Fully Funded PhD in One Health (Meta)genomics of E. coli-Associated Urinary Tract Infections in Pregnancy Quadram Institute Bioscience in United Kingdom

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol within the GW4 BioMed3 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership : Hidden codes: Genetic Determinants of HIV-1 Fitness and Immune Recognition . This project investigates how viral genetic sequences influence HIV-1 transmission efficiency , replicative fitness , and immune recognition , with a particular focus on Subtype C HIV and other non-subtype B viruses. The work combines viral genomics , bioinformatics , sequence analysis , evolution , immunology , mi...

We’re hiring a postdoc in antimicrobial resistance , bacterial genomics , and infectious-disease modelling at the University of Zurich in Zurich, Switzerland . This is a joint position between Thomas Van Boeckel (One Health Institute) and Adrian Egli (Institute of Medical Microbiology). The project has two connected parts: (1) analysis of large international genomic and AMR databases to detect possible pre-existing resistance to a newly developed class of thanatin-derived antibiotics targeting m...

University of Galway is advertising a Postdoctoral Researcher/Research Associate position in AI-enabled climate-health analytics within the Data Science Institute . The project aims to build a prototype early-warning system for climate-related health impacts in Ireland, with an initial focus on extreme heat and air quality . The research will integrate meteorological , environmental , and public-health datasets into a reproducible analytical pipeline. It combines epidemiology , statistical time-...

PhD opportunity at the University of Edinburgh in antibiotic resistance, plasmid dynamics, microbial evolution, and infectious disease dynamics . This EASTBIO-funded project asks what determines whether a resistance plasmid establishes and spreads in a new bacterial lineage. The work focuses on Enterobacterales across agricultural, environmental, and clinical reservoirs, with examples including Escherichia coli , Salmonella , and Klebsiella pneumoniae . The project aims to understand how plasmid...

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in the School of Biology / Biomedical Sciences Research Complex, as part of the EASTBIO BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. The project is titled “Mechanism and consequences of lethal zygosis in bacteria restricting AMR plasmids” and focuses on antimicrobial resistance (AMR), conjugative plasmids, restriction-modification (RM) systems, bacterial defence systems, plasmid transmission, and phage therapy. The research asks how defence-induced lethal ...
