University of Oslo · Norway
Paid PhD Research Fellow at the University of Oslo's Natural History Museum: marine algae and protistan parasites, NOK 550,800-595,000/year salary. Apply by 4 November 2026.
University of Sydney · Australia
Supplementary AUD 10,000/year PhD scholarship at the University of Sydney for data-driven research that advances drug discovery decision-making.
Maastricht University · Netherlands
Maastricht University invites applications for a PhD candidate in spatial multi-omics and single-cell analysis of human diseases, with a start in January 2027. Spatial transcriptomics and related multi-omics technologies make it possible to map gene expression, chromatin state and protein levels within intact tissue, revealing how disease processes unfold across cell types and tissue niches.
Aarhus University · Denmark
Aarhus University invites applications for a PhD position on tracking microbes across borders using genomics to uncover biomass-to-biogas transmission pathways. The project applies genomic and bioinformatic methods to understand how microbial communities move through biomass supply chains and biogas plants, connecting findings to process performance in the bioenergy sector.
Earlham Institute · United Kingdom
The Blood2Tissue project at Earlham Institute investigates whether blood measurements can reliably predict gene-expression programmes in less accessible tissues. A central question is when individual predictions should be trusted.
