Postdoctoral Research Associate in Molecular Bacteriology and Polymyxin Antibiotics Imperial College London in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in Microbiology at the University of Exeter (Cornwall campus, UK) with Stineke van Houte and David Sünderhauf . The project focuses on bacterial communities , gene transfer , and how bacteria interact and exchange DNA, with work on the human pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae . The research is linked to developing a new biotechnology aimed at helping tackle the antimicrobial resistance crisis. This is a PhD opening for a prospective student starting in October 2027 . Applications are...

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick on ESKAPE pathogens , microbial survival, and the use of glycans and polysaccharides as nutrient sources. The project is framed around understanding how these virulent microbes persist in different environments and what carbon sources they exploit. This is a strong fit for students interested in microbiology , medical science , pathogen metabolism, and host/pathogen-related research. The post says the project is co-supervised with Willem van Schaik . ...

PhD opportunity at Queen's University Belfast in Engineering Bioactive Peptides for Vaginal Microbiome Restoration and Sustained Vaginal Delivery . This funded PhD sits in the School of Biological Sciences and is supported by the NorthWestBio DTP . The project investigates how engineered bioactive peptides can selectively shift disrupted vaginal microbiome models toward a more protective state, with a focus on vaginal microbiome , bioactive peptides , biofilm science , microbiology , epithelial ...

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University in the Cardiff School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences on designer proteins for targeting biofilm matrix carbohydrates and combating bacterial infections and antimicrobial resistance . The project focuses on biofilms formed by major pathogens including Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Staphylococcus aureus , and Streptococcus mutans . The research aims to design novel protein carbohydrate-binding domains that can recognize biofilm extracellular polysaccharide...

PhD opportunity at the University of Sheffield within the NERC-funded ECOSOLUTIONS Doctoral Focal Award . This project, supervised by Dr Ellie Harrison with Prof Jason Snape , Dr Amanda Porter , Prof Laura Carter , and Dr Ed Haynes , investigates the interactions between wastewater irrigation , pesticides , and the fate of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in agricultural fields. The research is interdisciplinary, linking microbiology , environmental chemistry , soil science , ecology , and policy-...
