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

Genomics and AI to understand and combat antimicrobial resistance

University of Oxford

Department of Biology

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health challenge. Bacterial pathogens evolve rapidly, exchange resistance genes across populations and species, and move between people, animals and the environment. Read more

Supervisor: Prof S Sheppard

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

Evolution and novel CRISPR-Cas9 tools for antifungal resistance in fungal pathogens

University of Oxford

Department of Biology

Antifungal resistance is an increasing threat to human health, particularly as the number of available antifungal drug classes remains limited. Read more

Supervisor: Dr N van Rhijn

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

Deciphering tick-borne arbovirus neuropathogenesis using human brain and blood-brain barrier models

University of Oxford

Department of Biology

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), like many tick-borne arboviruses, is an emerging RNA virus of growing public health concern across Europe and Asia, with rising incidence driven by the expansion of tick vectors and its recent detection in the UK. Read more

Supervisor: Dr N Goonawardane

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