The University of Lincoln is soon to announce a fully funded PhD studentship supported by Diabetes UK, starting in October 2026. This opportunity is ideal for UK-based graduates interested in immunology, cardiovascular biology, and diabetes research. The project will investigate why individuals with type 2 diabetes continue to face high cardiovascular risk, even with optimal lipid and glucose control, focusing on the concept of 'residual inflammatory risk.' Key research themes include immune-dri...

Three fully funded PhD opportunities are available in emerging pathogen research , with a strong focus on biological security , immunology , tissue engineering , and pandemic preparedness . The projects are based in Liverpool and are led by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the University of Liverpool , as part of an Integrated Health Security Cohort . The three research themes are: 1) T Cell Diagnostics — developing advanced cellular assays to detect exposure to high-consequence vir...

PhD opportunity at the University of Münster , Germany, in the Institute of Experimental Pathology, ZMBE , focused on neutrophil biology , emergency granulopoiesis , immunocoagulation , and thromboinflammation . The project asks how distinct neutrophil maturation states acquire disease-driving functions during infection and sterile inflammation. The successful doctoral researcher will work with mouse models of bacterial infection and thromboinflammation, spectral flow cytometry , multiplexed ant...

The 2026 ESPOD Fellowship Programme is open at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and the Wellcome Sanger Institute. This is a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship designed for researchers who want to build an independent project at the interface of computational biology and experimental science. The programme combines wet-lab and computational research, with joint supervision from scientists at both institutes. Research areas highlighted in the post include genomics, bioinformatics, com...
