PhD Opportunities in Genomics in Japan

The University of Amsterdam is offering a PhD project on legal and ethical perspectives in data-driven technologies in healthcare , led by Dr. Mahsa Shabani. The research is part of the NWO-VIDI project Fairness in Data-Driven Medical Technologies: Solidifying Regulatory Oversight Based on a Multidimensional Conception of Fairness . Artificial intelligence and genomics are transforming diagnosis and treatment, but healthcare innovations may fail to serve diverse populations fairly and can reinfo...

This four-year PhD project investigates why urinary tract infection prevalence increases substantially during menopause. It examines how menopause-associated hormonal changes affect the urinary tract environment and alter competition between bacterial species in the distinctive flow conditions of the bladder and urethra. The project will explore how changes in hormone signalling may disrupt microbial communities and their interactions with the host. A central focus is microbial communication: ho...

[4-year PhD studentship with annual stipend at the UKRI minimum rate (currently £21,805 per year) plus £1,000 per year enhancement, and a research training support grant of up to £20,000 for the full programme.] This PhD studentship at The University of Manchester investigates why urinary tract infections become more prevalent during the menopause and how hormone-related changes alter competition between bacterial species in the bladder and urethra. The project takes an interdisciplinary approac...

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...

[Fully funded studentship covering fees, maintenance stipend of £21,805 p.a. for 2026/27, and a research training and support grant (RTSG). Limited international places are available with home/international fee difference waived by the university; additional relocation, visa, and UK health surcharge costs are not covered.] This PhD studentship investigates the historical genomics of the red squirrel in Britain , a species that has experienced a long decline shaped by hunting, deforestation, and ...

The Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine (SGBM) at the University of Freiburg is an international doctoral school offering a multidisciplinary research and training environment in the life sciences and biomedicine. Doctoral fellows work toward a PhD at the University of Freiburg, and medical doctors can also join an MD/PhD pathway. The programme is embedded in a strong research network that includes outstanding research facilities and major partner institutions and clusters such as th...

The PhD Programme in Biomedical Data Science (BIOMEDAS) at Hannover Medical School is a cross-university doctoral programme built around biomedical data science in translational research. It brings together partners from the regional research landscape, including Braunschweig Integrated Centre of Systems Biology (BRICS) , Centre of Individualised Infection Medicine (CiiM) , German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ) , Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicin...

Heidelberg University’s Munschauer Lab at the Centre for Integrative Infectious Disease Research is seeking a doctoral researcher in RNA biology. The project forms part of the DFG Collaborative Research Centre CRC/TRR 440 smART and explores how RNA interactions can be harnessed to improve therapeutic messenger RNA. The PhD researcher will dissect and characterize cellular RNA-protein interactions with high spatial and temporal resolution. The work includes recombinant production and purification...

The MRC Doctoral Training Awards at the Medical Sciences Division, University of Oxford support new PhD/DPhil researchers working in medical science across Oxford’s research environment. This studentship is linked to the Medical Research Council’s priority areas and is designed for projects that sit within one of four broad themes: infection and immunology, neuroscience, cancer, or population health, genomics and genetics. Successful students may carry out their research within Oxford’s Medical ...
