United Arab Emirates University is seeking a PhD candidate in the field of Computational Systems Biology, supervised by Associate Professor Mohammad Tauqeer Alam. The PhD program will begin in Fall 2026, with admissions opening early next year. This opportunity is ideal for students interested in computational approaches to biological systems, omics, and bioinformatics. Applicants should have an MSc degree in Biological Sciences, preferably with a specialization in Bioinformatics. Proficiency in R programming is required, and an IELTS score of 6.5 or higher is mandatory. Candidates with research publications are encouraged to mention them in their application. The research will focus on computational systems biology, integrating omics data, and leveraging programming skills to address biological questions. Interested candidates should contact Dr. Mohammad Tauqeer Alam and include their CV. The position is based at United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain, UAE. This is a great opportunity for those aiming to advance their research career in computational biology and bioinformatics within a leading institution in the United Arab Emirates.

The United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) is inviting applications for a postdoctoral fellowship focused on climate action as part of its second cycle of the UAEU Postdoc Fellowship on Climate Action. This opportunity is ideal for candidates with a background in computational biology or related fields who are interested in contributing to climate-related research and solutions. The fellowship covers a broad range of research areas, including climate finance and carbon markets, renewable and clean energy systems, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), climate-resilient agriculture and food security, water sustainability and circular resource management, climate modeling and adaptation strategies, green infrastructure and sustainable urban systems, climate policy and governance, climate change and public health resilience, and the application of artificial intelligence and digital technologies for climate action. The position is supervised by Associate Professor Mohammad Tauqeer Alam, an expert in systems biology and omics at United Arab Emirates University. The fellowship is designed to support innovative research that addresses urgent climate challenges, leveraging computational and interdisciplinary approaches. Applicants are expected to have a PhD in computational biology or a closely related discipline, with demonstrated research experience in one or more of the listed areas. Strong skills in research proposal development and a commitment to advancing climate action are highly valued. While specific funding details are not provided, postdoctoral fellowships at UAEU typically offer a stipend and research support. The initial proposal submission deadline is November 20, 2025. Interested candidates should prepare a research proposal aligned with the fellowship's research themes and submit their application materials to [email protected]. For more information, candidates may contact Professor Alam or refer to the provided LinkedIn links. This fellowship offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of computational biology, environmental science, and digital technologies, contributing to impactful climate action research at a leading institution in the United Arab Emirates.
