Top university
University of Oxford-based postdoctoral researcher opportunity in the Gram-Negative Antibiotic Discovery Innovator (Gr-ADI) project. The project is focused on antibiotic discovery and uses molecular simulation to assess, for each lead compound/target protein pair, how many mutations could lead to resistance. This is an interdisciplinary role at the interface of chemistry, biology, medical science, pharmacy, and computational research. Ideal applicants will have a PhD and experience in molecular ...

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.
