PhD Opportunities in Bioinformatics in Luxembourg

Two funded PhD positions are available in Kenneth Dumack’s group at the University of Koblenz, Germany, investigating an unusual photosynthetic rhizarian and its complex plastid. The projects aim to determine how the plastid was acquired and how this organelle is integrated into the eukaryotic cell. One PhD project centers on evolutionary genomics and bioinformatic physiology, offering a computational perspective on plastid evolution and cellular function. The second project focuses on cell biol...

The University of Inland Norway is advertising a full-time PhD opportunity in Bioinformatics and Machine Learning for Infection and Antimicrobial Resistance Diagnostics , based in Hamar, Norway. The project asks whether artificial intelligence can improve the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Research will combine bioinformatics and biological data analysis with machine learning methods for infection diagnostics, with a particular focus on antimicrobial resistance. The PhD sits at the intersecti...

This PhD project at the Medical University of Innsbruck investigates the mechanistic origins of chromosomal instability (CIN) in cancer and its role in immune evasion, therapy resistance, and metastatic spread. The research addresses how tumors can suppress interferon signaling and evade immune detection before metastasis. The doctoral researcher will develop the computational core of a multimodal artificial intelligence system in close collaboration with wet-lab scientists and clinical teams. T...

Doctoral researcher in computational genomics for predictive medicine at the University of Helsinki is a PhD position in the Barrett lab, jointly affiliated with the ELLIS Institute Finland, the Institute for Molecular Medicine Finland (FIMM), and the Faculty of Medicine. The project sits at the intersection of genomics, multiomic data analysis, and AI-driven biomedical research. The lab’s goal is to discover, understand, and measure mechanistically meaningful subtypes of complex human diseases,...

Heidelberg Biosciences International Graduate School (HBIGS) at Heidelberg University is a doctoral programme in the biosciences, offering PhD training in a highly interdisciplinary research environment in Heidelberg. The programme brings together research areas in which Heidelberg is especially strong, including developmental biology, infectious diseases, molecular and cellular biology, molecular biotechnology and biophysics, molecular plant sciences, neurosciences, structural biology, biochemi...

Graduate School of Quantitative and Molecular Biosciences Munich (QMB) is a structured doctoral programme based at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and run in cooperation with Technical University Munich, Helmholtz Center Munich, and the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry Munich. The programme focuses on quantitative approaches to molecular biosciences, aiming to move beyond the study of single genes and proteins toward the analysis of large molecular machines, cellular pathways, and bi...

Research theme: This PhD project focuses on predicting gene expression in plants by combining genomic language models with machine learning on gene regulatory networks. The thesis is part of the BioLLM-CRE project and is hosted in the DIADE research unit (Diversity, Adaptation and Development of tropical plants), a joint unit involving IRD, CIRAD and the University of Montpellier . The unit works on plant biodiversity, adaptation mechanisms and plant-environment interactions, using approaches th...

The programme is embedded in VHIO’s strong translational, preclinical and clinical cancer research environment, with access to first-class core technologies, state-of-the-art infrastructure, lectures, seminars, specialised scientific and technological courses, and a structured learning and supervisory programme through VHIO Academy. Students will join ...

[4-year Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership PhD studentship including tuition fees paid directly to the University, a stipend of £21,805 for 2026/27, and a Research Training Support Grant of £5,000 per year.] This PhD studentship at the University of East Anglia focuses on a major question in evolutionary genetics: why sexually antagonistic genes persist in populations even when they are harmful in one sex. Building on recent work from the supervisor’s lab, the projec...
