Fully Funded PhD in Fungal Secondary Metabolites and Antimicrobial Resistance (Microbiology, Chemistry, Bioinformatics) Swansea University in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the John Innes Centre within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership. This project, “From Defence to Antibiotic production: Uncovering New Roles for NLR Signalling in Multicellular Bacteria” , explores how nucleotide-binding and oligomerisation domain-like receptors (NLRs) function in Streptomyces beyond phage defence. The research aims to uncover broader roles in multicellular development , complex signalling networks , and the regulation of natura...

Imperial College London is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Molecular Bacteriology within the Department of Infectious Disease , Faculty of Medicine. The project is based in the group of Professor Andrew Edwards and focuses on how polymyxin antibiotics kill Gram-negative bacteria , with a strong emphasis on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) , bacterial membrane biology, genetic manipulation, and nanoscale imaging. This is a full-time, fixed-term 12-month research post, based on site...

📢 A fully funded PhD studentship is available in the group of Daniele Castagnolo at University College London (UCL), jointly supervised with Dr Dimitrios Evangelopoulos, through the 2027 cohort of the CDT in Engineering Solutions for Antimicrobial Resistance (CDT AMR). The project will focus on the development of novel antibacterial agents to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR), bringing together medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, microbiology, and biocatalysis. Research will be based primar...
