PhD Positions in Veterinary Science in China

This doctoral opening at Malmö University focuses on standardizing multi-omics approaches for research based on oral fluids, with the aim of supporting more reproducible disease-related science. The project title signals an emphasis on bringing together omics technologies and developing more consistent methods for analyzing oral-fluid samples. The position is based at Malmö University, an innovative and internationally oriented university in Sweden. The advert presents the university as a collab...

About the project This PhD project focuses on elbow dysplasia (ED) in dogs , a common hereditary developmental disorder affecting the elbow joint. The work aims to improve knowledge about risk factors, optimal treatment, long-term outcome, and prognosis, with the broader goal of improving treatment results and animal welfare for affected dogs. The project includes several sub-projects and combines epidemiological and clinical approaches. The doctoral student may take part in journal-based studie...

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...

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 ...

The One Health Informatics Group at the National Institute of Research and Innovation (NIRI) in Riga invites applications for a PhD project focused on environmental metagenomics and antimicrobial resistance surveillance. The successful candidate will study microbial communities in wastewater and other environmental ecosystems, using DNA sequencing, metagenomic analysis and environmental data to better understand how antimicrobial resistance is distributed and may spread through the environment. ...

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 One Health Informatics Group at the National Institute of Research and Innovation in Riga invites applications for a fully funded PhD project on animal gut microbiomes, metagenomics, and antimicrobial resistance. The successful candidate will join an international research team working at the intersection of microbiology, DNA sequencing, bioinformatics, and microbial ecology. This project focuses on microbial communities in livestock and agricultural systems, with a particular interest in ho...

The University of Exeter’s Centre for Ecology and Conservation is recruiting a PhD student to join a supervisory team studying the impact of environmental change on the ecology of Southern Ocean predators . The project will investigate how changing environmental conditions affect predator ecology in the Southern Ocean, contributing to broader understanding of marine ecosystems, conservation ecology and responses to global environmental change. The student will join the Centre for Ecology and Con...

Knowing Animals: The Leverhulme Doctoral Programme on Interdisciplinary Pathways to Multispecies Understanding is a four-year doctoral programme led by the Royal Veterinary College in collaboration with the University of Exeter. The programme explores how animals experience and understand the world, placing animal perspectives at the heart of decision-making. It brings together approaches from the sciences, humanities, and social sciences to develop interdisciplinary pathways for understanding h...
