Funded PhD Positions and Postdoctoral Vacancy in Atomic Force Microscopy of Bacterial Surfaces and Industrial Filtration Membranes University College London in United Kingdom

Aston University is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Associate position in membrane protein folding and assembly within the Aston Institute for Membrane Excellence (AIME) in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The project is part of a newly funded BBSRC Pioneer Award and focuses on the fundamental principles governing mammalian membrane protein biogenesis . The successful candidate will use dynamic mass photometry (DMP) , a label-free single-particle tracking technique, together with cell-free method...

PhD position in Biophysics / Medical Microbiology at Hannover Medical School (MHH), Germany . The Clinical Department of Dental Prosthetics and Biomedical Materials Science, led by Prof. Meike Stiesch , is offering a PhD position in the DFG-funded project “Deciphering microbe-material-interactions: Shear force-dependent and time-resolved mechanisms of oral bacterial adhesion to implant surfaces” . The work is based at the Lower Saxony Center for Biomedical Technology, Implant Research and Develo...

PhD opportunity in bioengineering kidney tubules at the University of Warwick , in collaboration with the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership. This funded PhD project focuses on bioengineering, biology, biomedical engineering, materials science, and biomechanics to understand how extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and synthetic ECM-like materials regulate tubule shape, stiffness, and morphogenesis during embryogenesis. The project uses Drosophila melanogaster embryonic Malpigh...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Glasgow in Biomedical Engineering , Rheology , Biophysics , and Mechanobiology . The project asks whether the mechanics of tissues can reveal disease by measuring how biological tissues deform, flow, and relax. The research builds on i-Rheo-Indent technology to uncover mechanical biomarkers of disease through rapid, broadband viscoelastic measurements. The work sits at the intersection of fundamental physics, soft matter, biomedical engineering, ...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Chemistry, based in Norwich, United Kingdom, on carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), starch digestion, enzymology, NMR, biophysics, and structural biology . This project, supervised by Professor Yaroslav Khimyak with a collaborative supervisory team in the Khimyak/Koev/Warren labs, investigates how CBM identity influences starch-binding affinity and hydrolysis kinetics. The research aims to connect carbohydrate hydrogel structure ...
