About this position
Durham University is advertising a PhD opportunity in the Physics of Life area, focused on the molecular grammar of biomolecular condensates and bacterial aggresome droplets. The project asks how living cells organize molecules into tiny liquid-like droplets, how these structures change physical properties, and how bacteria may use them to survive antibiotics and harsh conditions.
The research is highly interdisciplinary and combines single-molecule microscopy, molecular biology, microbiology, and computational biophysics. It is aimed at understanding the physical and biological rules that govern droplet formation and function, with potential relevance to antibiotic persistence and the engineering of designer biomolecular materials.
Applicants from biosciences, physics, biophysics, chemistry, engineering, or related disciplines are encouraged to apply. The post says full training will be provided, making it suitable for students who are excited by interdisciplinary research across the life and physical sciences.
The opportunity is based at Durham University, UK. The post directs interested candidates to the full project details on FindAPhD and invites informal enquiries by email before applying.
