How do metals cross the bacterial outer membrane?
The micronutrients iron, zinc, copper, cobalt, and manganese play essential roles in the biogeochemical cycling of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus [1], and ensuring sufficiently high metal quotas is especially critical for photosynthetic organisms. Read more

Our Mission: to Educate, Nurture and Discover for the benefit of Human Health
Our ultimate purpose is to work in service of patients. RCSI was founded by Royal Charter on 11th February 1784, to set and support professional standards for surgical training and practice in Ireland. Read more
Investigating Noise in Ageing Cellular Power Stations
PhD Project. Imperial College Mathematics. Student Background. Theoretical Physics, Mathematics/Statistics, Electrical Engineering (Biological knowledge not required) or Quantitative Biology with an interest in experiment. Read more
Behavioural resilience to climatic variability
Now more than ever biologists are faced with the challenge of predicting how species will cope with extreme and rapid fluctuations in climatic conditions. 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
Male-male competition vs female choice: same-same or something different?
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
We are looking for a talented student to conduct their PhD on sexual selection in Drosophila. Typically, males compete with one another for access to females, and females choose their preferred suitor among competing males. Read more
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
Evolutionary ecology of host-parasite interactions
Proposed Start Date. September 2022. The body is home to trillions of microbes. There has been a surge of interest on the effects of these microbes on host health, often as agents of infectious disease. Read more
Evolution of Mammalian Locomotion
A PhD opportunity is available in the lab of Dr. Katrina Jones at the University of Manchester. The lab studies the evolution of mammalian locomotion drawing from methods in comparative anatomy, biomechanics, paleobiology, and evolutionary modelling. Read more
