A PhD position at the University of Luxembourg focused on developing computational methods for metabolic network modeling integrated with epigenomics, utilizing machine learning and large dataset analysis. The role includes teaching contributions and requires a master's degree in related fields.

This PhD project at the University of Dundee investigates how shape and form influence biological function by integrating physics and molecular biology. Students will model active matter systems to understand tissue/organ development, collaborating with experimental labs studying fruit fly embryos. Requires a physics/math background and training in computational methods, offering interdisciplinary skills for academic/industry careers.

This postdoctoral scholarship at Umeå University focuses on mathematical modelling of endosymbiotic relationships, employing dynamical systems and metabolic models to study the gains and losses of endosymbionts across evolutionary history. The successful candidate will work within the IceLab interdisciplinary research environment, supervised by Associate Professor Eric Libby, and contribute to a project funded by the Kempe Foundation. The position offers a tax‑free stipend of SEK 750,000 for two years, with start date 1 November 2026, and requires a recent PhD in mathematical biology, evolutionary biology, or applied mathematics, along with programming skills and interdisciplinary experience.

The University of Oregon's Institute of Molecular Biology is seeking applications for temporary research positions, including Postdoctoral Scholars. These roles involve conducting research under faculty supervision, with appointments lasting up to one year (renewable). Candidates must hold a terminal degree in biology, chemistry, or related fields. The positions emphasize diversity and offer a competitive benefits package.

A 4‑year fixed‑term Postdoctoral Research Associate position in Molecular Evolution and Functional Genomics, jointly supervised by Dr Gamze Gursoy and Dr Nicola De Maio at the University of Cambridge, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics. The project investigates how gene regulatory elements evolve across the tree of life, integrating comparative genomics, machine learning, and 3D genome biology.

The Wyss Institute at Harvard University seeks a Postdoctoral Fellow to lead innovative research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, synthetic biology, and drug discovery. The fellow will independently conduct research integrating AI methods with synthetic biology approaches to address challenges in drug discovery, present findings at internal meetings, mentor junior lab members, and contribute to grant writing and manuscript preparation. This one-year term position offers a competitive salary, benefits, and access to Harvard’s extensive resources, with potential extension based on performance and funding.

This postdoctoral position focuses on bioinformatics and regenerative biology using the crustacean Parhyale hawaiensis as an emerging model for leg regeneration. The successful candidate will analyze existing single-nucleus RNA-seq data to trace cell differentiation trajectories during regeneration. Funded by an FRM grant for 4–6 months starting September 2026, the role requires a PhD or equivalent, 1–4 years of research experience, and strong English communication skills. The work will be conducted at the Institute of Functional Genomics of Lyon in an international team.

The Postdoctoral Research Associate will work on developing AI-driven molecular dynamics simulation methods and applying them to drug discovery across multiple disease areas. The role involves algorithm development, data analysis, collaboration with medicinal chemists, manuscript and grant writing, and mentoring junior team members. Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Chemistry, Computer Science or related fields, with expertise in MD simulation, molecular modeling, and high-performance computing.
