Job title PhD Studentship - Living Sensors: Harnessing Mussel Behaviour and Machine Learning for Coastal Water Quality Monitoring. Company University of Exeter - Department of Biosciences. Description of the job The University of Exeter offers a fully funded EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award studentship for a PhD project developing next-generation environmental biosensors using mussels as living sensors for coastal water quality monitoring. The health of marine ecosystems is increasingly threatened by pollution, eutrophication, and harmful algal blooms (HABs), which have profound ecological and socio-economic impacts. This PhD project aims to transform an existing prototype technology into a deployable environmental monitoring solution. Building on recent innovation at Exeter, the project will translate a novel discrete gape-sensor unit into a fully integrated system for real-world deployment, where rapid detection of water quality deterioration is critical.
