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

The Ellison Institute of Technology’s Institute of Materials & Devices for Life Sciences (MDLS) is recruiting postdoctoral researchers for its interdisciplinary Tissue Programme in Oxford, United Kingdom. Led by Dr Linna Zhou and Professor Hagan Bayley, the programme develops technologies for fabricating three-dimensional living, synthetic and hybrid tissues. The research aims to create functional, patterned tissues for modelling human disease, testing therapeutics, modulating tissue function an...

University of Oxford DPhil in Structural Biology Christian Siebold’s group at STRUBI, the University of Oxford’s structural biology research environment, is seeking a DPhil student for the 2027 entry through the NDM Prize Studentships scheme. The project will investigate the structural and molecular mechanisms of Hedgehog signalling within the primary cilium. The student will examine how membrane proteins and signalling complexes function and organise in their cellular environment, addressing si...

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...

University College London is inviting applications for a fully funded PhD project titled CO-PYLT: Collaborative Prediction of Your Long-Term Mobility Intentions for a Brain-Controlled Wheelchair . The research will investigate how a wheelchair can anticipate where its user wants to go by combining commands from an EEG-based brain–computer interface with information about the surrounding environment and the user’s previous journeys. The project addresses the challenge of making assistive mobility...

The University of Exeter is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join its Technology Enabled Rehabilitation research team in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. The project focuses on developing home-based rehabilitation for stroke and other neurological or ageing disorders, combining clinical expertise with experimental psychology, biomechanics, physiotherapy and mathematical methods. Working within the National Institute for Health and Care Research Exeter Biomedical Research Centre, the ...

This PhD project sits within the FAroGels Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network at Nottingham Trent University . The work focuses on food-grade, bio-based and biodegradable aerogels for sustainable food systems, with a particular emphasis on building advanced magnetic-resonance tools to understand how these highly porous materials behave internally. The doctoral research will combine magnetic resonance imaging and time-domain nuclear magnetic resonance (TD-NMR) to characterise aerogel ...

Measuring What Matters is a funded PhD project at the University of Portsmouth focused on improving the clinical assessment of individuals with limb difference. The research will bridge the gap between what matters to patients and what is measured in rehabilitation. It will integrate patient-centred, functional and biomechanical outcomes to support more meaningful evaluation of rehabilitation interventions and patient experience. The doctoral researcher will work at the intersection of biomechan...

Professor Bart Hoogenboom’s lab at University College London is welcoming new team members for a postdoctoral vacancy and funded PhD positions. The research focuses on using advanced atomic force microscopy to investigate bacterial surfaces and industrial filtration membranes. This work brings together biophysics, microscopy, bacterial cell biology, and materials science to examine the structure and properties of complex biological and industrial membrane systems. Researchers joining the lab wil...
