Phd Studentship: A Single-Cell Atlas of the Euglena Gracilis Cell Cycle
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Euglena gracilis is one of biology's outliers. This single-celled protist diverged from plants and animals over a billion years ago, switches effortlessly between photosynthesis and feeding, and carries a genome stitched together from multiple ancient endosymbionts. It controls i…

PhD Studentship: Antibiotic Discovery in Streptomyces Bacteria
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Antimicrobial resistance in disease-causing bacteria represents a significant threat to global health. To address this, we urgently need to replenish the antibiotic discovery pipeline with new molecules. Most antibiotics in clinical use are derived from specialised metabolites ma…

PhD Studentship: Evolutionary and Ecological Impact of the Western Lifestyle on the Gut Microbiome
University of East Anglia·Norwich
The human gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem shaped by diet, the host and microbial transmission between people. While gut bacterial populations were once thought to be genetically stable, we now know that they can evolve within their hosts over remarkably short timescales. Ou…

PhD Studentship: How Long Does it Take Grassland Fungi to Recover After Disturbance?
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific Background Unimproved, sensitively grazed lowland grasslands are an ecologically vital but highly threatened habitat. These grasslands support diverse fungal communities, from the iconic and vulnerable waxcaps to a vast, poorly understood diversity of soil microfungi t…

PhD Studentship: Endosymbiosis-Mediated Regulation of Nuclear Calcium Signalling
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Primary Supervisor - Professor Myriam Charpentier Are you passionate about plant biology, endosymbiosis, or bioengineering? Join a cutting-edge research project exploring how plants communicate with beneficial soil microbes to uptake nutrients. This project aims to uncover key mo…

PhD Studentship: Engineering Gene Drives for Pest Insect Suppression
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Primary Supervisor - Professor Tracey Chapman Mediterranean fruitfly (medfly) is a global agricultural pest that causes annual billion-dollar losses and threatens food security. It is predicted to spread to the UK within the next 2 decades due to climate warming. CRISPR-based tec…

PhD Studentship: From Brain to Germline: How Perception Affects Genetic Inheritance
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Natural environments are changing rapidly as average temperatures rise and heatwaves become more frequent. How species respond will help determine whether populations adapt or decline. Reproduction is especially vulnerable: fertility can be disrupted at tem…

MB BS Undergraduate Medicine Pharmacology Lead
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Salary will be £113,565 to £150,569 per annum pro rata on the Clinical Academic salary Scale for Clinical Academics holding Consultant Contracts, in accordance with the associated threshold guidance. Norwich Medical School is looking to recruit a Pharmacology Theme Lead for our M…

Rewiring Photosynthetic Pathways in a Purple Bacterium
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Primary Supervisor - Professor Tom Clarke There is an increasing need for biological solutions to challenges such as metal recovery and detoxification of organic compounds from industrial waste. Many microorganisms have been engineered to allow these processes to occur, but they …

PhD Studentship: The Net Effect of Sex on Adaptation
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Background Why is sexual reproduction nearly ubiquitous among eukaryotes? Investing into offspring that are only half yours is known as the 2-fold cost of sex. What stops an asexual mutant lineage from invading and taking over? One hypothesis is that sex allows more efficient pur…

PhD Studentship: Quantification and Characterisation of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Wild Fisheries Species
University of East Anglia·Norwich
The characterisation of genetic diversity and demographic structure of fish populations are essential in assessing and maintaining stocks sustainability. Population structure and genetic diversity of stocks have mainly been assessed using limited genetic markers. While useful for…

PhD Studentship: Engineering Biology to Decode Gene Regulatory Networks in Lateral Root Initiation
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Are you a motivated undergraduate with a passion for engineering biology and plant science? We’re offering an exciting PhD opportunity with the Guiziou Group at the Earlham Institute using engineering biology and single-cell genomic technology to drive forward our understanding o…

Protein Use Efficiency in Wheat for Reduced Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emmissions
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Help shape the future of sustainable wheat production. We are seeking an enthusiastic and ambitious PhD student to investigate protein use efficiency (PUE) in bread-making wheat, an exciting research opportunity addressing one of the major challenges facing modern agriculture: ho…

PhD Studentship: Cloaks and Daggers: Fitness Effects of Ceratotoxin Antimicrobials in a Global Fruit fly Pest
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Strong interdisciplinary training, within the ARIES Ecology and Biodiversity theme, to equip you with high-in-demand analytical skills in phenotypic and molecular genetic engineering. Suiting an individual interested in tackling fundamentally important questions with applied pote…

PhD Studentship: Comparative Fisheries Management in the Arctic and Antarctic in a Changing Climate
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Climate change is rapidly altering marine ecosystems, particularly in the polar regions where warming is occurring faster than the global average. Changing ocean conditions are leading to substantial changes in the distribution, abundance and productivity o…

PhD Studentship: Where Does RNA go in the Cold? Visualising Coolair RNA Inside Plant Cells
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Plants cannot escape changes in their environment and must continually adjust their growth and development in response to temperature. Successful propagation of winter annual plants relies on vernalization, where prolonged winter cold triggers epigenetic modifications to ensure p…

PhD Studentship: Future-Proofing Celery with Pangenomics, Trials, and AI-assisted Gene Discovery
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Can we stay ahead of an emerging crop disease before it becomes established in Europe? This PhD will use genomics to future-proof celery against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. apii race 4, a highly virulent pathogen that threatens celery production globally. Working alongside industry…

PhD Studentship: Historical genomics of the declining red squirrel in Britain
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: The red squirrel in Britain is one of the most iconic examples of a declining population. It has suffered greatly since the introduction of the invasive grey squirrel in the late 1800s, but even before then it was struggling due to hunting and deforestation…

PhD Studentship: Good Vibrations: Evidencing the Links Between Soil Acoustics and Soil Health
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Soil invertebrates play a major role in carbon cycling, soil aggregation, plant health and food web dynamics. Maintaining and enhancing soil biodiversity is therefore fundamental to optimising soil health and function. However, current methods to monitor soil biodiversity and mea…

PhD Studentship: Climate change impacts on the Antarctic coastal ocean carbon sink
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific background: Remote Southern Ocean waters take up ten percent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by human activity, effectively slowing down global climate change. Wintertime sea ice cover controls CO2 uptake by Antarctic coastal waters. Recent and ongoing rapid sea ic…

PhD Studentship: Exploring the magmatic plumbing system of the Eastern Caribbean volcanic arc
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Scientific Background One of the key challenges in volcanology is understanding changes in volcanic activities during periods of unrest, particularly transitions from effusive to eruptive activity. Such transitions present significant challenges for hazard management (Joseph et a…

PhD Studentship: Watching a fungus fight back: mapping antimicrobial resistance in 3-D as it happens
University of East Anglia·Norwich
Primary Supervisor - Dr Trey Koev The chemicals that protect our crops and the drugs that treat fungal infections come from the same family. Fungi in the field meet them first — and are arriving in hospitals already resistant. Yet we still do not know what a fungus actually does …
