PhD Early-Stage Researcher Position in Biology and Fish Cardiac Physiology Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), Estonia, invites applications for a four-year PhD project in the Laboratory of Systems Biology investigating how genetics and diet influence rainbow trout heart and cardiomyocyte morphology. The research will help identify factors contributing to cardiac abnormalities in farmed salmonid fish and support evidence-based guidelines for producing more robust fish. The doctoral resea...

The University of Oxford is offering a DPhil opportunity in cardiovascular research on “Sarcomeric cAMP signalling in cardiometabolic heart failure: mechanisms, modelling and translational biomarkers.” The interdisciplinary project will examine how alterations in localised cAMP signalling contribute to cardiac dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Research will bring together cutting-edge imaging, molecular signalling, cardiovascular physiology, modelling, and tr...

PhD in Sport, Physical Education and Health Sciences at the University of Edinburgh’s Moray House School of Education and Sport offers full-time study over three years or part-time study over six years, beginning in September 2027. A PhD by Distance option is available for suitably qualified applicants, although it is not a fully online programme. The programme supports independent research across physical education, sport management, sports science, the social and cultural significance of sport...
