EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Soft Matter for Formulation and Industrial Innovation (SOFI2 CDT)
20 fully funded, four-year PhD studentships are available in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Soft Matter for Formulation and Industrial Innovation (SOFI2 CDT) commencing in September 2023, for graduates in the physical and biological sciences, mathematics and engineering. Read more
A balancing act: how do hosts control metal availability to their microbiota?
The harmonious relationship between hosts and their microbiota has coevolved over millions of years, but this symbiosis is under constant threat by exposure to harmful microbes that can cause dysbiosis. Read more
Development of wild crop relative genetic resources to fine tune crop flowering time
Flax was domesticated for its seeds and fibre around 9,000 years ago and it has long been vital source of fibre and seed oil. Minor crops like flax are gaining attention to diversify farming in the UK and beyond to make agriculture more sustainable and resilient to global change challenges. Read more
Identification of phosphatases that inactivate the endoplasmic reticulum stress sensor Ire1
A self-funded PhD studentship is available in the group of Dr. Martin Schröder in the Department of Biosciences at Durham University to study stress signalling mechanisms originating from the endoplasmic reticulum. Read more
Characterisation of cell death pathways upon activation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress sensor IRE1alpha
A PhD studentship to investigate cell death pathways activated by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is available in the group of Dr. Read more
Inter- and intra- individual variation in communication and signaling in colonially breeding pinnipeds
Background. It is now widely recognised that wild animal populations are typically comprised of individuals with differing behavioural phenotypes, such as foraging specialisms, space use and dispersal patterns, stress coping styles and consistent individual differences (CIDs) in behaviour (aka.

Structure and mechanism of how phages modulate bacterial immunity
We are seeking an enthusiastic and motivated PhD candidate to study the how the bacterial dNTPase protein is inhibited by T7-like phages using a structural biology and biophysics approach. Read more
Stress and aging in the Nuclear Pore Complex and associated cytoskeleton: a 3D super-resolution light and electron microscopy study
Introduction. the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the gateway into and from the nucleus. It has a barrier function, preventing non-specific leakage of macromolecules, as well as specific transport functions (e.g. Read more
