SynBio CDT

We are launching a new DPhil (doctoral) training programme in Engineering Biology! Next application deadline 1st March 2024. Come join us! @oxengsci #Engineering #Biology #PhD ox.ac.uk/admissions/gra…

Interested in a #phd in Engineering Biology, but would benefit from training across Engineering and Biology? Apply for a DPhil (PhD) in our Centre for Doctoral Training! Oxford deadline is 12pm on the 8th Jan 2026. #EngineeringBiology ox.ac.uk/admissions/gra…

Our CDT focuses on how #syntheticbiology concepts and technologies can be translated into products with real-world impact. What's more, the EngBioCDT is part of the #TechExpert pilot offering stipends of £31,000 for students eligible for home fee status! @EngBio_CDT @EEBioPG

Please RT: I am hiring for a unique position of Research Fellow / Senior Researcher / Senior Postdoc! Join my #synbio lab @imperialcollege to coordinate and supervise research, apply for grants, write papers, and assist managing the team. ➡️ Apply now! lnkd.in/ehz4XUXJ
