Do different synapses compensate differently? Dissecting cell-type-specific homeostatic plasticity in vivo

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

The brain must stay stable even when its environment changes. If neural circuits became over- or under-active every time conditions shifted, animals could not reliably sense the world or make decisions. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Lin, Prof M Juusola

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Unravelling the role of SOX10-regulated paraspeckles in the enteric nervous system development and disease

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

The enteric nervous system (ENS), the vast network of neurons and glia controlling gut function, is generated in utero by embryonic neural crest (NC) cells that colonise the gastrointestinal tract. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Tsakiridis, Dr T Shelkovnikova, Dr SC Campbell

Evolution of antimicrobial resistance: how faulty replication supercharges a superbug

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical threat to global health. Because developing new antibiotics is extremely challenging, we must protect current treatments and for that understanding how resistance mutations arise is essential. Read more

Supervisors: Dr I Lahiri, Dr R Fagan

From Flies to Fish: Exploring Neural Synchrony in Visual Processing

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

How does the brain synchronise information across regions to make sense of the world and respond in real time? This PhD project will address this question using cutting-edge experimental and computational approaches in two model systems. Read more

Supervisors: Prof M Juusola, Dr A Nikolaev

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Running out of air: stomatal ageing and photosynthesis

University of Sheffield

School of Biosciences

As evidenced by last year’s drought around the globe, agriculture faces ever-increasing pressure on critical water resources. There is a need for novel approaches to improve crop resilience. Read more

Supervisors: Prof A Fleming, Prof J Gray, Dr J Rowe

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Cell-free assembly and engineering of programmable protein nanocages for mRNA vaccine delivery

University of Liverpool

Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

Vaccine mRNA can only work if it reaches the part of the cell where proteins are made. Can engineered protein shells protect vaccine mRNA and release it inside cells to produce an antigen, while avoiding excessive inflammation?. Read more

Supervisors: Prof LN Liu, Prof N Liptrott

27 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Decoding protein aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases using advanced mass spectrometry methods

University of Leeds

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. Neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and Parkinson's disease (PD) are characterised by the misfolding and aggregation of proteins into toxic assemblies that damage neurons. Read more

Supervisors: Dr A Calabrese, Prof F. Sobott, Prof S E Radford

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

MRC NW-DMS DLA programme: Enhancing Cancer Immunotherapy While Protecting the Heart: The Dual Function of SGLT2 Inhibitors

University of Liverpool

Faculty of Health and Life Sciences

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionised cancer treatment by harnessing the body's immune system to attack tumours. Read more

Supervisors: Dr P Sharma, Prof A Olsson-Brown, Prof D Naisbitt

27 November 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Dual-Specific Integrin Targeting for Selective Cancer Cell Recognition and Therapeutic Signalling Modulation

University of Leeds

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. Cancer prevalence continues to rise globally. Despite significant advances, many current cancer therapies still cause significant adverse side-effects. Read more

Supervisors: Dr Y Guo, Prof D Zhou

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Looping DNA for Nanotechnology and Biomedicine Using Computer Simulations

University of York

School of Physics, Engineering and Technology

DNA is often depicted as a perfect double helix, yet inside living cells it is constantly bent, twisted, and supercoiled to perform essential genetic functions. Read more

Supervisor: Dr AN Noy

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Plant Protein–Dietary Fibre Composites: How Amaranth Cell-Wall Architecture Controls Protein Digestion and Nutritional Functionality

University of Leeds

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. Can dietary fibre make plant protein better?. Plant proteins are increasingly important for sustainable food production, but producing highly purified protein isolates can require intensive processing and removes many naturally occurring components of the crop. Read more

Supervisors: Prof G Yakubov, Dr Y Benitez-Alfonso, Dr T Swift

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

The role of microbiome in crustacean ecology and health

University of Leeds

Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership

Project Description. In a rapidly changing world, adaptation is at the heart of success. Whether the success is of an invasive species introduced to a new area, a newly developed fishery or aquaculture market, or the persistence of an endangered species against all odds. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J South, Assoc Prof E.J. Duncan, Dr J Bojko

6 January 2027 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Clean and safe: Developing antimicrobial formulations for food preservation and hygiene LEEY_U27SCI

University of East Anglia

School of Biological Sciences

Primary Supervisor. Dr. Yan Fen Lee. Foodborne pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes can be present in up to 12% of raw fish, posing serious food safety risks, including listeriosis, which can be life-threatening if left untreated. Read more

Supervisor: Dr YFL Lee
