Since you're a taxonomic type person why don't you link your favourite field with the (justifiably) trendy topic of genomic sciences? Cross-disciplinary. My suggested project would be to carefully redefine taxonomy genomically via comparative genomics.
This would be a bioinformatics type project which doesn't really go along with termite field work but this is exciting work that needs to be done. Define species, genera, families and higher taxa genomically. Look for core genomes, study genomic loss vs gain etc. If you can come to Australia you can do it in my lab
. But I suspect you wouldn't want a Masters or PhD under a creationist supervisor.
The down-side of the project is that you might discover created kinds as a natural outcome of the research
