PhD in AI-Driven Protein Engineering, Enzymology, and Structural Biology of Peptidase vs Ligase Activity University of Bath in United Kingdom

Adam Bentham at Durham University is recruiting for a fully funded 4-year Gatsby Sainsbury PhD studentship. The project focuses on designing plant immune receptors from scratch, combining AI protein design, structural biology, and plant immunity. This is a strong fit for students interested in biology, computer science, and protein engineering approaches to plant science. The post is shared by an academic who appears to be the supervisor/host for the opening. The opportunity is based at Durham U...

Basile Wicky at ETH Zurich is inviting applications for PhD and Postdoc positions through the ETH AI Center Doctoral and Postdoc Fellowship . The research focus is biomolecular design at the intersection of AI and biology (AIxBio), with interests in protein design and synthetic biology. This is a strong fit for candidates who want to work on computational and data-driven approaches to molecular and biomolecular engineering. The post is from an academic group leader/assistant professor who is dir...

EASTBIO(CASE) PhD project at the University of Edinburgh on engineering fluorescent non-canonical amino acids for quantitative imaging of protein therapeutics trafficking . This project addresses a key question in cell biology and biochemistry: how proteins are sorted, recycled, and degraded in the endolysosomal system, and how engineered biologics behave inside live cells. The research will develop genetically encoded, environment-responsive fluorescent amino acids and use fluorescence lifetime...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in drug discovery technologies , working directly with industry on new approaches using Adhiron reagents . The project sits at the interface of academic research and industry and focuses on developing new technologies for understanding and targeting proteins involved in disease. The successful candidate will work with techniques including protein engineering , phage display , and structural biology , with the aim of creating new reagents an...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in chemical biology , protein engineering , synthetic biology , and advanced imaging at the University of Edinburgh . The project is part of a 2027 intake and focuses on developing next-generation molecular tools to quantify protein/peptide trafficking in the endolysosomal system . The research uses genetically encoded, environment-responsive fluorescent amino acids and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) to study how proteins are sorted, recycled, and de...
