About this position
The University of Surrey, in collaboration with the Wessex One Health Doctoral Training Programme, is offering PhD opportunities for students interested in virology, microbes, immunity, molecular biology, and evolution. Professor Carlos Maluquer de Motes, a leading academic in virology, is involved in two exciting projects: one with Ana Reis focusing on how African swine fever virus (ASFV) evades host defences, and another with Miguel Hernandez exploring the mechanisms by which poxviruses, including mpox, initiate replication inside host cells. These projects are part of a broader set of 18 research opportunities within the DTP, covering a range of topics in discovery science and One Health.
The programme promises access to excellent labs, professional development, and the chance to work on cutting-edge research in the field of infectious diseases and host-pathogen interactions. While the post does not specify funding details, UK Doctoral Training Programmes typically offer fully funded studentships, including stipends and tuition coverage. Applicants should have a strong background in biological or biomedical sciences and a keen interest in the research areas mentioned. The application process involves reviewing available projects, contacting supervisors if needed, and applying through the official DTP portal. For more information, candidates are encouraged to visit the Wessex One Health DTP website and reach out to the supervisors involved.
