Overview

Join us for your MPhil or PhD in Biology. Our research-active academic staff will support you. Supervision is available in a number of research areas.

Ecology and conservation

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:

genetics

conservation

human-wildlife interactions

Biological, clinical and environmental systems modelling

The Biological, clinical and environmental systems modelling 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.

Applied and environmental biology

We conduct research on organisms and processes of commercial and environmental importance. Our experimental approaches include:

genomics

molecular biology

biochemistry

physiology

Your future

The School of Natural and Environmental Sciences has good contacts with industry. We host seminars and workshops, some of which are attended by visiting professors from industry.

Biology PhD students have the opportunity to participate in national and international conferences. You can supplement your income by undertaking undergraduate laboratory demonstrating.
