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

 PhD Fully Funded Position in Biochemistry and Analysis of Traits in Crop Plants at The Leibniz IPK Institute in Germany PhD Fully Funded Position in Biochemistry and Analysis of Traits in Crop Plants at the Leibniz IPK Institute in Germany; Referenznummer 17/02/24. The research group Metabolic Diversity focusses on the biochemistry and analysis of traits in crop plants that are critical for growth, development and the production of value-added compounds.  Our underlying goals are to isolate and characterize the pathways leading to increased performance in plants used for food, industry, and medicine.  We accomplish these tasks by incorporating multiple -omics based high-throughput approaches for both the analysis of small molecules and for gene discovery. The position on the Organic production of garlic – expanding the range of varieties through selection of plant genetic resources (ObiVonKnobi) is offered through funding supplied by the Federal Organic Farming Program (BÖLN) via the

PhD opportunity on modelling multi-trophic interactions in biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships at the University of Bern Institute of Plant Science, Switzerland

Image
 Fully Funded PhD Position in modelling multi-trophic interactions Application Deadline: 2 April 2024 Country: Switzerland Are you passionate about unravelling the intricate relationship between biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and the impact of multitrophic interaction? Here’s your chance to embark on an exciting academic journey at the University of Bern, with collaborations in Zürich and Paris! Position: Full-time PhD studentship for 4 years Salary: Standard SNSF salary for doctoral students Starting Date: September 1, 2024 Location: University of Bern, Institute of Plant Science The idea: This PhD project will be part of a bigger project, which aims to understand the context-dependency of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships with a primary focus on multitrophic interactions, eutrophication and spatial processes and scales. The successful PhD candidate will investigate the role of multitrophic interactions and eutrophication in shaping biodiversity-ecosystem function

Fully Funded PhD Position in Mapping checkpoint receptor function in Th17 cells in melanoma, United Kingdom

 Fully Funded PhD Position in Mapping checkpoint receptor function in Th17 cells in melanoma Application Deadline: 30 March 2024 Country: United Kingdom Award Summary 100% of home tuition fees paid and an annual stipend of £18,622. Overview Checkpoint inhibitors has been a standard of care for melanoma patients but approximately 30% of patients respond to these therapies. In order to improve therapy response, it is important to study the phenotype and function of the various immune cells that are involved in tumour immunity within the tumour microenvironment. In this PhD studentship, we aim to investigate how PD-1 regulates a type of immune cell known as CD4+ T helper cell that produces IL-17 cytokine (Th17 cells). We will investigate whether Th17 cells contribute or inhibit tumour immunity in experimental murine models of melanoma currently available within the laboratory within the context of checkpoint blockade. The student will learn cellular immunology techniques, biochemical and

Fully Funded PhD Position in Geotechnical Experimental Data, Netherlands

 Fully Funded PhD Position in Geotechnical Experimental Data Application Deadline: 30 April 2024 Country: Netherlands Job description The PhD position will be in the Section of Applied Geophysics and Petrophysics and is part of a multi-disciplinary research project funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) as part of the DeepNL research initiative Call 2b ( DeepNL ). As a PhD candidate you will be affiliated to the Section of Applied Geophysics and Petrophysics; however, you will mainly work in the Section of Dynamics of Solids and Structures within the same faculty. You will estimate the (shear) modulus reduction and damping ratio increase (MRDI) curves from geotechnical resonant column experiments on soil samples, using models that account for nonlinear wave propagation phenomena. Such models enable predicting the typical skewness of the frequency response curve due to softening as well as superharmonic resonances. Furthermore, a new algorithm will be designed to assign realistic sp

  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
