Are you holding Master’s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? University of Plymouth, Plymouth, England invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs / fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.
Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Effects of wetland management on aquatic biodiversity and water quality of Sites of Special Scientific Interest on the Somerset Levels and Moors
Summary of PhD Program:
Your research will explore how nutrients move through river systems and wetlands, with a focus on their impact on water quality and aquatic biodiversity. Fieldwork (1–2 days/week) will involve surveying aquatic plants and invertebrates, while lab work includes processing water and sediment samples using state-of-the-art analytical facilities. You’ll also be trained in advanced techniques such as drone-based macrophyte surveys and remote autosamplers for phosphorus monitoring.
Application Deadline: 30 June 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Numerical simulations of Lattice QCD
Summary of PhD Program:
The QCD theory describes the interaction of quarks and gluons. At low energy only bound states of quarks, such as the proton, are observed experimentally. The best way to solve QCD for the properties of the bound states of quarks is to discretize the theory by putting it on a lattice. The resulting equations are solved numerically using specialized Monte Carlo techniques. There are many applications that require the solution of QCD so that the standard model of particle physics can be tested, for example to help analyze experimental results from the LHC or the experiment to measure the properties of the muon at the Fermilab particle physics laboratory in the USA. The main project for the student will be the computation of the properties of hadrons using lattice QCD and high performance computers. The PhD student will further investigate the use of AI in the analysis part of a lattice QCD calculation by using techniques such as Gaussian Processes.
Application Deadline: 27 June 2025

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Rediscovering Lost Amphibians: Using eDNA to Detect Critically Endangered Frogs in Área de Conservación Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Summary of PhD Program:
Amphibians are among the most threatened vertebrates globally, with many species feared extinct due to habitat loss and emerging infectious diseases. However, some populations may persist undetected in remote and biodiverse regions like Área de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG), Costa Rica. This project will harness the power of environmental DNA (eDNA) to rediscover critically endangered Neotropical amphibians, including harlequin toads (Atelopus spp.), stream-breeding tree frogs (Hylidae), and elusive Neotropical salamanders (Plethodontidae).
Application Deadline: 30 July 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Dissecting the dual role of guanylate binding proteins in glioblastoma tumour cells and microenvironment
Summary of PhD Program:
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive and treatment-resistant form of brain cancer, with a median survival of less than 15 months despite standard-of-care interventions such as surgery, radiotherapy, and temozolomide (TMZ). Recurrence is nearly universal, driven by intrinsic tumour resistance and a profoundly immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment (TME). There is a critical need for novel therapeutic strategies that target both tumour-intrinsic mechanisms and immune evasion.
