The proposed PhD project takes on a radical new path towards the study of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), which will open novel avenues for the development of breakthrough drugs with high-therapeutic efficacy against AD. This research path builds upon accumulating, compelling and independent lines of evidence, which demonstrate that a family of microorganism are associated to […]

The Centre for Doctoral Training in Biological Physics Across Scales (BiPAS) at King’s College London (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/nms/research/bipas-cdt ) is currently recruiting for 7 PhD studentships.  In particular, we are looking for students with a background in the physical sciences (e.g. physics, chemistry, maths, computer science, engineering) who have a keen interest in studying biological physics.  The BiPAS […]

This project is part of RMIT University node under the Australian Centre for Electromagnetic Bioeffects Research (ACEBR), which is a Centre of Excellence funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia since 2005. ACEBR’s remit is, among other things, to conduct cutting-edge research into potential health effects associated with exposure to the […]

Fully funded Ph.D and postdoctoral positions in the area of membrane biophysics are available in my research group at Ben Gurion University, Israel.
Our group applies analytical and computational methods of statistical mechanics to understand the physical principles behind the functioning of complex biological and biomedical systems. We are especially interested in developing coarse-grained physical models […]

There is a PhD scholarship (sponsored within NCN OPUS 16 scientific project) available in the group of Prof. Maria Ekiel-Jezewska of Institute of Fundamental Technological Research PAS, Warsaw, Poland.
The goal is to analyze dynamics of microparticles settling under gravity or entrained by external fluid flows. This goal will be addressed numerically and theoretically, with a […]

I have an opening for a PhD student in my group at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw (Poland).

The position is focused on theoretical and numerical aspects of the dynamics of elastic filaments in viscous fluid, with an experimental verification planned within the project.

It is a 3-years project with a possible extension by 1 […]

We are hiring! You are a Master student? Attracted by interdisciplinary research? Fascinated by biological materials? Join us to study how bacteria design and build their cosy slimy home!
The topic: Biofilms are complex 3D structures, which form as bacteria get embedded in a matrix of self-produced fibers (amyloid and cellulose). Because biofilms are known to […]

The Theoretical Biology Group at ETH Zurich is hiring a Ph.D. student to study multiscale mechanisms of evolutionary dynamics in microbes.  We will begin reviewing applications on November 15, 2018.  For more information on the position and how to apply, please follow the link:

Organisms are well known to produce their own antibiotic host-defence peptides that act through damaging bacterial membranes due to their different molecular composition compared to the host organism’s own cells. Some of these antimicrobial peptides are also known to have anticancer properties. One particularly promising anticancer peptide is polybia MP1 (MP1) from the venom of […]

PhD and postdoctoral openingsat CNRS’ LPTMS lab in Orsay (Paris area).
The postdoc will have the opportunity to work on frustrated self-assembly, theoretical descriptions of the cytoskeleton, protein-membrane interactions and
other problems at the interface between Statistical/Soft Matter Physics and Biology. He or she will be able to interact independently with the broad range of exciting biophysical […]

TwoPhD positions are available in the framework of the ERC StG project VARIAMOLS – Variable resolution algorithms for macromolecular simulations. The successful candidates will work on the development and application of computational methods for the study of large macromolecules – e.g. proteins and DNA. The research projects aim at the design, implementation, and application of […]

The University of Montpellier offers three PhD grants to carry on a PhD in Physics in the Laboratory of Charles Coulomb (L2C), starting on October 2018 and for a duration of three years.
Project description: 
During embryogenesis, tissues and organs develop through cell differentiation and reorganization. Individual and collective motion of cells leads to a flow tissue, […]
