virus PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 94 virus PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
The MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR) PhD Funded Programme
The MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR) is pleased to welcome. applications for its prestigious doctoral training programme. Read more
Virus modification of nuclear condensates: understanding their role during infection
The nucleus is a highly organised yet dynamic environment containing distinct membraneless nuclear bodies. Viruses can sequester, reorganise, or degrade nuclear bodies to enhance their replication. Read more
Harnessing symbionts for control of vector borne disease in agriculture
Insects vector globally important diseases in agriculture, posing significant economic burdens and threatening food security. Virus transmission by sap-sucking insects account for nearly half of all plant pathogens, leading to >£24 billion in global annual costs. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Molecular interplay in plant-aphid-virus interactions
Aphid-transmitted plant viruses pose a major threat to potato crop production. Among the non-persistent viruses, potyviruses, such as PVY and PVA, cause significant economic damage. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Identification of cellular receptors for bunyaviruses, a group of emerging haemorrhagic fever viruses
Many viruses infect cells by hijacking cellular trafficking pathways, beginning by using their external spikes to bind specific receptor molecules on the cell surface. Read more

Many viruses infect cells by hijacking cellular trafficking pathways, beginning by using their external spikes to bind specific receptor molecules on the cell surface. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Understanding virus-virus interactions: from cells to populations
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Background and aims. Respiratory viral infections, including seasonal epidemics and pandemics, cause a major disease burden. Read more
Virus diversity and disease on UK trout farms: metaviromic approaches for improved fish health
What problem will I be helping to solve?. We know that about a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions come from food production. Read more
Investigating the Molecular Mechanisms of RNA Virus Persistence
Are you fascinated by the interplay between viruses and their hosts? Join our cutting-edge research team to uncover the molecular secrets behind RNA virus persistence. Read more
MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Can skin inflammation stop mosquito-borne virus infection?
The climate crisis is making mosquito-borne virus infections an increasing threat to human health. These viruses, such as those that cause Zika (ZIKV) and dengue, are infecting more people and spreading to new countries as the climate warms and globalisation helps mosquitoes spread. Read more
How do species differences in susceptibility influence virus transmission? NERC GW4+ DTP PhD studentship for September 2025 Entry Ref: 5401
Supervisors. Lead Supervisor Ben Longdon, University of Exeter, Ecology & Conservation. Additional Supervisors. Nathalie Stroeymeyt, University of Bristol, Biosciences. Read more
Employing molecular virology to investigate hepatitis E virus replication
This project is available to self funded candidates only. The Herod lab has a broad interest in virus replication, with a particular interest in studying single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses important for human and animal health. Read more

Novel Machine Learning approaches to model and understand RNA virus diversity
The project: . RNA viruses are an important class of pathogenic agents, both in human and non-human hosts. The complexity of the viral diversity and the host cell environment means that understanding the role of the virus in manipulating the host genome is complex and requires a targeted approach. Read more
China Scholarship Council: Exploring the role of extracellular vesicles in insect pest saliva
Sap-feeding insect pests cause significant economical damage to crops globally. While probing and feeding these insects secrete saliva inside their hosts which contains a wide range of molecules, including proteins, RNA, and metabolites. Read more
Viral-surface interactions studied by vibrational sum-frequency spectroscopy
The recent COVID-19 pandemic, and in particular fomite transmission of the virus, led to a lot of interest in how viral particles attached to surfaces, their survival times on different materials and how they transferred to hosts. Read more
