PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Metabolism in Finland

This post-doctoral project at INRAE Centre Clermont - Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes focuses on nutrition-based strategies to restore the anabolic response of muscle to a meal. The work is centered on whether fermented foods developed in the DOMINO project can improve muscle recovery after immobilization in an aged rodent model. The successful candidate will coordinate and monitor an animal experiment using aged rats immobilized with casts, then assess whole-body and tissue-level metabolic responses. Thes...

This postdoctoral position combines laboratory management with research in aquatic comparative physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology . The successful candidate will join the WELL4CATCH project, which develops practical indicators and strategies to improve fish welfare in fisheries . The project is building new data and tools for assessing the welfare of wild-caught fish and is working toward a fish welfare classification framework that can support more consistent assessment and evidence...

This PhD project at Maastricht University and Maastricht UMC+ explores how nutrition, metabolism, and the immune system influence treatment response in periampullary tumors , including pancreatic cancer. The research focuses on the complex tumor-host interaction and asks how patient condition, nutritional status, metabolic state, and immune response shape outcomes and can inform more personalized care. The doctoral researcher will work across clinical and translational laboratory research , comb...

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...
