Centre for Doctoral Training PhDs in Plant Sciences
The School of Biological Sciences at the University of Aberdeen has a world-leading reputation for pure and applied research across the biological sciences, with a broad cross-cutting theme of understanding the fundamental biological consequences of global environmental change. Read more
Design principles and emergent behavior in biological systems
Student background. Theoretical Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering (background in biology not necessary). The student will develop mathematical and computational approaches to analyze the behavior of complex biological systems, focusing on analyzing physiological dynamics. Read more
Oscillations in biological systems
Living systems are complex and are based on the basic building blocks of genes, proteins, chemical reactions, and physical forces. Read more
Funded PhD student position (f/m/d): Optical Control of Biological Matter across Scales (Physics, Biophysics, Biophotonics, Bioengineering)
About us. The Zieske group is an independent research group at Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) and associated with the Max Planck Center for Physics and Medicine (MPZPM). Read more
Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Analogues of the Bioactive Natural Products, Incarviditone and Incarvilleatone
The polyclic natural products incarviditone and incarvilleatone have recently attracted attention due to their synthetically challenging structures as well as their interesting biological properties. Read more
Biological role of Stress Hormones
OVERVIEW. Our lab focuses on the biological roles of peptide hormones derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC), a protein produced in the anterior pituitary gland. Read more
Big biological data integration via deep learning methods to understand mechanisms underlying cardiometabolic disorders (Advert Ref :SF22/EE/CIS/KURT)
Cardiometabolic disorders such as coronary artery disease-(CAD), obesity, and type-2 diabetes (T2D) represent the top leading causes of mortality worldwide. Read more
Mathematical models for the characterisation of the dynamics of biological systems
Biological systems are constantly exposed to changing environments and adapt to them. That is, biological systems are capable of gathering information about their environments and processing them. Read more
Self-funded project: Uncovering the biological roles of recently discovered carbohydrate-active enzymes in green microalgae.
Photosynthetic microalgae are microbes that have colonized every habitat on Earth, and are paramount in fueling the global ocean biological carbon pump. Read more
Chemical analysis and bioaccumulation of ‘forever chemicals’ in aquatic organisms
Background and Motivation. Perfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS are a group of man-made chemicals that are manufactured and used in a variety of industries around the world (e.g. Read more

Self-funded project: New biological diagnostics for environmental contaminants
Application accepted for either MSc by Research or PhD. We are interested in using biological methods to detect both biological and chemical contamination in environmental samples. Read more
Examining the mechanisms that cause cardiovascular disease by studying the heart or adipose tissue
Heart failure has a serious impact on our society and once diagnosed has a poor survival rate. In the United Kingdom, there are about 1.5 million people living with the after-effects of a heart attack. Read more
Determining the optimal mix of forestry systems and reserves under differing wildfire regimes for improving biodiversity conservation
How to meet human needs for timber while limiting harm to biodiversity is an urgent scientific goal. Read more
