  Molecular mechanisms involved in the impact of air pollution on bacterial cells
University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
  Dr J Morrissey, Prof J Ketley
Application Deadline: 5 May 2019
Air pollution is the world’s largest single environmental health risk, being responsible for an eighth of all global deaths per year (World Health Organisation, 2014).

  Understanding how mutability facilitates survival of alternating selection and bottlenecks by the major food-borne pathogen Campylobacter jejuni
University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
  Dr C D Bayliss, Dr A Morozov
Application Deadline: 5 May 2019
Bacterial pathogens are subject to two strong pressures during spread within and transmission between hosts.

  A New Molecular Machine Required for Bacterial Development into Spores
University of Technology Sydney The ithree Institute
  Dr C Rodrigues
Applications accepted all year round
The Rodrigues Lab focuses on how bacteria develop into spores. Bacterial spores are one of the hardiest cell types on Earth and allow bacteria to persist in the environment when nutritional conditions are no longer favourable for growth.

  Genotype-to-structure: analysis of the glycosylation of the flagella of Campylobacter jejuni, a major cause of food-borne gastroenteritis
University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
  Dr C D Bayliss, Prof J Ketley
Application Deadline: 5 May 2019
Campylobacter jejuni is the major causative agent of foodborne gastroenteritis across Europe. Contaminated chicken meat is the main source of infections and hence control of this pathogen is critical to food security in the poultry industry.

  An investigation of soil bacteriophages associated with positive and poor crop outcome
University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
  Prof M Clokie
Application Deadline: 5 May 2019
There is an increasing awareness that the microbial composition of soil can impact the productivity of crop plants. Bacteria have key roles in increasing the ability of plants to take up nutrients and to combat pathogenic bacteria.

  Investigating the molecular basis of bacterial pathogenicity of invertebrates
University of Reading School of Biological Sciences
  Prof R W Jackson
Applications accepted all year round
Pseudomonas syringae bacteria are common within the environment and can infect a wide range of plant species. These bacteria employ a diverse arsenal of virulence factors to attack plants.

  Iron acquisition using host lactoferrin by the bacterial pathogen Campylobacter jejuni
University of Leicester Department of Genetics and Genome Biology
  Prof J Ketley, Dr J Morrissey
Application Deadline: 5 May 2019
Campylobacter jejuni is the main cause of bacterial food-borne disease in the UK and is a global public health priority. Infection and transmission are usually linked with contaminated food or water, with chicken being a major source.

  Bioengineering of bacterial CO2-concentrating system for improved photosynthesis
University of Liverpool Institute of Integrative Biology
  Dr LN Liu, Dr D Canniffe
Applications accepted all year round
The single-cell photosynthetic bacteria, cyanobacteria, account for over 25% of global carbon fixation, thanks for their powerful CO2-concentrating machinery.
Details
Type/Funding
  Developing programmable DNA-guided endonucleases for genome engineering
KAUST Biological and Environmental Science and Engineering
  Prof M Mahfouz
Applications accepted all year round
Bacterial and archaeal species are rich with proteins used for DNA processing or host defense. We aim to engineer some of these proteins and test their ability to generate double strand breaks in a programmed and site-specific fashion.
Details
Type/Funding
  Bacteriophages of Gram positive bacteria: gateways to infection control
University of Manchester Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health
  Dr G Xia, Prof J P Derrick
Applications accepted all year round
The rise in antibiotic resistance has prompted a renewed interest in bacteriophage research. A study of the molecular basis for recognition of the bacterial host has applications in detection, vaccine design and control of bacterial infections.
