PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Dentistry in United Kingdom

The University of Leicester is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Sulfur Biology to join the Department of Molecular and Cell Biology and the Leicester Institute of Structural and Chemical Biology (LISCB). The three-year research project will investigate how hypoxic Escherichia coli convert cystine into reactive sulfur species and elemental sulfur. The postdoctoral researcher will take day-to-day ownership of the project, designing and delivering experiments that combine microbial phys...

This opportunity is a tuition fee discount for the online Quality by Design for the Pharmaceutical Industry programme at De Montfort University in Leicester, England. The award supports study on the part-time distance-learning route and is applied directly against tuition fees rather than paid as cash. It can cover the full period of the MSc, or the shorter PG Diploma or PG Certificate routes, and is funded through DMU’s Health and Life Sciences Postgraduate Alumni Scholarship. The programme is ...

The University of Oxford is recruiting a Computational Postdoctoral Research Associate to support the Gram-Negative Antibiotic Discovery Innovator (Gr-ADI) project. The research focuses on discovering novel small molecules that inhibit key protein targets in Klebsiella pneumoniae , with the goal of developing new antimicrobials to treat infections and address antimicrobial resistance. The postholder will lead molecular simulation work, including free energy calculations, to investigate protein–l...

Teesside University, in collaboration with the University of Leeds, is offering a PhD opportunity investigating a newly discovered virus affecting aquatic crustaceans such as shrimp. The project, titled “Shrimp Get Flu Too: Understanding How Environmental Change Drives Aquatic Virus Evolution,” will examine how this crustacean virus causes disease and how its evolutionary trajectory is shaped by selective pressures. The successful researcher will explore the mechanisms underlying the pathology a...

Ulster University is offering a fully funded PhD opportunity focused on home artificial nutrition and carer support. Carers supporting people who receive home artificial nutrition are an essential but often hidden part of successful home-based nutritional care. The project will investigate the realities of caring, including carers’ experiences, preparedness and support needs. The research will identify education and support requirements and help shape future practice, education and services in h...

[Fully funded PhD studentship; funding amount not specified.] This PhD project explores radicals and reactive intermediates in heavy main-group chemistry , with a particular focus on accessing and understanding open-shell species based on heavy pnictogens and related elements. The research aims to develop new routes to authentic main-group radicals and to open-shell fragments such as carbenes, nitrenes, and higher homologues in the vicinity of heavy elements. The project is centred on inorganic ...

Fully funded PhD opportunity: Beyond Cooling explores how climate-robust urban environments can better protect people from extreme heat and heat-related health risks in the UK. The project examines urban heat exposure and climate adaptation through a combination of remote sensing, GIS and spatial analysis. It will also investigate human mobility and heat exposure, heat-related health risks and inequalities, and the role of urban green and blue spaces under future climate scenarios. The research ...

Queen Mary University of London is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join Dr Ezra Aksoy’s research group at the William Harvey Research Institute. The project focuses on innate immunity and infection, with particular emphasis on how the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) of Campylobacter jejuni drives bacterial competition, intestinal colonisation and host immune responses. The research brings together molecular microbiology, infection biology, bacterial pathogenesis and mucosal immun...

The UK Human Functional Genomics Initiative Doctoral Landscape Award (FGx-DLA) offers a first cohort of PhD projects focused on understanding how genetic variation influences human biology, health and disease. The programme includes 79 projects across wet-lab, computational and combined wet/dry-lab research. Students may work on CRISPR and genome editing , single-cell and spatial genomics , artificial intelligence and machine learning, stem-cell and organoid models, computational genomics, multi...
