๐ŸŒฑ Hartpury University are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for a fees-paid only, part-time PhD project focused on curlew conservation within UK agricultural landscapes. Addressing the significant decline in breeding curlew populations, this project will develop and evaluate a farmer-led Curlew Management Toolkit to support recovery in working farmland systems.
Using a collaborative, applied conservation approach, the project will explore how farmers engage with and implement conservation measures, combining social science methods with ecological knowledge. Working closely with farmers, conservation organisations, and policymakers, the research will co-design practical, evidence-based guidance that translates curlew conservation science into actionable on-farm practices. The toolkit will be tested to assess both its feasibility and its potential to improve breeding success for curlew. To find out more, reach out to Dr Lucy Garrett:

๐Ÿ† Hartpury University are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for a fees-paid only, part-time PhD project investigating concussion recovery and Return-to-Learn processes in educational sport settings. Addressing a growing welfare concern in contact and collision sports, this project will explore how students balance academic and athletic demands following head impacts.
While Return-to-Sport protocols are well established, approaches to Return-to-Learn remain underdeveloped. This project will take an integrated approach, examining biomechanical, physiological, and behavioural aspects of concussion recovery. Using applied, real-world settings, the research will assess sensorimotor function alongside symptoms and academic outcomes. Working with key stakeholders, the project will develop and evaluate a practical, evidence-based Return-to-Learn framework. It will also explore lived experiences of recovery and investigate how factors such as neurodivergence may influence recovery trajectories. This research offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to advancing athlete welfare and improving support systems within education and sport. To find out more, reach out to Dr Sam Oxford:

๐Ÿ”ฌ Hartpury University are pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for a fees-paid only, part-time PhD project exploring the links between the gut microbiome, behaviour, and wellbeing in dogs and horses. Building on growing evidence of the microbiomeโ€™s role in animal health, this project will investigate how microbial communities relate to behavioural traits and overall health status across species.
Using large-scale real-world datasets from canine and equine populations, the research will examine how factors such as diet, breed, age, and management influence microbiome composition, and how these patterns connect to owner-reported behavioural phenotypes. The project will also identify shared and species-specific microbiomeโ€“behaviour relationships in dogs and horses, helping to advance our understanding of animal welfare and performance.

โšฝ Hartpury University is pleased to offer an exciting opportunity for a fees-paid only, part-time PhD project exploring the experiences of women Futsal coaches in England. This project will take a collaborative approach to co-produce meaningful and contextually relevant educational interventions to support coach development.
Focusing on the lived experiences and learning biographies of women Futsal coaches, the research will identify key facilitators and barriers across intrapersonal, interpersonal, organisational, and socio-cultural domains. It will explore what, how, when, and with whom learning takes place, highlighting opportunities to better support women in the coaching workforce. Working closely with stakeholders, the project will co-develop, implement, and iteratively evaluate tailored educational interventions through participatory cycles of planning, action, and reflection. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to inclusive practice and meaningful change within sport coaching. To find out more, reach out to Dr Luciana De Martin Silva:
