We have 377 Microbiology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK
Defects, dynamics and supramolecular assembly: Combining the physics of soft 2D nanomaterials and in situ super-resolution bio-imaging to understand spatio-temporal dynamics in the bacterial outer membrane
The Gram-negative bacterial cell envelope is defined by an asymmetric outer membrane (OM) where the outer leaflet adopts a highly ordered structure composed principally of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) molecules. Read more
Elucidating interactions between rumen-derived fungi and bacteria via a biobank of simplified microbial communities
Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
PhD studentship: Understanding the retention and treatment of highway runoff pollutants within roadside bioretention systems – and implications for design and long-term maintenance
Award Summary. This project is part of the Water Infrastructure & Reslience (WIRe) CDT with a tax-free annual living allowance of £24,000 (increased by £300 in years 2, 3 and 4 each), a generous research training support grant + UKRI fees paid. . Read more

EASTBIO: Precision Molecule Editing to Accelerate Drug Discovery
Research Group:
Rebecca Goss
A key challenge in drug discovery is the ability to carry out late-stage functionalisation and diversification of a drug scaffold, especially when this involves C-H activation. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) The role of mitochondria on chromosomal mutation rates and antimicrobial resistance in hybrid species
Mutation rate is fundamental to the evolution of all of life. Mutations and selection are also the way microorganisms develop antimicrobial resistance. Read more
GIF CDT: Understanding the genetic building blocks of bacterial induced mineral precipitation in relation to the generation of bioconcrete
This advert will close once a suitable candidate has been found. This PhD is one of a number of projects hosted by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures (CDT-GIF). Read more
Ecology of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus epidermidis: competition, selection, and transmission
Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the most abundant commensal bacteria colonising skin and mucous membranes in humans, and has also emerged as an important opportunistic pathogen. Read more
Identifying metabolic perturbations that drive kidney cancer
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of renal malignancies and is associated with poor survival. ccRCC is driven by the loss of the VHL gene, which results in the constitutive activation of signalling mediated by the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). Read more
3-year funded PhD position: Characterisation of the viral and host factors contributing to HTLV-1 transmission
Human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 is a retrovirus which causes a range of diseases. malignancy (adult T-cell leukaemia); multi-system inflammation (with the most notable impact being inflammation of the spinal cord) and adverse impacts from co-infections. Read more
Are environmental E. coli a suitable hygiene indicator for the fresh produce industry?
Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
The oral tribology of alternative proteins
Are you ready to embark on a ground-breaking journey in research of oral tribology of alternative proteins? Join us in shaping the future of sustainable… Read more
What are the consequences of sexual dimorphism for habitat choice? Lessons from an actinorhizal dioecious plant (Hippophae rhamnoides L.)
Funding. This PhD project is part of a competition funded by SRUC. This opportunity is open to UK and International students and provides funding to cover tuition fees at the UK rate, plus a stipend to support living costs. Read more
Reducing the carriage of pathogens in the food chain using myxobacterial biological control
Sustainable production of nutritional protein for humans/animals via insect farming is growing exponentially (est. $17 billion pa by 2032). Read more
Assessing the potential for aerosol transmission of zoonoses within critical environments
Zoonoses with the potential to cause pandemics face two fundamental obstacles. The first is transfer between species boundaries, from reservoirs to immunologically naïve new hosts, and the second is efficient transmission between members of the new host population. Read more
Molecular Gastronomy – Functional Protein Discovery and Engineering for a Sustainable Food System
Unlocking novel proteins with specific functionalities — such as gelling, foaming, and lubrication — is a critical innovation challenge in the alternative protein sector. Read more
