University of Birmingham BISCA PhD Studentship in Artificial Intelligence 2025

This project will apply advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to environmental data to develop a predictive framework for biodiversity loss in freshwater ecosystems. It aims to quantify multi-stressor impacts on river ecosystem health across England to provide guidance on cost-effective adaptive management solutions. The research seeks to unveil measures capable of “bending the curve” on river biodiversity losses, integrating economic forecasts for holistic environmental management.

As a BISCA PhD student, you will develop transdisciplinary expertise, fostering your growth as a future leader in sustainability and climate action.
