Fully Funded PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: Unlocking Transcription Factors at University of Bath University of Bath in United Kingdom

University of Bath is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in an interdisciplinary project focused on mammalian cell biology , molecular biology , chemical biology , and peptide screening . The work will develop innovative intracellular peptide screening technologies to investigate and modulate transcription factor function in living mammalian cells. The post is hosted in Professor Jody Mason's research group at the University of Bath and is funded through a new BBSRC Pioneer Award . The...

Funded PhD project at the University of Cambridge , Department of Chemistry, in the Mateo Sanchez Lab . The project sits at the interface of chemistry, cell biology, neuroscience, protein engineering, synthetic biology , and molecular biotechnology. The research will focus on developing new molecular tools using directed evolution , protein design , and novel selection/screening strategies to create new protein chimeras. Depending on the candidate’s interests and project progress, the work may i...

University of Oxford is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Molecular Biology for an exciting synthetic biology project funded by a major new £6.7 million ARIA grant . The role focuses on the further development and application of DNA assembly technology to create synthetic organelle genomes , with real-world testing of synthetic chloroplast genomes in crop plants including potato and wheat . The work is linked to translation-oriented research with potential impact on disease resista...

PhD opportunity: Engineering plant cell walls beyond the digestive range of a pest’s bacterial symbiont. This competition-funded PhD project focuses on plant cell wall engineering, pectin chemistry, symbiosis, entomology, microbial genomics, and molecular biology. The research asks whether modifying plant pectin so it falls outside the digestive range of a beetle’s bacterial symbiont can reduce insect feeding and protect plants. The project combines CRISPR/Cas9 editing, targeted gene overexpress...

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in the School of Biology: Eastbio: Cracking the Collagen Code: Engineering Enzymes to Control Peptide Generation . This collaborative CASE PhD with Planetfix focuses on biochemistry , biotechnology , enzymology , protein engineering , and analytical science . The project investigates how enzymes process collagen-rich proteins, how enzyme-substrate interactions affect peptide generation, and how to improve methods for characterising protein hydrolys...
