PhD Studentship: Mechanistic and Physiological Significance of Hfq in sRNA Regulation of Bacterial Denitrification University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

Our NRPDTP Doctoral Training Partnership PhD projects are now open for an October 2027 start , based with leading supervisors at the John Innes Centre and the wider Norwich Research Park network. This is a PhD opportunity in bioscience , with research themes likely spanning plant and microbial biology, molecular bioscience, and related life-science areas. The post highlights a doctoral training partnership environment, which is typically designed for research training with multiple supervisors a...

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 ...

Postdoctoral Researcher in Environmental Microbial Ecology at Aarhus University, Denmark The Department of Biology, Aarhus University, is inviting applications for a two-year, fixed-term postdoctoral position in environmental microbial ecology within the Section for Microbiology. The project investigates electrically conductive iron minerals in anoxic aquatic sediments and aims to identify and characterize the microorganisms associated with these minerals, with a focus on their phylogenetic iden...

PhD opportunity in astrobiology , microbiology , geomicrobiology , environmental science , and the study of extreme environments . The project asks how microbial life survives and grows in different brine compositions across low and sub-zero temperatures, and what these habitats can reveal about the potential for life beyond Earth. The student will join AstrobiologyOU and work on the project 2027-OU08: Exploring the limits of habitability from Antarctic brines to icy worlds . The research focuse...
