PhD Studentship: CENTA 2027-B05 Novel ways to deal with the complexities of detecting selection for antimicrobial resistance under realistic natural conditions University of Birmingham in United Kingdom

Funded PhD project at the University of Warwick (Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership) on modelling interactions between human and livestock movement and tropical disease ecology . The project is supervised by Dr Emma Davis and Dr Erin Gorsich and is based in Coventry, United Kingdom . This PhD sits at the intersection of biology , mathematical modelling , statistics , environmental science , and public health . The research focuses on nomadic pastoralist movement in Africa and ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in communication, competition and resilience in structured bacterial communities . This funded PhD project sits at the intersection of biology , mathematical modelling , microbiology , and environmental science . Working with Dr Albane Thery and Dr Munehiro Asally , the project investigates how bacterial biofilms communicate and reorganise under stress. The research focuses on long-range signalling in E. coli biofilms, including electrical waves, nutr...

Cardiff University School of Biosciences is advertising an MSCA PhD studentship in the area of biotic interactions and response diversity , with a planned start in April 2027 . The project, led by Fredric Windsor (Senior Lecturer, Cardiff University), asks whether interactions between organisms can homogenise responses and reduce response diversity at the community level. The research will combine modelling and experiments , making it a strong fit for students interested in ecology, environmenta...

Durham University’s Department of Biosciences invites applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Environmental Engineering and Microbiology to join CARMA, the Co-selection of Antimicrobial Resistance by Metals Alliance. CARMA is a UKRI-funded, transdisciplinary research programme investigating how metal pollution in rivers and wastewater can co-select for antimicrobial resistance, and what this means for human health, environmental regulation, and intervention. The programme brings to...

PhD opportunity at the University of Oxford (Botnar Research Centre / NDORMS / Centre for Statistics in Medicine) on clinical prediction models , external validation , transportability , reproducibility , medical statistics , epidemiology , and prediction model updating . The project asks when a prediction model can be transferred across healthcare settings without losing performance, and how differences in patient case mix, clinical setting, or time period affect discrimination and calibration....
