PhD opportunity at Aston University in cell membrane engineering for biotechnology , with a focus on biophysics , biochemistry , microbial fermentations , and industrial biotechnology . The project aims to alter microbial cell membranes to improve tolerance to bioprocessing stresses and increase product yields in industrially relevant microorganisms. The research combines in vitro assays , microbial cell culture , omics technologies , genetic engineering , and iterative strain design-build cycle...

PhD opportunity: Decoding Dynamic Plant Meristems at the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, with supervision from Dr Vanessa Wahl and Prof Henrik Jönsson. This project focuses on plant biology , developmental biology , plant cell biology , genomics , molecular biology , bioinformatics , and biotechnology . The research asks how the shoot apical meristem (SAM) changes during the floral transition, especially how carbon availability, hormones, meristem maintenance networks, and gene regulation are inte...

PhD opportunity: Engineering plant cell walls beyond the digestive range of a pest’s bacterial symbiont. This competition-funded PhD project focuses on plant cell wall engineering, pectin chemistry, symbiosis, entomology, microbial genomics, and molecular biology. The research asks whether modifying plant pectin so it falls outside the digestive range of a beetle’s bacterial symbiont can reduce insect feeding and protect plants. The project combines CRISPR/Cas9 editing, targeted gene overexpress...

University of Oxford is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Molecular Biology for an exciting synthetic biology project funded by a major new £6.7 million ARIA grant . The role focuses on the further development and application of DNA assembly technology to create synthetic organelle genomes , with real-world testing of synthetic chloroplast genomes in crop plants including potato and wheat . The work is linked to translation-oriented research with potential impact on disease resista...
