Postgraduate research opportunities in Biological Sciences are available at the University of Edinburgh for PhD , MScR , and MPhil study. The School of Biological Sciences is based at King's Buildings campus and offers a broad, interdisciplinary research environment spanning cell biology, ecology and evolution, molecular plant sciences, immunology and infection, stem cell research, and quantitative biology/biochemistry/biotechnology. Students work with two supervisors and a thesis committee, wit...

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...

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 project at the University of Warwick in Coventry, United Kingdom , focused on Type VII ABC transporters and their roles in the bacterial cell envelope . The project explores unusual transporter systems from bacterial pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis , Listeria monocytogenes , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Research themes include structural biology , microbiology , bacteriology , cell biology , antimicrobial resistance , and bacterial virulence. Examples of relevant systems ...
