Explore the role of nutrients in Mycobacterium tuberculosis with a fully funded PhD project at the University of Manchester. This interdisciplinary opportunity combines microbiology, biochemistry, and analytical techniques in a research-focused environment.

This 3.5-year PhD project invites applications from home students. The successful candidate will receive a tax-free stipend at the UKRI rate (£21,805 for 2026/27) with tuition fees covered and expected annual increases. The project aims to elucidate how nutrient transport impacts the biology of this significant global health threat, addressing the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies against tuberculosis.

Key Responsibilities:
• Investigate nutrient utilization in Mycobacterium tuberculosis




• Conduct microbiological and biochemical analyses
• Utilize genetic and analytical methods in research
• Engage in collaborative research within a energetic team
• Provide insights into pathogen survival mechanisms

Requirements:
• 2.1 UK honours degree or higher
• Master’s degree in a relevant subject preferred
• Strong interest in pathogen biochemistry
• Research experience in microbiology desirable
• Commitment to addressing global health challenges

Embark on a unique research journey at the University of Manchester to combat tuberculosis.
