PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Microbiology in Turkey

Vid Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences i Uppsala söker Institutionen för tillämpad husdjursvetenskap och välfärd en postdoktor till ett forskarteam inom idisslarnutrition med fokus på mjölkkor . Rollen är inriktad på forskning om hur hållbara produktionssystem kan utvecklas inom mjölkproduktion, med särskild betoning på att optimera resurser, betes- och foderutnyttjande samt att minska klimat- och miljöpåverkan. Det huvudsakliga forskningsinnehållet rör metanreduktion och dess effekter ...

This PhD project at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) focuses on RNA-based plant protection, with an emphasis on spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) as a strategy to combat crop diseases. The work explores how externally applied double-stranded RNA can reduce pathogen gene expression and how RNA reaches target organisms, is taken up, and remains biologically active. The doctoral student will develop and evaluate SIGS approaches against wheat leaf blotch caused by Zymoseptoria...

This PhD project explores how living microorganisms can be used as environmental sensors and memory systems . Rather than relying on conventional disposable electronics, the research asks whether organisms that naturally integrate environmental signals can be decoded to reveal the conditions they have experienced over time. The student will work on understanding the visual and structural responses of microorganisms to different environmental conditions, then build computational methods that can ...

This postdoctoral project at Washington University in St. Louis centers on an unusual and timely question in molecular microbiology: picobirnaviruses (PBVs), long assumed to be eukaryotic viruses, are described here as the third known group of RNA bacteriophages . The research is built around the recently reported shift in understanding of PBV biology and its implications for bacterial host interactions, microbiome dynamics, and human health. The successful candidate will work on defining how PB...

This PhD project at UCLouvain in Brussels, Belgium, focuses on the intracellular persistence of Staphylococcus aureus in the context of chronic bone and joint infections. The work is embedded in a large international consortium coordinated by the University of Reims and funded through a European collaborative program. The doctoral researcher will investigate how clinical S. aureus isolates survive within host cells and contribute to the chronic and relapsing nature of prosthetic joint infections...

The Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Associate working on advanced microbial detection for biopharmaceutical manufacturing. The project is hosted within SMART-CAMP (Critical Analytics for Manufacturing Personalized-Medicine), an interdisciplinary programme spanning Singapore’s CREATE research campus and innovation hub and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The research will develop a novel, label-free and rapid method for ...

Simon Moore’s group at Imperial College London is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for a three-year Postdoctoral Research Associate position in biochemistry and microbiology. The project will investigate the biosynthesis of new-to-nature natural products , combining biological production with scaled-up manufacturing and purification. The researcher will contribute to developing and applying approaches that enable these compounds to be produced and recovered at larger scale. The position incl...

The University of Oxford’s fully funded Correlates of Immunity–Artificial Intelligence (CoI-AI) DPhil Programme brings together human challenge studies, immunology, microbiology, vaccine development and artificial intelligence to accelerate the development of vaccines against major bacterial pathogens. The programme is co-led by Professor Sir Andrew Pollard and Professor Daniela Ferreira . DPhil projects are led by Dr Rob Shaw, Professor Susanne Hodgson, Dr Paola Cicconi, Professor Susie Dunachi...

The Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior is offering a postdoctoral position in the sensory ecology of worm towers , based in Konstanz, Germany, within the Genes and Behavior Research Group. The project investigates how Caenorhabditis nematodes use sensory systems to construct collective towers, detect dispersal vectors, and relocate successfully. The research will examine how worms acquire, process, and respond to environmental and social information through mechanisms including mechanosensi...
