PhDs in Environmental Biotechnology

PhD in WIMEK - Wageningen University - Environment and Climate Research

The Wageningen Institute for Environment and Climate Research (WIMEK Graduate School) aims to develop an integrated understanding of environmental change and its impacts on the quality of life and sustainability. The major research topics are (i) nutrients and micropollutants; (ii) environmental processes and ecosystem dynamics; (iii) global environmental change and (iv) sustainable development and social change

PhD in Environmental Science, Integrated PhD

Newcastle University

To enable science and engineering graduates to develop an advanced knowledge and understanding of one or more areas of environmental science through a combination of formal teaching and individual research. The programme is multidisciplinary and can be tailored to match the interests of individual students. Successful completion of this programme will enable you to engage in research and/or teaching in higher education, or to pursue a successful career, at a senior professional level, in other areas.

PhD in Biomass to Biofuel: Designing Yeast Strains Capable of Converting Energy Crops and Waste Products to a Useable Form of Biofuel

University of Dublin Trinity College

The goal of this project is to generate a microbe capable of producing cellulose-degrading enzymes and converting the released sugars to ethanol.

PhD in Environmental Science

Newcastle University

PhD supervision is normally available in the following areas: Environmental biology; Environmental change and management; Geosciences:; Marine sciences

PhD in Environmental Technologies for Contaminated Solids Soils and Sediments

University of Cassino

KEY FEATURES - 3-year PhD, leading to the degree “European PhD in Environmental Technology” - 180 ECTS doctoral training program, with a Training through education (45 ECTS) and Training through research (135 ECTS) component. - Joint PhD diploma of University Cassino (Italy), University Paris Est (France) and UNESCO-IHE (the Netherlands).

PhD in Molecular Microbiology PhD/MPhil

University of Birmingham

Research in Molecular Microbiology is concerned with understanding how bacteria survive and adapt in the environment. There is a particular focus on studying the bacterial cell envelope, gene regulation, bacterial motility, bioenergetics and the factors responsible for virulence and infection.

PhD in Alteration of Anthropogenic Particles in Soils

Charles University

High-temperature industrial processes and traffic are the most important sources of metals/metalloids dispersion in the environment and soils represent an important sink for these anthropogenic emissions.

PhD in Impact of Invasive Alien Plants on Bird Communities

Charles University

Alien plants invade various habitats across the globe and they are among the most serious threatening factors for biodiversity. They affect interspecific interactions, population dynamics and ecosystem functioning in the native communities.

PhD in Environmental Sciences

University of Essex

This allows students to undertake research in the field of environmental sciences.

PhD in Plant Genetics and Cell Biology PhD/MPhil

University of Birmingham

A broad range of cell biology, genetics and biochemistry approaches are used in combination with transcriptomics and proteomics and state-of-the-art microscopy.

PhD in Advanced Methods in Biotechnology and Biodiversity

University of Silesia in Katowice

PhD students will have the opportunity to choose among thirteen courses provided by various labs of the Faculty. Additionally, the students will have the opportunity to improve their presentation skills attending the Effective presentation workshop. They will also participate in departmental and faculty seminars, as well as in a selection of lectures provided by guest researchers in the framework of the Lifelong Learning Programme - LLP/Erasmus.

PhD in Bio-geochemistry

CEA/INSTN
