Fully funded PhD in genomic signatures underlying functional diversity in root symbiotic fungi Earlham Institute in United Kingdom

Earlham Institute in the UK is advertising 9 PhD studentships for an October 2027 start. The advertised research themes include plant gene regulation , genome language models , and fisheries pangenomics , making this a strong opportunity for students interested in the intersection of AI, biology, genomics, and computational life sciences . This is a PhD-level opening rather than a postdoctoral or master's call. The post does not provide detailed eligibility criteria, but the topics suggest a fit...

[Fully funded ARIES studentship covering Home fees, a maintenance stipend of £21,805 p.a. for 2026-27, and a £2,500 research training and support grant. Limited international applicants may receive a fee waiver for the difference between Home and International fees; relocation and UK living costs are not covered.] PhD opportunity at the University of Essex focused on virome dynamics and viral discovery in rehabilitated bats using longitudinal metagenomics. This fully funded ARIES studentship exa...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Biochemistry with Dr Susanne Bornelöv. This project focuses on gene regulation , bioinformatics , machine learning , artificial intelligence , genomics , and molecular biology . The Bornelöv lab studies transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation, including codon usage, codon optimality-mediated mRNA decay, genome organisation, and evolutionary genomics. The work combines multi-omics data analysis, comparative genomics, r...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in soil carbon, soil health, microbiology, and landscape transition . This funded CASE PhD project, supervised by Prof Brian Reid in the School of Environmental Sciences , builds on the UKRI OpenLAND project to investigate how nature-based solutions and land-use change affect soil carbon stocks , carbon stability , and soil microbiome responses . The research combines field and laboratory work, including dry combustion, thermogravimetric analysis,...

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in Deep Learning for time-series from genomic biodiversity projects , hosted by the School of Biology and supervised by Dr C Kosiol and Dr Rui Borges . This project sits at the intersection of biology , bioinformatics , evolutionary biology , genetics , ecology , zoology , and computer science . The research focuses on how populations adapt to changing environments using genomic time-series data, including samples from natural history museums, labo...
