EASTBIO Better Putting Through Better Looking: Using Vision Science To Enhance Skilled Performance

University of St Andrews

School of Psychology and Neuroscience

This study aims to examine how vision science can be used to enhance skilled performance – in the context of golf putting. Golf putting provides an ideal context in which to apply the methods and knowledge generated by vision science. Read more

Supervisors: Prof D Donaldson, Dr J Ales

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

EASTBIO Where the brain learns: synaptic mechanisms of prediction-error plasticity

University of St Andrews

School of Psychology and Neuroscience

One of the most fascinating features of the brain is its ability to constantly predict what will happen next. For instance, when we move, our brains expect certain sights and sounds that indicate what we are doing. Read more

Supervisors: Dr M Zwart, Prof D McLean

EASTBIO Cognitive flexibility in rats: a new approach to automation

University of St Andrews

School of Psychology and Neuroscience

Ever had a song ‘stuck in your head’ or experienced a ‘Eureka moment’ when a solution ‘pops into mind’? We all value being able to think – and act – flexibly, but it is something fragile, and impaired in a number of psychiatric diseases and disorders. Read more

Supervisors: Dr D Tait, Prof V Brown

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

EASTBIO Descending and ascending control of locomotor and respiratory central pattern generators in health and disease

University of St Andrews

School of Psychology and Neuroscience

Background. Rhythmic movements such as walking and breathing are generated by central pattern generators (CPGs) which are dedicated neuronal networks within the spinal cord and brainstem. Read more

Supervisors: Dr I Allodi, Prof GM Miles

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

EASTBIO Mapping the gut microbiome of an understudied poultry species: environmental and nutritional drivers of resilience in African Guinea fowl

University of St Andrews

School of Psychology and Neuroscience

Guinea fowl are a key smallholder poultry species across many regions of Africa, contributing to food security, women’s livelihoods and climate‑resilient farming systems. Read more

Supervisors: Prof K Spencer, Dr LG Glendinning, Dr J Smith, Dr ES Some

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

EASTBIO Shaping Motion: Astrocyte Specialization within Motor Control Networks

University of St Andrews

School of Psychology and Neuroscience

Neurons are not alone in the nervous system. They are aided by a team of support cells that are increasingly recognised as having vital roles in all aspects of neuronal function. Read more

Supervisors: Prof GM Miles, Dr M J Broadhead

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

EASTBIO The role of eye position signals in spatial attention

University of St Andrews

School of Psychology and Neuroscience

BACKGROUND. Our senses relay a continuous stream of information to the brain. Attention is the mechanism by which the brain selects the most important information from this stream. Read more

Supervisors: Dr D Balslev, Dr JM Macfarlane

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

Eastbio: Improved hatchery production of the native oyster, Ostrea edulis, for aquaculture and restoration

University of St Andrews

School of Biology

Natural populations of the native oyster, an ecologically important species, are in serious decline throughout the species range. Read more

Supervisors: Dr C McDougall, Dr T Bean

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

Eastbio: Studying the mechanisms underlying pulsed contractions during Drosophila morphogenesis using sub-cellular and tissue manipulation

University of St Andrews

School of Biology

Background. To shape tissues and organs during morphogenesis, cells undergo complex behaviours, including movement and apical constriction. Read more

Supervisors: Dr M Bischoff, Dr J Januschke

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

Eastbio: Deep Learning for time-series from genomic biodiversity projects

University of St Andrews

School of Biology

Evolutionary biologists have long been interested in the question how populations adapt to changing environments. Until recently researchers were only able to sequence a few individuals at a single time-point. Read more

Supervisors: Dr C Kosiol, Dr R Borges

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

Eastbio: Molecular basis of viral superinfection exclusion

University of St Andrews

School of Biology

Background. Viral superinfection exclusion (SIE) occurs when a virus that has successfully established infection in a host cell subsequently prevents further infection by the same, or closely related viruses. Read more

Supervisors: Dr J Tilsner, Dr CM Czekster

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

Eastbio: Mechanism and consequences of lethal zygosis in bacteria restricting AMR plasmids.

University of St Andrews

School of Biology

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major public health crisis, largely due to the carriage of AMR genes on conjugative plasmids, mobile genetic elements that spread by conjugation between bacteria. Read more

Supervisors: Dr T Dimitriu, Prof M F White

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

Eastbio: Soundscapes of Recovery: Acoustic Indicators of Ecological Change in Scottish Rivers

University of St Andrews

School of Biology

Freshwater ecosystems are under increasing pressure from pollution, altered flow regimes (through both droughts and floods), land use change and climate driven extremes. Read more

Supervisors: Dr IM Matthews, Dr S Pulver

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

Eastbio: FoxP2 in Flight: Transgenic Bats and the Molecular Genetics of Speech and Language

University of St Andrews

School of Biology

Have you ever wondered how humans evolved the ability to speak to one another, which other animals share that ability, or how it is encoded in our genes and the brain? Our lab aims to answer these questions by studying vocal learning, the ability to modify vocalisations through experience, which underlies human speech and is found in only a handful of other species.

Eastbio: Design, synthesis, and mechanism of action of inhibitors of the human enzyme 2′-deoxynucleoside 5′-phosphate N-hydrolase 1

University of St Andrews

School of Biology

The human enzyme 2′-deoxynucleoside 5′-phosphate N-hydrolase 1 (DNPH1) catalyses the N-ribosidic bond hydrolysis of the noncanonical nucleotide 5-hydroxymethyl-2′-deoxyuridine 5′-monophosphate, producing 5-hydroxymethyluracil and 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate. Read more
