Wageningen University & Research advertises a PhD position on impact evaluation of climate policies in agricultural and forest landscapes, within the EU Horizon project PolicyForClimate. The project assesses how climate policies - from payment schemes to regulation - change land-use decisions and emissions across agricultural and forest landscapes, combining econometric impact evaluation with land-systems modelling and case studies across Europe and partner regions.
✓ Fully Funded€3,204/month gross in year 1, rising to €4,051 (CAO scale P)
TU Delft invites applications for a PhD position on indoor thermal natural variation for heat resilience, within the NWO-funded Nature 4 Homes programme. Conventional comfort standards assume near-uniform indoor temperatures, yet naturally ventilated homes show large spatial and temporal variation during heatwaves - variation that may actually be tolerable, or even beneficial, when managed well.
Lund University invites applications for a doctoral student in industrial design with a focus on strategic design. The project examines design as a strategic resource in organisations and society, studying how design competence shapes decision-making, innovation processes and long-term organisational direction.

✓ Fully FundedSalary per Swedish collective agreement (typically SEK 32,000–35,000/month initial)
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.
Cranfield University is offering an EPSRC-supported doctorate on how legumes affect nitrogen availability in regenerative arable rotations. The research connects soil processes with crop performance and greenhouse-gas mitigation.
Fully funded four-year CRUK Manchester Institute PhD in leukaemia biology, October 2027 intake. Tax-free stipend GBP 21,113-23,294 per year plus fees. Deadline: 6 November 2026, 17:00 GMT.
Employed PhD position in limnology at Uppsala University (ref UFV-PA 2026/2846): process-based modelling of phytoplankton succession in lakes. Deadline: 25 November 2026.
✓ Fully FundedSalary per Swedish collective agreement (typically SEK 32,000–35,000/month initial)
Fully funded four-year PhD at Chalmers University developing machine learning decoders for scalable quantum error correction within the QuBriC MSCA network.
This Liverpool–AFBI studentship investigates metabolic responses to methane-suppressing feed additives in beef cattle. It is advertised for UK students who meet the stated eligibility requirements.
This Wageningen doctorate examines the militarization of societal resilience: how preparations for crisis and war reshape relationships between civilian institutions, communities and military actors. Applicants can apply without IELTS - selection is based on documents and an English interview, not a test certificate.
The Wenner-Gren Institutes at Stockholm University invite applications for a PhD student position in molecular biosciences. The institutes are the university's hub for experimental molecular biology, hosting research on gene expression, chromosome biology, infection biology, developmental systems and cellular stress responses.

Wageningen University & Research is investigating how moss traits influence fire ignition in peatlands and tundra. The doctorate connects plant ecology with the changing fire vulnerability of high-latitude ecosystems. Applicants can apply without IELTS - selection is based on documents and an English interview, not a test certificate.
Wageningen University & Research invites applications for a PhD position on the link between mountains, downstream agriculture and ecosystems globally. The project studies how mountain processes, from water supply to sediment and nutrient flows, shape agricultural systems and ecosystem outcomes far downstream, and how these connections change under climate and land-use pressure.
✓ Fully FundedEUR 3,204 - EUR 4,051 gross per month
Radboud University invites applications for a PhD position on multisynaptic plasticity in dendrites, based in the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. The project investigates how plasticity spreads across multiple synaptic sites on dendrites of hippocampal CA1 neurons, using advanced optical techniques including two-photon glutamate uncaging and genetically encoded biosensors.
TU Delft invites applications for a PhD position on natural building skins for heat resilience, part of the NWO-funded Nature 4 Homes research programme. As heatwaves intensify, Dutch and European housing needs envelope solutions that keep homes safe without relying entirely on mechanical cooling.
