Understanding how disease-causing NMDA-R mutations influence synaptic development and function across brain regions
Neurodevelopmental disorders are a major global health burden. One main challenge is understanding how, despite influencing the same genes, individual mutations can cause distinct symptoms, that emerge at distinct stages of development. Read more
What drives microbial diversity and how is this influenced by the environment
PROJECT TITLE. What drives microbial diversity and how is this influenced by the environment. DTP Research Theme(s). Living World, Changing Planet. Read more
Understanding the molecular mechanism of a novel innate bacterial defence system and its synergy with CRISPR-Cas
Prokaryotes have evolved over billions of years alongside their viruses, the bacteriophages, or “phages”. To prevent viral infection, prokaryotes have evolved rudimentary immune mechanisms, the most widespread and well‐studied of which are the Restriction‐Modification and the CRISPR‐Cas enzymes.

Atmospheric measurements and modelling to support the Montreal Protocol and international climate agreements
PROJECT TITLE. Atmospheric measurements and modelling to support the Montreal Protocol. and international climate agreements. DTP Research Theme(s). Read more
Re-engineering Golgi dynamics in plants – investigating the role of myosin receptors
The growing global population requires the development of novel strategies to sustainably increase food production. Organelle movement is dynamic and linked to changes in cell size, plant biomass and in response to factors which affect food production such as pathogens (Perico and Sparkes, New Phytol. Read more
MScR: Endosomal Trafficking Dysfunction in Astrocytes: A Roadmap to Alzheimer’s disease?
Previously thought of as only a support cell for neurons, astrocytes have now been shown to play an essential role in regulating synaptic activity and regulating transmitter uptake and release. Read more
Economics PhD at the University of Bristol
The University of Bristol's School of Economics is a thriving centre for teaching and research. We have an active and successful PhD programme, and over 50 research-active staff publishing in top international journals. Read more
University of Bristol Business School
The University of Bristol Business School is built on a strong tradition of scholarship and learning in business disciplines across Management, Accounting and Finance, dating back to 1955. Read more
Nanoparticle dynamics and behaviour - a new approach to tracking and measurement of key physical properties
There are an increasing number of global challenges such as the development of functional pharmaceutical nanoparticles for the delivery of innovative new… Read more
A comparative, mixed-methods study of the delivery of case-based learning in the Bristol Medical and Veterinary Schools
Case-based learning (CBL) is a core component of Bristol University’s innovative medical and veterinary curricula. CBL is founded on the problem-based learning educational strategy introduced at McMaster University and uses the seven-step methodology developed at Maastricht University. Read more
MScR: Synaptic plasticity and microRNA-dependent regulation of translation
Changes in synaptic strength underlie the formation of neural circuits during development and their modification in learning and memory processes. Read more
MScR: Understanding Cell Biology Through Imaging
We study the trafficking and interaction of molecules and structures inside cells. Extracellular signals need to be processed in a correct manner for a cell to function properly. Read more
Multiple PhD opportunities with the Experimental Particle Physics group at the University of Bristol.
The particle physics (PP) group at the University of Bristol is looking to recruit three PhD students to work on the Mu3e, DUNE and CMS experiments. Read more
MyWorld: Intelligent Underwater Scene Representation
Three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions obtained from image sequences are increasingly important as a means of enhancing our understanding of underwater organisms, objects, damage, and seabed structure. Read more
Automating knowledge synthesis in biomedical literature using AI and language models
Knowledge synthesis can be a slow and cumbersome process but is an essential tool for medical and public health policy-makers. Formal systematic reviews require rigid protocols and extensive human effort from trained professionals, whereas a massive volume of research evidence emerges every year. Read more
