About this position

[4-year PhD studentship with annual stipend at the UKRI minimum rate (currently £21,805 per year) plus £1,000 per year enhancement, and a research training support grant of up to £20,000 for the full programme.]

This PhD studentship at The University of Manchester investigates why urinary tract infections become more prevalent during the menopause and how hormone-related changes alter competition between bacterial species in the bladder and urethra.

The project takes an interdisciplinary approach, bringing together mathematical modelling, microfluidic lab-on-a-chip experiments with cells, and bioinformatics and genomics to study how cell signalling shapes gene expression and microbial interactions. The research aims to understand how microbes sense and respond to biochemical and mechanical signals from both other microbial species and the host environment.

A further part of the work focuses on the design and use of microfluidic systems as tools for sensing and emulating disease, making this a project with both biological and engineering dimensions. The successful student will work under the main project supervisor, Dr Thompson, within a research environment that connects modelling, experimentation and computational analysis.

The project is described as a competition for funding and is expected to start in September 2027.
