PhD in Plant Immunity and Epigenetics at the University of Birmingham University of Birmingham in United Kingdom

PhD project at the University of Oxford on improving pollination services by commercial bumblebees in glasshouses. This DPhil project, hosted in the Department of Biology and supervised by Prof Geraldine Wright, focuses on bee behaviour, pollination efficiency, crop flowering, fruit set, bee welfare, and related ecological and physiological mechanisms in commercial glasshouse systems. The research is highly interdisciplinary and may include field and lab experiments, behaviour monitoring, physio...

Postdoctoral Researcher in Cancer Cell Plasticity and Functional Genomics at the VIB–KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology in Leuven, Belgium. The Laboratory for Functional Genomics and Gene Regulation, established in 2025, is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to investigate the molecular mechanisms and genetic dependencies underlying cancer cell plasticity, using pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) as the main model system. The project sits at the intersection of cancer biolo...

Our NRPDTP Doctoral Training Partnership PhD projects are now open for an October 2027 start , based with leading supervisors at the John Innes Centre and the wider Norwich Research Park network. This is a PhD opportunity in bioscience , with research themes likely spanning plant and microbial biology, molecular bioscience, and related life-science areas. The post highlights a doctoral training partnership environment, which is typically designed for research training with multiple supervisors a...

PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in plant parasite effectors , host-parasite interactions , and nanobody-based tools . This EASTBIO/BBSRC-funded project is hosted in the groups of Dr Jorunn Bos and Prof Paul Birch in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Dundee , with links to the James Hutton Institute. The project focuses on developing new tools to study how plant parasites deliver and use effector molecules during infection/infestation, and how these effectors inter...

EASTBIO PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in plant science, with a focus on how cereals make their skin: plant surface development, cuticle formation, epidermal cell differentiation, and stress resilience in barley. The project explores how land plants coordinate protective surface features such as the waxy cuticle, gas pores, and defensive epidermal structures. Using barley as the model system, the research will combine biochemical and molecular biology approaches with CRISPR-Cas gene...
