Experimental approaches to the evolution of anisogamy in a single celled alga
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
We are looking for a talented student to conduct their PhD on the evolutionary biology of anisogamy. Anisogamy is the difference in size between male and female gametes and is the driver of sexual selection and the evolution of the sexes. Read more
Choosing to persist: sexual section and conservation in the wild
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
The prevailing story of sexual selection, in which the sexes either compete for or choose the other sex, has been one of costly and detrimental extravagance. Read more

Development of Novel Nitrate/ Nitrite Reduced and Nitrate/ Nitrite Free Meat Products
PhD Opportunity. Teagasc is offering a Post-graduate opportunity in meat products development. The ‘No-2- Nitrates’ project (a collaboration between Teagasc, UCD and TU Dublin) is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. Read more
Pathophysiological role of TRPA1 in diabetic sensory neuropathy
Diabetes is one of the major health challenges of our time, affecting about 10% of the global population. Complications of longstanding disease affect… Read more
Investigating the impact of the mechanical code of the genome on protein:DNA interactions
Training opportunity. This project will appeal to a motivated student who wants training in the cutting-edge technologies surrounding genomic research. Read more
Measuring pesticide exposure and microbial-level impacts in soil ecosystems using novel passive sampler devices
This project is co-sponsored by Syngenta. Microbes represent the lowest trophic level and entry point to the food web and are critical indicators of soil ecosystem health under chemical stress. Read more

Electrochemical detection of unlabelled antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 variations based on carbon derivative electrodes
The investigation of infection-related biomarkers has become crucial after the outbreak of covid-19 in 2019. For this reason, research is vital to responding to the changing situation, caused by mutation of the virus, and the impacts of infection after it has occurred. . Read more
PhD Student in 3D skin proteomics
The Dengjel Lab at the Dept. of Biology, University of Fribourg (. www.unifr.ch/bio/en/research/biochemistry/dengjel.html. ) is interested in skin biology and wound healing (1-2). Read more
Understanding the link between SGLT2i’s and skeletal muscle health
Sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have provided a step change in the way in which we treat and manage those with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) through their role in the manipulation of glucose reabsorption. Read more
Detailed assessment of somatic genomic copy number variants (CNVs) in multiple system atrophy (MSA)
MSA is a devastating sporadic neurodegenerative disorder with strong similarities to Parkinson’s disease (PD). Both are synucleinopathies, characterised by inclusions of α-synuclein, which in MSA occur mostly in oligodendrocytes. Read more

Using structural biology to develop drugs and improve genetic testing for polycystic kidney disease
Are you looking for a PhD in structural and computational biology applied to drug development for human diseases?. This PhD project will investigate the molecular causes of autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), a rare inherited disorder that causes severe defects in kidney development. Read more
mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive. Read more
Seaweed Bioactives Supplemented Animal Feeds
Background. In many European countries, pig production is responsible for the highest consumption of veterinary antibiotics, particularly antibiotics such as penicillins, tetracyclines, potentiated sulphonamides and macrolides. Read more
Understanding fundamental aspects of viral capsid maturation in enteroviruses
Enteroviruses are responsible for a wide variety of diseases ranging from paralysis and death (e.g. poliovirus) to the common cold. Read more
