How does rapid evolution affect ecological dynamics and stability in an era of global environmental change?
PhD position in Eco-Evolutionary Biology. University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, together with the University of British Columbia (Canada), the University of Arkansas (US), National Institute of Genetics (Japan), and MIT (US). Read more
The Department of Oncology at the University of Oxford
The Department of Oncology employs multidisciplinary approaches from physics, biology, chemistry and mathematical modelling to investigate DNA biology and epigenetics, cell and environmental biology of tumour tissue, and both systemic and local immunological responses in cancer. Read more
Fully-funded White Rose BBSRC DTP Biology Project: Engineering Gene Regulatory Networks To Enhance Crop Disease Resistance
Lead supervisor: Prof Katherine Denby. Co-supervisors: Dr Nicola Patron (Cambridge/Earlham Institute), Dr Benjamin Lichman. Read more
Impacts of disease (chytridiomycosis) and environmental contaminants on wildlife conservation (amphibians)
Wildlife are in peril due to numerous threatening processes. Amphibians (especially frogs) are the most endangered Class of Vertebrates. Read more
Where has all of the carbon gone? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of long-term soil carbon capture
Soils, while unglamorous, form the basis of the terrestrial biosphere and are ultimately the source of the majority of the food that we eat, yet fundamental aspects of how soils form and how they store carbon are poorly understood. Read more
Understanding alpha particle radiation-induced DNA damage repair and transdisciplinary approaches to environmental cancer prevention and early detection
The GOAL of this work is to find effective ways to reduce the future burden of environmental cancers, including lung cancers caused by radioactive radon gas, air pollutants, and heavy metals in our air and water, using biology and epidemiology with a strong emphasis on knowledge implementation and science communication.

PhD-student position in Structural Biology (cryo-EM) aiming to investigate disease-related protein complexes involved in cell signaling
Highly motivated candidates interested in structural studies of disease-related signaling complexes (MAPK and mTOR) are invited to apply for a fully funded PhD position in the laboratory of Dr. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Sensing the environment: How do environmental cues affect reproduction in insects?
Insects, along with other animals, cope with changing or adverse environmental conditions by pausing reproduction (reproductive diapause). Read more
MSc by Research: Feel the tension – how does S-acylation of OSCA ion channels regulate responses to environmental change in plants?
Plants, being sessile organisms, must sense and respond to environmental change, such as temperature or drought, without being able to move. Read more
Uncovering the links between the environmental sensor, AHR, and the development of breast cancer
The School of Molecular and Cellular Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2023/24. Read more
