PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Physiology in Switzerland

[Home tuition fees plus an annual tax-free stipend for eligible students.] This PhD studentship examines whether a mainland re-introduction of Britain’s Glanville fritillary butterfly could be made viable through a combination of genomic evidence and habitat assessment. The project focuses on a species that survives as a single metapopulation on the Isle of Wight and asks whether inbreeding depression and low genetic diversity may be limiting its long-term persistence. The researcher will work a...

This internship/fellowship is hosted by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD), the Department of Defense’s lead laboratory for medical chemical defense research. The project sits within a multidisciplinary research environment focused on chemical and acute non-kinetic threats and on developing medical countermeasures to prevent or treat their effects. Participants work under mentor guidance as part of a team studying toxic bioeffects and evaluating novel and sta...

Cardiff University Reader Jen Davies is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship beginning in September 2027. The project is broadly centred on sensorimotor function, frailty, ageing and allostatic load . The successful doctoral researcher will have scope to take ownership of the work and shape the project within these broad research areas. This offers an opportunity to develop an individually focused research direction while contributing to wider questions about physiological function, health...

This PhD position is based at the Department of Aquatic Resources at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU Aqua) and focuses on the management and conservation of critically endangered fish, with a particular emphasis on eel ( Anguilla ). The project addresses key knowledge gaps around trap and transport (T&T) , a management method used to support fish migration in river systems with barriers and to reduce turbine mortality for downstream-moving fish. The doctoral project is desig...

The University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar for the Gonzales Lab to investigate how light regulates vascular function in the choroid and how this mechanism may influence metabolic waste clearance from the retina in age-related macular degeneration. The project centers on understanding ocular vascular physiology and choroidal signaling using a broad experimental toolkit that combines ex vivo pressurized vascular and intact tissue preparations, high-resol...

The University of Nevada, Reno is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar in Physiology to join research on how blood flow is regulated in the brain and retina in health and disease. The project spans neurovascular signaling and disease-focused questions relevant to Alzheimer’s disease , neurodevelopmental disorders , and brain tumor–vascular interactions . The successful fellow will lead in vivo and ex vivo studies using advanced physiological and imaging approaches. The work includes cranial window ...

The University of Oldenburg is offering a doctoral researcher position in microalgal systems biology within the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM), based in the General and Molecular Microbiology group led by Prof. Dr. Ralf Rabus. The research is part of the Lower Saxony collaborative project Marine Algal Systems Biology (MAlSyB) , a joint initiative involving the Universities of Oldenburg, Hannover, Braunschweig, and Göttingen, together with the DSMZ in Braunsc...

Texas A&M AgriLife Research is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Institute for Advancing Health Through Agriculture (IHA) in College Station, Texas. The role sits within a collaborative research environment that brings together precision nutrition, responsive agriculture, and social and behavioral research, with the goal of reducing diet-related chronic disease and improving health while supporting producers and the environment. The successful postdoctoral researcher will ...

This postdoctoral research associate role is based in Texas A&M AgriLife Research, within the Institute for Advancing Health through Agriculture in College Station, Texas. The project is centered on precision proteomic biomarker discovery for nutrition-sensitive chronic diseases, bringing together multiomics and Olink proteomics to investigate how diet, obesity, nutrition, and lifestyle interventions shape the development of chronic metabolic disease across the life course. The successful candid...
