我们邀请在生物多样性和保护，农业环境和微生物学这三个主要研究领域中的MPhil和PhD研究项目的提案。我们的生物学博士生在我们积极的研究工作中扮演着非常重要的角色。我们对感兴趣的MPhil和PhD生进行指导，这些学生的兴趣与以下生物学领域的专业知识相匹配：生态与保护，生物学，临床和环境系统建模，应用和环境生物学。MPhil-全日制：最少12个月，兼职：最少PhD的24个月-全日制：至少36个月，兼职：至少72个月
We invite proposals for PhD research projects in our three main research areas of biodiversity and conservation, agri-environment, and microbiology. Join us for your PhD in Biology. Our research-active academic staff will support you. Supervision is available in a number of research areas. Our Ecology and Conservation Research group works to understand patterns observed in nature - species and habitats. This often includes anthropogenic effects.We collaborate with a variety of organisations concerned with species and habitat conservation, including statutory responsibility. We work with research partners and conservation practitioners from the UK and across the globe.Our research covers:geneticsconservationhuman-wildlife interactionsecologyThe Modelling, Evidence and Policy group focuses on analysing the structure and dynamics of complex biological and clinical systems. We have a specific interest in investigating spatially and temporally heterogeneous processes in biology. We are driven by practical problem-solving through the use of modelling. We research organisms and processes of commercial and environmental importance. Our experimental approaches include:genomicsmolecular biologybiochemistryphysiologySome examples of the commercial applications we develop include:natural products discoverycreation of novel antimicrobials and biopesticidessustainable methods of reducing food spoilagemicrobes involved in biofuel productionuses of microbes in bioremediation of polluted environmentsAs a Biology PhD student, you'll play an important role in our active research portfolio.
