Florida International University is recruiting doctoral students for its Dietetics and Nutrition PhD program for Fall 2027. The program is designed for aspiring nutrition researchers, educators, and leaders seeking to develop independent research skills and pursue careers in academia, research, industry, or public health leadership. Research opportunities span clinical nutrition and metabolism, eating behaviors, chronic disease prevention, and community-based nutrition interventions. Students ca...

This postdoctoral position in microbiome and metabolism is based at the University of Gothenburg in the Department of Medicine . The project is centered on experimental metabolism research using mouse models, with a strong emphasis on how microbiome-related mechanisms connect to metabolic phenotypes and disease-relevant physiology. The successful candidate will work in a highly hands-on, laboratory-based environment focused on advanced in vivo studies. The role involves detailed metabolic phenot...

A PhD research fellowship is available in the Oral Physiology and Cancer Research Group (OPCG) at the Institute of Oral Biology, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo. The project examines how extracellular vesicles released by oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) influence normal cells, including endothelial cells, and whether these cells are reprogrammed toward a tumor-supporting phenotype. The research is centered on tumor-host communication and the biological effects of cancer-derived vesi...

The Yoshihara Laboratory at The Lundquist Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California, is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for interdisciplinary projects in endocrinology, metabolism, stem cell biology, animal physiology, and genomics. The laboratory integrates stem cell-derived artificial human organs, cultured cells, genetically modified model mice, physiological analyses, and genomic approaches. Its research investigates ontogeny and metabolic homeostasis while addressi...

The laboratory of Ulf Vang Ørom at Aarhus University is recruiting a 2-year postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics . The project explores how RNA contributes to the regulation of cellular pathways linked to metabolism , with a focus on the interplay between RNA, protein interactions, and epigenetics . The successful candidate will work with several experimental approaches, including high-throughput methods , and will investigate novel connections between RNA ...

The Integrated Research Training Group (iRTG) of TRR 333 – Brown and Beige Fat: Organ Crosstalk, Signalling and Energetics (BATenergy) at the University of Bonn offers an English-language doctoral programme in a highly multidisciplinary research environment. Doctoral candidates will work on the biological crosstalk between cell organelles, cells, tissues, and organs, with a focus on the systemic regulation of energy balance. The programme is part of a collaborative research network involving the...

PhD Student in Placental Biology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich’s Biomedical Center (BMC) in Munich. The project explores the earliest stages of post-implantation development, focusing on how the developing embryo and placenta begin exchanging signals. The research examines how chromatin regulation helps establish and maintain communication between embryonic and placental tissues. The doctoral researcher will use mouse genetics, stem-cell-based approaches and multi-omics to invest...

The Friesen group at the Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, within the NNF Center of Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) at the University of Copenhagen, is seeking a research assistant with the opportunity to continue into a funded PhD fellowship. The lab investigates how cells transition from a healthy state to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes, and how these processes might be reversed. Its research uses human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived in vitro d...

The Friesen group at the NNF Center of Stem Cell Medicine (reNEW) , within the Department of Biomedical Sciences and the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen , is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to work at the interface of stem cell biology and metabolism . The project focuses on understanding how cells move from a healthy state into insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes , and on exploring how that process can be reversed. The lab uses human pluripotent st...
