PhD in NLR Signalling, Streptomyces Biology, and Antibiotic Biosynthesis John Innes Centre in United Kingdom

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom, on spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) . This project explores how chromatin architecture, promoter-enhancer communication, boundary formation, insulation, and spatially restricted transcriptional states are coordinated as the embryonic genome becomes active. The work sits at the intersection of developmental genomics , chromatin biology , genomics ...

PhD opportunity at Quadram Institute Bioscience, Norwich, United Kingdom This project asks how fungi and bacteria communicate in cross-kingdom microbial interactions, focusing on Candida albicans and Fusobacterium nucleatum . The work is based in the Buscaino and Juge laboratories at the Quadram Institute and sits within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP). The research combines microbiology, genetics, genomics, biochemistry, bioinformatics, molecular biolo...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia (UEA), Norwich, United Kingdom in the School of Biological Sciences with Prof Jon Todd. This project investigates the cycling of climate-active sulfur compounds by major crops, especially maize, with a focus on dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), microbial DMSP catabolism, and the release of climate-active gases such as dimethylsulfide (DMS). The work combines plant biology, microbiology, environmental biology, analytical chemistry, bioinformatics,...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Evolutionary Genomics of Mimicry in Neotropical Catfishes , hosted by the School of Biological Sciences and supervised by Dr Martin Taylor . This project explores how mimicry evolves in Neotropical Corydoradinae catfishes, using comparative and population genomics to study repeated origins of similar colour patterns across more than 30 mimicry communities in South America. The research asks which genomic regions show divergent selection, whethe...

PhD opportunity in chemical communication and speciation at the University of St Andrews This EASTBIO-funded PhD project in the School of Biology focuses on pheromones, cuticular hydrocarbons, evolutionary genetics, bioinformatics, behavioural ecology, and speciation biology . The project is based at the University of St Andrews and is supervised by Prof Mike Ritchie and Dr N Bailey . The research asks how divergence in pheromone detection and production contributes to sexual isolation and rapid...
