PhD Positions in Computational Biology in Denmark

This PhD position is in medical science at Linköping University and is embedded in a research group working on the modulation and pharmacology of proton-activated chloride channels. The project addresses ion channels that have attracted attention as promising drug targets in areas such as ischemic stroke, cancer and viral entry into cells. The doctoral student will work on understanding how these channels function and how small molecules can modulate their activity. The research combines molecul...

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. ...

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 Manchester is recruiting a PhD student to join its Mathematical Biomedicine Group through an international strategic partnership with the University of Bergen in Norway. This project investigates whether mathematical modelling can help personalise hormone replacement therapies for people living with Addison's disease. Conventional cortisol replacement treatments can struggle to reproduce the natural daily rhythms of this essential hormone. The research will explore personalised...

William Scott’s research group in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Purdue University is recruiting new M.S. and Ph.D. students. The group integrates computational systems biology, microbial and metabolic modeling, multi-omics, and artificial intelligence to address interdisciplinary problems across food, health, agriculture, and environmental biotechnology. Students may work on computational and systems-level approaches to understand biological processes, model microb...

Purdue University's Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering is recruiting motivated M.S. and Ph.D. students for fully funded interdisciplinary graduate research opportunities in the United States. The research group works at the intersection of computational systems biology, microbial and metabolic modeling, multi-omics integration, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology . Projects connect computational methods with food, health, agricultural, and environmental biotechnology, o...

The Barrett lab at the University of Helsinki is recruiting a doctoral researcher to work on computational genomics for predictive medicine . The project sits at the intersection of genomics, multiomic data analysis, and machine learning, with a scientific goal of identifying mechanistically meaningful subtypes of complex human diseases. Rather than focusing only on observed clinical phenotypes, the lab aims to characterize diseases through molecular and biological endotypes that can better supp...

This PhD project at Umeå University sits at the intersection of molecular biology, bioinformatics, and computer science, within the Department of Molecular Biology and the national DDLS Research School in Data-driven Epidemiology and Biology of Infection . The student will work on developing computational methods and software for analysing complex biological data generated by the group’s single-cell multiomic approaches. The research focuses on microbial genomes and bacterial communities across ...
