PhD Opportunities in Systems Biology in Hungary

The PhD fellowship is based in the Mutwil group at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences (PLEN), University of Copenhagen , working at the interface of comparative and evolutionary plant biology and AI-driven discovery. The project focuses on computational plant biology and aims to turn the plant literature and multi-omics data into evidence-backed predictions of gene function and stress regulation, with particular attention to heat and drought resilience in Nordic crops. The studen...

[Annual stipend at the UKRI minimum rate of £21,805 per year plus a £1,000 per annum enhancement, and a research training support grant of up to £20,000 for the full 4-year programme.] This PhD studentship at The University of Manchester focuses on improving the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in oleaginous yeasts using a transcriptomics-guided, enzyme-constrained metabolic modelling approach. The project aims to connect RNA-seq data, proteomics, genome-scale metabolic models, ...

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...

This PhD studentship at the University of Birmingham develops a mechanistic mathematical framework to explain how biofilm-associated infections lead to host-cell damage. The project focuses on the coupled biology of biofilm growth, nutrient transport, bacterial toxins, reactive oxygen species, inflammatory signalling, DNA damage, repair failure, and host-cell viability. The student will build and analyse models that connect biofilm structure with local biochemical gradients and tissue injury acr...

PEI — PhD Programme for Environmental Informatics at the University of Göttingen is a doctoral programme embedded in GAUSS and the university’s broader research landscape in Göttingen. It brings together bioinformatics, ecoinformatics, geoinformatics, and scientific computing under the umbrella of environmental informatics. The programme is designed for doctoral researchers who want to use informatics-based methods to study and model biological, ecological, environmental, and geoscientific syste...

The IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca is offering a fully funded PhD place in its doctoral programme at a state-funded research university in Lucca, Italy. The programme is organised around several specific doctoral areas, and applicants are expected to present a focused research idea that fits one of the eligible fields. The advert highlights four main areas: Neuroscience; Cultural Systems and Cultural Heritage; Economics and Decision Sciences; and Systems Sciences, including Computer Scien...

CRI Research Fellowship at the Center for Research and Interdisciplinarity in France is a recurring research fellowship scheme for researchers at different career stages. The call describes three types of research fellows with differing profiles and lengths of stay, and it is designed for candidates ranging from postdoctoral young investigators to tenured scientists. The fellowship is positioned as an interdisciplinary research opportunity centered at the CRI Research lab environment. Fellows be...

The Jena School for Microbial Communication (JSMC) at Friedrich Schiller University Jena offers an interdisciplinary doctoral programme focused on the many ways microorganisms communicate and interact. The programme brings together research spanning health, environment, biology, optical technologies, and bioinformatics , creating a broad training environment for PhD candidates interested in both fundamental and applied microbiological research. Students are embedded in a large collaborative netw...

IMPRS-ML is an international doctoral programme at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Planegg, run in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, and Technische Universität München. The programme is designed to train doctoral researchers at the forefront of modern life sciences. Research activity spans biochemistry, structural biology, biophysics, cell biology, systems biology, and computational biology, with an emphasis...
