensification Group  at Newcastle University.  Microalgae are playing increasingly prominent roles in wastewater bioremediation, where their well-known ability to absorb metals, nitrogen and phosphorous is used in solar driven processes that clean up the wastewater. A process co-developed by Newcastle University and Northumbrian Water Ltd (NWL) and installed at the Bran Sands treatment works on Teesside, uses an ammonophilic microalga ( Chlorococcum  sp.) originally isolated from Bran Sands to remediate ammonium from the site’s anaerobic digesters. The process is stable, well characterised, and is being implemented at scale. It is central to NWL’s nutrient neutrality and net zero ambitions

  Postdoctoral Associate OR Research Scientist (with BS/MSc) position to work on pollination biology (entomology, horticulture or plant sciences) at University of Florida United States;   in Dr. Rachel Mallinger’s lab at UF. Description:  The successful applicant will lead research for a grant-funded project exploring pollinator movement and behavior, pollen flow, pollination success, and yield parameters in blueberries under varying cultivar diversity and spatial arrangements. There is the potential for the successful applicant to incorporate additional research related to insect pest movement and herbivory or disease spread in this system, or to investigate pollination biology in other crop and non-crop habitats. The successful applicant will assume a supervisory role and will oversee and mentor undergraduates working on the project. The position may also involve collaboration and coordination with graduate students in the lab. Additional duties, and qualifications for, each level of

PhD Fully Funded Position in Soil Microbiology at University of Tübingen in Germany

PhD Fully Funded Position in Soil Microbiology at University of Tübingen in Germany PhD Fully Funded Position in soil microbiology at University of Tübingen in Germany; Department of Geoscience Faculty of Science, The Soil Microbial Interaction Group at the University of Tübingen offers an open PhD position (f/m/d, E 13 TV-L, 65%) ‘Biophysics of phage dispersal and their biogeochemical fate in soil’ We are recruiting a PhD candidate with experience and interest in soil microbiology and geochemistry to investigate the interactions between soil properties and bacteriophage mobility. This position is embedded within the larger project “The devil in the details: Phage microhabitats as drivers of soil biogeochemistry”. There is growing recognition that phages are key players in soil ecology and organic matter cycling, but the environmental factors that drive phage traits and their influence on microbial function are unknown. The successful candidate will establish a collection of characteri

Fully Funded PhD in Understanding the solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) signal of tree canopies from remote sensing data, Germany

  Fully Funded PhD in Understanding the solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) signal of tree canopies from remote sensing data Application Deadline: Open until filled Country: Germany Your Job: IBG-2 plays a globally leading role in retrieving and interpreting solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) measured with imaging and non-imaging sensors at different spatial scales (from leaf up to satellite observations) to monitor the dynamics in vegetation photosynthesis. In this context, the offered PhD position is embedded in a collaborative project together with partners from the German Aerospace Center (PBA) and Bonn University (RSRG). The main goal of the collaborative project is to derive leaf biochemical and canopy structural information from optical and LiDAR data and use this information in the 3D Discrete Anisotropic Radiative Transfer (DART) model to disentangle the functional (photosynthetic) and structural (architectural) contributions to forest canopy SIF derived from remote sensing observa

Fully Funded PhD Position in genomics of Arctic alien plants, NTNU University Museum

  Fully Funded PhD Position in genomics of Arctic alien plants Application Deadline: 1 April 2024 Country: Norway About the job The NTNU University Museum is seeking a highly qualified, ambitious, and motivated PhD candidate for a project focusing on genomics of Arctic alien plants. The project will focus on target alien plant species and seek to uncover their genomic basis of adaptation to the Arctic environment and how it relates to their invasiveness. A warming climate, changes in soil properties, and rising human activity in the Arctic increase the probability of introduction and establishment of alien plant species. In high-Arctic Svalbard and other Arctic regions, the wintercress (Barbarea vulgaris) is an established and naturalised alien species. Hypotheses for its success include multiple introductions from different genetic sources, enemy release advantage related to plant defense compounds, and shifts in adaptive traits. The Phd project will develop genomic datasets, making u
