Two PhD scholarships for Pakistani students are now open through University College London's London Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program (LIDo). The opportunities, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, offer a tax-free stipend of £23,805 annually, equating to approximately £1,983.75 per month. Applications for the 2027 intake opened on October 1, 2026, and close on December 1, 2026, at 5:00 PM UK time.
The first project, Transmembrane Signal Processing in Synthetic Cells, involves developing tools for synthetic cells to sense and respond to environmental signals. Researchers will collaborate with Dr. Michael Booth, Professor Alethea Tabor, and b.next, a San Francisco-based synthetic-cell company. The successful candidate will participate in a three-month placement at b.next during the PhD.
The second project, Visual Coding of Objects During Free Movement, investigates how the brain distinguishes between self-generated and externally generated visual motion in freely moving mice. The selected student will work with NeuroGEARS Ltd and UCL researchers, gaining training in techniques such as Neuropixels 2.0 recordings, high-density electrophysiology, and miniature eye tracking. The project utilizes UCL's BonVision open-source virtual reality platform.
