PhD Studentship in Animal Behaviour, Physiology, and Ecology of Antimicrobial Resistance in Wild Baboons Swansea University in United Kingdom

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...

🧬 PhD opportunity at the University of Leicester in microbial genomics , bacterial evolution , and antimicrobial resistance . This BBSRC MIBTP PhD project explores bacterial evolution and antimicrobial resistance using genomic and evolutionary approaches . It is a strong fit for students interested in microbiology, genomics, evolution, and computational/analytical approaches to biological data. Supervisor/announcer: Dr Sandra Beleza, Lecturer in the Department of Genetics, University of Leiceste...

Funded PhD opportunity at Coventry University in the Centre for Discoveries in Life Sciences, within the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP). This project is titled Combined Effects of Micro- and Nanoplastics and Environmental Contaminants on Skeletal Muscle Function . It sits at the intersection of Environmental Biology , Microbiology , and Nanotechnology , with a strong focus on skeletal muscle physiology, pollutant toxicity, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, ...

PhD opportunity at Harper Adams University in dairy cattle welfare , animal behaviour , and environmental enrichment . The project asks whether enriching the rearing environment of dairy heifers can improve welfare and whether those benefits continue into first lactation. The research will follow heifers from rearing through early lactation and will combine behavioural observations , precision livestock technologies , and measures of health and physiology . The aim is to generate practical recom...

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom on sporulation biology of a honey-bee pathogen . This project focuses on Paenibacillus larvae , the bacterium that causes American Foul Brood (AFB) in honeybee larvae. AFB is a serious notifiable disease in many countries, including the UK, and has major consequences for beekeeping and pollinator health. The research aims to build a deeper molecular understanding of how this spore-forming pathogen completes its life cycle ...
