Sweden

This PhD project at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) focuses on RNA-based plant protection, with an emphasis on spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) as a strategy to combat crop diseases. The work explores how externally applied double-stranded RNA can reduce pathogen gene expression and how RNA reaches target organisms, is taken up, and remains biologically active. The doctoral student will develop and evaluate SIGS approaches against wheat leaf blotch caused by Zymoseptoria...

Just Landed

This doctoral project at Malmö University is part of the national BioLabX research school and addresses the future of non-invasive laboratory diagnostics through the use of oral fluids, especially saliva, as diagnostic material. The research aims to develop and validate standardized methods for multi-omics analysis, with a particular emphasis on metabolomics and proteomics , so that biomarkers in oral fluids can be identified and validated in a reproducible way. The project is framed around the ...

Quick Questions

Do I need to contact a supervisor before applying for a PhD position?
In many European and Asian universities yes; in some US programs applications are centralized but supervisor contact still helps.
Is GRE required for master’s or PhD applications abroad?
It depends on the country and university — many programs have made GRE optional, especially outside the US.
Do funded PhD positions usually cover tuition and living expenses?
Yes. Most funded PhD roles include tuition coverage plus a monthly stipend, but details vary by country and lab.
Are publications required to apply for PhD or postdoc positions?
Not always required for PhD, but strongly recommended. For postdoc roles, publications are usually expected.
Will I need to pay a tuition deposit for master’s admission?
In many countries yes — especially for taught master’s programs — but funded PhD positions typically do not require deposits.
