Fully Funded PhD in Crop Resilience, Biotechnology and AI Agrotecnio – CERCA Center in Spain

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has an open postdoctoral research position in genomics with Professor Mark Tester. The project focuses on analyzing large genome resequencing datasets to quantify non-homoeologous recombinations in synthetic allotetraploids, especially in the Solanaceae and Cucurbitaceae . The research also aims to identify the molecular and/or genomic basis for differences in recombination rates between different lines. This opportunity is best suited t...

PhD opportunity at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Barcelona, Spain. This funded PhD project is part of the CRG International PhD Programme 2027 and focuses on decoding the molecular rules by which sensor proteins can monitor highly diverse and specific environmental chemicals . The project combines large-scale mutagenesis and functional data generation , AI-enhanced evolutionary modeling , and engineering of chemically inducible protein folds . It is a strong fit for candidates interes...

Three PhD positions starting in 2027 in computational plant biology and AI at the University of Copenhagen , in the Mutwil Lab (Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Frederiksberg, Denmark). The projects sit at the intersection of plant biology, bioinformatics, AI, knowledge graphs, regulatory networks, multi-omics, and comparative/evolutionary analysis. Possible research directions include: knowledge graphs and gene function (connecting plant literature with molecular data to predict ...

Join the AI in Genomics Summer Internship at AstraZeneca’s Centre of Genomics Research (CGR) in the Greater Cambridge Area. This opportunity allows interns to work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, genomics, and drug discovery, applying advanced computational methods to large-scale genomic data. Interns will collaborate with leading scientists in a world-class research environment, gaining hands-on experience in bioinformatics, data science, and genomics research. The program is id...
