PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Click-to-Connect Cytochromes: Modular Components for Sustainable Electrical Circuits . This project sits at the intersection of biochemistry , biophysics , biotechnology , molecular biology , physical chemistry , and structural biology . The research will engineer cytochromes for site-selective covalent linkage to multiple redox partners and electrodes, aiming to create proof-of-principle protein-based electronic circuitry. The work builds on p...

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in a CASE project on combined chemical and biological treatments for man-made plastics . The project sits within the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership and is supervised by Prof Timothy Bugg and Prof Sébastien Perrier . This research combines polymer degradation , microbiology , biochemistry , materials science , and polymer chemistry to develop new approaches for recycling and treatment of plastic waste. The work will investigate c...

🚨 PhD opportunity in microbiology , materials science , and environmental sustainability at Queen's University Belfast . The project, titled “Can bio-based additives enhance microbial recruitment and degradation of plastics without compromising performance?” , will investigate whether components inspired by natural polymers can promote microbial colonisation and improve plastic biodegradation while preserving key material properties. The student will work on developing and characterising novel c...

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick through the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP) programme. This interdisciplinary project is titled Engineering antimicrobial polymers for prosthetic joint infection and sits at the intersection of polymer chemistry , microbiology , biomaterials engineering , and medical science . The research asks whether bone cement can be engineered to resist bacterial attachment and biofilm formation , while still maintaining the mechanic...
