[Funding minimum: Home fees student. Funding maximum: International student subject to gaining an NDM studentship.] PhD Studentship at the University of Oxford focused on understanding the double life of Escherichia coli as both a benign gut commensal and a deadly pathogen. This project, based at the John Radcliffe Hospital , forms part of the wider COHORT study led by Professor Susanna Dunachie in collaboration with the Oxford Vaccine Group and the Ellison Institute of Technology . The COHORT s...

PhD position in Mechanoreceptors & Sensory Biophysics at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich. The project investigates novel protein agonists of the human sweet taste receptor, combining AFM-based single-molecule force spectroscopy with computational and AI-guided protein design. The research explores how membrane proteins contribute to taste perception and how new molecular tools can be developed to modulate receptor activity. The doctoral resear...

Questions
Should I email professors before submitting my PhD application?
Yes. A well-targeted email can significantly improve your chances in many research-based programs.
What should I include in my first email to a professor?
A brief introduction, research interests aligned with the professor’s work, CV, and (if available) publication links.
How long should I wait before following up with a professor?
Typically 7–14 days. One polite follow-up is considered acceptable.
Is it better to send the same email to many professors?
No. Personalized emails that clearly match the professor’s research receive far better response rates.
Do I need a full research proposal when contacting professors?
Usually not initially — a short research summary is sufficient unless the professor specifically requests a full proposal.
