About this position
📢 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 primarily at the Manufacturing Futures Lab, UCL East, with additional activities at the Department of Microbial Diseases, UCL Eastman Dental Institute, and Royal Free Hospital, London. Collaboration is also planned with Dr Mark Sutton at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA).
This opportunity is aimed at a motivated candidate interested in interdisciplinary research at the interface of medicinal chemistry and microbiology, and in developing new approaches to one of the major global challenges in public health.
Eligibility: applicants should normally have, or be on track to obtain, at least a UK 2:1 degree or equivalent in medicinal chemistry, microbiology, or a relevant discipline. International candidates are welcome, subject to CDT funding eligibility requirements.
Funding: fully funded PhD studentship, described as a 4-year studentship.
Deadline: 13 December 2026.
How to apply: review the UCL CDT AMR website for eligibility and application guidance, then submit your application via the provided link.
