PhD Studentship: Chemical Biology to Target Bacteria: Inhibiting Bacterial Growth by Controlling Cell Division Protein Interactions University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom, focused on the interface of medicinal chemistry , microbiology , and antimicrobial drug discovery . The project aims to develop novel antibacterial agents . The successful candidate will contribute to the design, synthesis, characterisation, and biological evaluation of bioactive compounds within a multidisciplinary research programme. This is a postdoctoral opening, not a PhD or Masters call. Appli...

📢 A fully funded PhD studentship is available in the group of Daniele Castagnolo at University College London (UCL), jointly supervised with Dr Dimitrios Evangelopoulos, through the 2027 cohort of the CDT in Engineering Solutions for Antimicrobial Resistance (CDT AMR). The project will focus on the development of novel antibacterial agents to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR), bringing together medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, microbiology, and biocatalysis. Research will be based primar...

Post-doctoral Fellow in Organic Chemistry at Lund University , Sweden. This postdoctoral opening sits at the interface of organic chemistry and chemical biology , with a strong focus on targeted protein degradation in bacteria. The project develops a modular chemical platform for BacPROTACs as a new strategy against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), aiming to design bifunctional molecules that recruit bacterial proteolytic machinery such as the ClpC:ClpP system to selectively degrade essential pro...

King’s College London is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Medicinal Chemistry within the Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and the Centre for Host-Microbiome Interactions . The project is a multidisciplinary drug-discovery collaboration between Professor Miraz Rahman and Professor Julian Naglik focused on discovering and optimising peptide and peptidomimetic inhibitors that neutralise candidalysin , a key virulence factor from Candida albicans . The post is based at Waterloo Cam...
