We have 110 Microbiology PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Non-European Students in the UK
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
(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
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
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
Examining the potential of environmental DNA analysis and enhanced biosecurity for the management of Zoonotic Iceberg Diseases on Sheep Farms
Are you ambitious, driven and passionate about animal health and the agricultural industry? We are seeking a highly motivated and ambitious candidate to… Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Fungicides and Soil Health: Uncovering impacts for sustainable farming
Annually, millions of tons of fungicides are applied globally to protect crops from fungal diseases, ensuring food security and the production of healthy, high-yielding harvests. Read more
In silico methods to identify “design principles” for stable and robust microbiomes
Join the Tanaka group in the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London, as a PhD student and be a part of the Centre for Holobiont Research. Read more
Passing on the molecule of life: single-molecule investigation of unconventional DNA replication
A fully funded PhD studentship is available to investigate mechanisms that ensure accurate and stable DNA replication, crucial for multiplication of both normal and cancer cells. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Mobile Genetic Elements as key drivers for sustainable Wheat-Fungus Adaptations in a Changing Climate
As the world confronts pressing global challenges like a projected population surge to 9.7 billion by 2050, climate change, and the rise of pest pressures, innovative strategies to enhance crop resilience are essential for food security and environmental stability. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Intracellular dynamics of extrachromosomal DNA
The eternal arms race between bacteria and the mobile genetic elements (MGEs) infecting them, such as their viruses (bacteriophages) and plasmids, led to the evolution of sophisticated anti-MGE defence mechanisms. Read more
(BBSRC NWD) Understanding how commensal bacteria modulate the virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
The microbes that live on and in the human body do not do so alone. Bacteria which cause infections – pathogenic bacteria – infect as part of diverse, polymicrobial communities. Read more
