Adapting machine learning algorithms to learn the rules of embryonic development
We are seeking a talented, creative, and friendly individual to join our interdisciplinary team. You will adapt cutting-edge methods from machine learning and numerical analysis to discover PDE-based dynamical models that describe how simple embryos develop into complex animals. Read more
Mathematical theories of symmetry breaking in embryos, organs and organoids
We are seeking a talented, creative, and friendly individual to join our interdisciplinary team. You will build physics-style mathematical models to understand symmetry breaking mechanisms that allow simple embryos to develop into complex animals. Read more
Understanding Dietary Fibre
Dietary fibre is recognised as a critical component of a healthy diet and there is strong evidence for its role in the prevention of non-communicable disorders such as cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as being an essential nutrient source for a functional gut microbiome.

Expansions in early learning and childcare: economic analysis of parental outcomes and preferences
Applications are sought for a 3.5 year full-time, self-funding PhD project to be based at the Health Economics Research Unit (HERU), University of Aberdeen. Read more
MSc by Research: Characterization of the molecular and cellular function of the schizophrenia risk factor CUL9
We invite applications for an exciting MSc Research Project investigating the function of risk factors for neurodevelopmental conditions in membrane trafficking in neurons. Read more
Making best use of big data to drive quality improvement of frailty services across Scotland
There is enormous variation in acute services for older people across Scotland with evidence of inequality in provision of care. This is important because older people are heavy users of acute services and are more likely to experience adverse outcomes such as long length of stay or early readmission. Read more
Exploring the cost-of-living crisis on women from underprivileged background living with obesity in Scotland: barriers and opportunities for weight management
The prevalence of obesity in Scotland is rising, with around two thirds of adults living with overweight or obesity. Obesity rates are 36% in areas in the highest quintile of deprivation and 26% in areas in the lowest social deprivation quintile. Read more
Frailty & Nutrition Evaluation – Protein Intervention & Education for Community Elderly (FINEPIECE Study)
Frail older people are at high risk of disability, dependency, cognitive impairment and mortality, and more often need long term care and hospitalization. Read more
Comprehensive meta-analyses of surgical repair of groin hernia
Applications are invited for this self-funded 48 Month project within the Institute of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Aberdeen. Read more
Deciphering the Antenatal signature and pathological placental lesions in second trimester miscarriage (the DAHLIA Study)
Late miscarriage, defined as the death of a baby in the second trimester of pregnancy (between 14 and 23 weeks’ gestation), at a time before a baby can survive outside the womb, is devastating. Read more
