UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE PHD STUDENTSHIP IN MICROBIOLOGY

Application Deadline: Saturday, October 24, 2026

LOCATION: England

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship (home or international) in microbiology under the supervision of Professor Erwin Reisner within the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. The studentship targets the top candidates worldwide to join our international research team on a 4-year scholarship starting in October 2027.

ELIGIBILITY:

The Reisner Laboratory develops innovative technologies to convert solar energy into sustainable fuels and organic platform chemicals for a circular economy using a unique cross-disciplinary and collaborative approach.

Working with and learning from an experienced team of cross-disciplinary scientists, the PhD student will engineer live cells to convert carbon dioxide and other feedstock chemicals into bespoke complex chemicals. In a collaborative project, these cells will be interfaced with light-harvesting semiconductor systems that will provide the feedstock chemicals consumed by the cells to enable semi-artificial photosynthesis of organic chemicals. This research will thereby develop biohybrid technologies with the outcomes to be published in top-tier academic journals.

More information about the laboratory and project can be found here:
