PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Transcriptomics in Japan

This fellowship is based in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, in the Office of Biostatistics and Pharmacovigilance in Silver Spring, Maryland. The project sits at the intersection of bioinformatics, structural biology, and AI/machine learning, with an emphasis on improving scientific computing capabilities for biological data analysis. The fellow will work on developing novel algorithms and adapting existing tools to compute, analyze, and inter...

This postdoctoral scholarship at Karolinska Institutet is part of a project on heart regeneration in salamanders , with a specific focus on how regenerative programs are brought to an end in a controlled and timely way. The project investigates the role of cell-cell junctions, signaling, and mechanical cues in regulating regeneration in the salamander heart. Using the Iberian-ribbed newt as a model organism, the research group studies how the epicardium interacts with the cardiac muscle and how ...

[For eligible students, the studentship covers home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend.] This PhD studentship explores how anthropogenic contaminants interact with global change stressors to alter the role of zooplankton in marine biogeochemistry. The project focuses on key planktonic organisms, including copepods, and asks how exposure to mixtures of plastics, plastic alternatives and metals affects their physiology, behaviour and ecological functioning. The research is designed to co...

This postdoctoral position is based in the Cantù laboratory at Linköping University and is part of the Wallenberg Centre for Molecular Medicine and SciLifeLab. The project investigates how Wnt signaling regulates cell fate, with a particular focus on cancer forms that show constitutively active Wnt signaling. The successful candidate will study how the canonical Wnt pathway and the nuclear protein β-catenin generate different transcriptional responses depending on cellular context and developmen...

The University of Basel is offering a PhD position in the Plant Microbe Interactions research group within the Department of Environmental Sciences. The project examines how complex soil microbiomes influence plant growth and defence, with a focus on the genetic and immune mechanisms that allow some plant genotypes to benefit from particular microbiome communities. As part of the Swiss National Science Foundation project “Decoding plant growth in response to complex soil microbiomes” , the docto...

This postdoctoral project at Linköping University focuses on translational cancer metabolism and the metabolic interactions between tumors and host tissues. The research aims to deepen understanding of the metabolic mechanisms that drive cancer progression and metastasis by combining physiologically relevant human experimental models with quantitative metabolic approaches and multi-omics. The project centers on stable isotope tracing in human ex vivo models to follow active metabolic pathways an...

[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 4-year programme.] This PhD studentship at The University of Manchester investigates how microbes sense and respond to anthropogenic molecules released from discarded plastics. The project is framed around a major environmental and biological question: whether microbial communities can detect small-...

[Funded through the CENTA3 DLA by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). Funding covers an annual stipend, tuition fees at home-fee level, and a Research Training Support Grant. International students are eligible up to 30% of the cohort, but funding does not cover additional costs of moving or residing in the UK.] This PhD studentship focuses on the microbial cycling of lipids in the ocean, combining laboratory and field-based approaches to understand how marine lipid compounds are tr...

These two PhD fellowships are part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network Stripes&Stars at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (PLEN), University of Copenhagen . The positions sit within an AI-driven effort to uncover plant metabolic pathways linked to flower and fruit colour, with a particular focus on specialised metabolites such as anthocyanins and other flavonoids in petunia, calibrachoa, poinsettia and bilberry. The two doctoral candidates will form the computational ...
