(Bicentenary) Tracking horizontal gene transfer and the spread of antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic fungi
Background. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human health, with a global rise in untreatable bacterial infections. Read more
Optimising wheat-fungal symbioses for enhanced nutrition and sustainability
The global challenge of meeting food demand, particularly under the pressures of climate change, necessitates the optimization of crop nutrient uptake while minimizing resource inputs. Read more

The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
Next generation biomanufacturing: Development of Yeast based continuous bioprocess Upstream/Downstream
PhD Position. Next-Generation Biomanufacturing - Development of Yeast-Based Continuous Bioprocess (Upstream/Downstream). We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate for an exciting project focused on the development of yeast-based continuous bioprocesses. Read more
Using genome engineering and bioinformatics to understand heterochromatin and centromere function in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and in cancer cells
Centromeres are the DNA sequences on eukaryotic chromosomes that mediate accurate chromosome segregation at both mitotic and meiotic cell divisions. Read more
MSc by Research: Bittersweet - the consequences of anti-diabetic drugs on immunity during infection
The MSc by Research programme at the University of Aberdeen is for students interested in a research-intensive master's degree. It is designed specifically to enhance your skills for a PhD or research career. Read more
Identifying the molecular interactions that drive mucosal responses to the fungal pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus
Spores of the mould Aspergillus fumigatus cause >3,000,000 chronic and >300,000 invasive diseases annually worldwide. Invasive aspergillosis is the most fatal, with a 50% mortality rate. Read more
EastBio: Investigating RNAi function and regulation in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus.
Pathogenic fungi are a growing global health threat. The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus can cause fatal infections in people weakened immune systems, and is currently responsible for over 180,000 deaths per year, including 20% of all HIV/AIDS-related deaths. Read more
GW4+ DOCTORAL LANDSCAPE TRAINING PARTNERSHIP (DLTP): Ecology and evolution of mycelial cord formation in terrestrial fungi
Fungi are crucial to the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems, especially decomposition processes, nutrient cycling and plant nutrient uptake. Read more
Machine learning for Real-time Detection of Airborne Fungi
Scientific background. The air we breathe is teaming with microorganisms and other biogenic particulates (collectively referred to as bioaerosols). Read more
PhD in Medicinal Chemistry: Design of small molecules for the treatment of fungal and parasitic infections
Antimicrobial resistance is a rising global problem, with significant economic costs. The World Bank estimates that AMR could result in US$ 1 trillion additional healthcare costs by 2050, and US$ 1 trillion to US$ 3.4 trillion gross domestic product (GDP) losses per year by 2030. Read more
CR2025_40: Life in mines: exploring and harnessing the hidden microbiology of mine tailings, a journey of discovery and restoration
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted by the Natural History Museum, London*. The climate emergency demands a fundamental shift in our energy supply but technologies achieving this require an increased demand in metals and consequent mining. Read more
