PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Computational Biology in Portugal

MIND-MAP (Microglia Integrative Network of Dynamics – Morphology, Analysis, and Prediction) is an interdisciplinary and international FWF WEAVE project led across groups in Austria, Poland, and the Czech Republic. The project studies how the dynamic 3D morphology of microglia reflects functional states in the healthy adult brain. The postdoc will join a research effort that combines state-of-the-art microscopy, machine learning, numerical modeling, and topological data analysis to build next-gen...

Indiana University Bloomington invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the laboratory of Dr. David Kehoe in the Department of Biology. The project investigates the DNA-binding activity of a new class of photoreceptors in marine Synechococcus , combining DNA/protein biochemistry with computational approaches. The research will determine the DNA-binding sites and light-color-regulated binding activities of two novel photoreceptors identified as master regulators of Type 4 Chro...

This research opportunity at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service in Kerrville, Texas focuses on the Asian longhorned tick ( Haemaphysalis longicornis ) and the poorly understood mechanisms of somatic sex differentiation in this invasive ectoparasite. The participant will work on a computational and molecular biology project aimed at integrating large datasets to predict gene interactions and uncover regulatory networks involved in sex determination. The project emp...

Vicente Pelechano’s Research Group at Karolinska Institutet is offering a postdoctoral scholarship in computational and structural RNA biology. The project sits at the intersection of RNA biology, computational biology, and genome-wide method development, with a strong emphasis on how RNA sequence and structure shape gene regulation and cellular phenotypes. The successful candidate will work on understanding how variation in untranslated regions, especially alternative 3′ UTR isoforms and natura...

This postdoctoral fellowship is hosted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service at the Subtropical Horticulture Research Station in Miami, Florida. The project focuses on improving disease resistance in cacao ( Theobroma cacao ) by combining molecular plant pathology with computational biology and AI-enabled analysis. The research centers on understanding cacao defense mechanisms and identifying genetic and molecular factors that can strengthen resistance against pat...

The University of Queensland is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Bioinformatics and Research Software Engineering to join the Integrated Design Environment for Advanced Biomanufacturing (IDEA Bio), based at the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology. The fellow will work with the LEARN team in a collaborative research environment focused on synthetic biology, advanced biomanufacturing and data-driven bioprocess optimisation . The project involves transforming ferment...

The Zhang Lab at Saint Louis University is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow for research at the intersection of bioinformatics, comparative genomics, structural analysis, and machine learning. The position is centered on independent computational research with an emphasis on protein bioinformatics, evolutionary analysis, and structural bioinformatics, alongside the development and application of machine-learning approaches. The fellow will contribute to manuscript and grant preparation, includin...

The Koplev lab at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and SciLifeLab is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to develop computational methods for studying human tissue architecture using single-cell and spatial transcriptomics. The project sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and spatial biology, with a focus on how cells organize into complex human tissues and how computational approaches can reveal that organization in health and disease. The research is centere...

This opening is for a highly accomplished senior postdoctoral researcher to help lead a causal target validation program at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney. The project sits at the interface of functional genomics, mechanistic biology, and translational therapeutic discovery, using large-scale genomic insights to uncover how genetic variation alters gene regulation, cellular states, and disease biology. The work builds on the TenK10K initiative, described in the advert as the ...
