Using synthetic biology to understand the evolution of antibiotic resistance
Imagine an architect, tasked with converting an old stadium into a building with a different function, without demolishing it. Read more
Deciphering the evolution of male sexual ornaments and female preference in stalk-eyed flies
The selected candidate will conduct cutting-edge research to investigate the evolution of male sexual ornaments and the role of female preference in shaping these traits. Read more
Evolution of antimicrobial resistance in bacterial microbiomes
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more

GREEN CDT Hydro-geochemical evolution of bentonite buffer during infiltration of saline groundwater in a generic LSSR repository
Engineered barrier system (EBS) plays a critical role in the safety of geological disposal concepts. Bentonite is a candidate buffer/backfill material, which provides key functions within EBS. Read more
Evolutionary ‘frenemies’? Understanding the molecular mechanisms underpinning the evolution of endosymbiosis
Symbioses are abundant, taxonomically widespread, ecologically important in a wide-range of habitats, economically important in agricultural systems, and consequently underpin the biodiversity and function of both natural and artificial ecosystems. Read more
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
Predicting the Evolution of Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 Viruses
Our research focus is to design and develop analytical, computational, and mathematical methods to understand the fundamental processes that govern the evolution of influenza and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. Read more
Combining Synthetic Biology and Modelling to Understand and Predict Evolution
Mutations, and their effects on organismal fitness, lie at the heart of understanding and predicting evolution. Because of its central role in determining evolutionary outcomes, much experimental and theoretical effort has been put into describing the fitness effects of mutations. Read more
Single cell nanopore and the evolution of cell phenotypes
Long-read nanopore sequencing is revolutionizing our understanding of the emergence of novel phenotypes across evolution and disease. Read more
Coronal genealogy: the evolution of high-energy emission from low-mass stars
This PhD project will use models and observations of forming low-mass stars to shed light on the history and evolution of Sun-like stars. Read more
Structure evolution in complex alloys by analysis of combinatorial complexes
The last couple of decades have been a period of active development and manufacture of new complex-structured bulk materials, such as TWIP steels, nickel superalloys and high-entropy alloys for novel applications in energy and transport industries. Read more
Advancing Adaptive Laboratory Evolution (ALE) for the Next-Generation Biomanufacturing
Future manufacturing of chemicals, fuels, energy, materials, and drug therapeutics will be circular, sustainable, and biological at its heart. Read more
Cell biology and evolution of cancer metastasis
We are interested in the spread of cancer, a process called metastasis. Metastasis is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths and there are currently no effective treatments to stop this process. Read more
GW4 BioMed2 MRC DTP PhD project: How are changing environments on our farms driving antifungal resistance in clinical fungal pathogens?
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the GW4 BioMed2 MRC Doctoral Training Partnership which is offering up to 20 studentships for entry in September 2024. Read more
