Life Science PhD, Fellowship and Scholarship Deadlines: 31 Close by 21 September 2026
Thirty-one verified life science funding deadlines close by 21 September 2026. Two close today, 7 September, and the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships and the Royal Society University Research Fellowship both close on 9 September. Twenty entries are new this week. Every date here was read on the funding organisation’s own website on 7 September 2026.
This is our weekly funding roundup for life scientists. Every entry was checked against the funding organisation’s own website on 7 September 2026. Nothing here comes from a scholarship aggregator, and nothing here charges a fee to apply. If you only want the imminent ones, the directory has a closing this week filter.
Two things define this week. Europe’s institute PhD programmes have opened their winter calls almost together, giving a final-year master’s student a run of four-year funded positions to apply to between now and December, while the largest postdoctoral scheme in Europe closes in two days. Indian institute recruitment is doing what it always does in early September, which is turn over fast.

These are this week’s openings. The full list of every verified opportunity, with filters, is at stemskillslab.com/opportunities.
What closes first?
Two entries close today, 7 September 2026. The Junior Research Fellow post in Dr Reena Singh’s laboratory at BRIC-inStem in Bengaluru is one of them, and the other is the set of five fully funded PhD positions at Human Technopole in Milan awarded through the SEMM National PhD Programme in Systems Medicine.
Then the week’s two biggest closes fall together on 9 September. The MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 call, with a budget of 399.05 million euros, is the largest single postdoctoral opportunity in this index, and the Royal Society University Research Fellowship, worth up to 1,907,400 pounds over eight years, closes the same day. Two Indian project posts at BRIC-THSTI in Faridabad also close on 9 September, one at Rs 20,000 a month for a bachelor’s holder and one at Rs 67,000 a month on the Placenta Health Project.
After that: the Wits SARChI postdoctoral fellowship in South Africa on 10 September, the University of Sydney Research Training Program stipend on 11 September, four entries on 14 September including the Rolex Explorers Club Grant, and eight on 15 September.
Why did ten European institute PhD programmes open at once?
Ten entries in this week’s list are European institute PhD programmes, and eight of them were added to the index in the past week. This is not a coincidence of our own scheduling. Institutes that recruit a cohort rather than fill a single project run one call a year, and that call opens in the autumn so interviews can happen in the new year and students can start the following autumn.
The dates run from 15 September to 7 December and every one is in the table below, so you can apply to several. The nearest are the IMPRS for Functional Material Design and the Hubrecht International PhD Program in Utrecht on 15 September; the furthest is the IMPRS for Biology and Computation in Berlin on 7 December. Sanger, on 24 November, funds twelve studentships in genomics, computational biology and bioinformatics, which is the closest thing here to a direct route into the work our computational biology skills roadmap describes.
Two structural details matter before you pick. The Biozentrum fellowship in Basel is tied to neither a group nor a project, so fellows rotate through at least two labs before choosing a thesis group, while CRG in Barcelona offers up to twenty four-year employment contracts on named projects. And in almost all of them you apply to the school rather than to a supervisor, which means two referees must submit through a portal by the same date you do.
What can an MSc student in India apply to right now?
Seven Indian institute posts entered the index this week, each read from the institute’s own recruitment page and its advertisement, and each open to an MSc holder.
The Regional Centre for Biotechnology in Faridabad has three: a Project-JRF on drug-sensing pathways in multidrug-resistant Candida auris at Rs 37,000 a month closing 14 September, and two Mycobacterium tuberculosis structural biology posts closing 24 September, one on the ESX-1 secretion system and one on ribosome hibernation at Rs 42,000 a month. Both want gene cloning, protein purification and cryo-electron microscopy, and both are walk-in selections, so the closing date is the day you attend, not the day you submit a form.
Two close on 15 September, a Project Junior Research Fellow in the Developmental Chromatin Biology group at BRIC-inStem that asks for R or Python and NGS analysis, and a Senior Research Fellow or Project Associate-II post on genome-edited rice at BRIC-NIPGR. BRIC-THSTI has two more: a Project Research Scientist-II on BRAIN-TB at Rs 67,000 a month closing 21 September, and a Project Research Scientist-I building AI models from maternal and neonatal imaging data at Rs 56,000 a month closing 22 September, which accepts a B.E. or B.Tech in computer science and so is one of the few posts here a computer science graduate can enter directly.
Almost all require a national eligibility test, usually NET, GATE or DBT-JRF, and carry an age limit between 28 and 40. Check both first. None of the seven charges a fee. Thirteen Indian entries are open this week in total, and the directory keeps them together under opportunities in India.
What is here for an undergraduate?
More than usual, and most of it for next summer rather than this one. The northern hemisphere undergraduate research season opens now and closes in the new year, so what you write in the next four months decides what you do in mid-2027.
Three new undergraduate entries arrived this week. The FAPESP Bolsa de Iniciacao Cientifica in Sao Paulo state accepts applications in continuous flow with no deadline at all, and takes foreign candidates enrolled at a Sao Paulo institution. The NOAA Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship pays up to 9,500 US dollars a year across two years plus a paid summer internship, closing 31 January 2027. The Canadian Undergraduate Student Research Awards pay a 6,000 Canadian dollar minimum for 14 to 16 weeks, but each university sets its own date.
Six more undergraduate entries are already in the table below, from the Mitacs Globalink Research Internship closing 16 September to the Mayo Clinic and American Gastroenterological Association programmes closing 3 February 2027, and the summer programmes in Australia and New Zealand take undergraduates too. One trap is worth naming: the BSPP Undergraduate Vacation Bursary closes on 11 April 2027, but its supervisor stage runs in February, and no project exists for a student to choose unless a supervisor registered one first.
Which of these are closed to international applicants?
Ten, three of them new this week. You should know this before you spend a weekend on an application, not after.
The NOAA Hollings Scholarship requires United States citizenship. The Canadian Undergraduate Student Research Awards require Canadian citizenship, permanent residence or Protected Person status under subsection 95(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The Wits SARChI postdoctoral fellowship is open to South African citizens only, and says preference will be given to female candidates. All three ANID entries from Chile are for Chilean nationals: Fondecyt Postdoctorado 2027, the Beca de Doctorado BIO Fulbright ANID, and the Doctorado Becas Chile ANID-DAAD round closing 1 October.
The Mayo Clinic fellowship takes international students only if they are already enrolled full time at a United States college, and is closed to anyone who will hold a first bachelor’s degree before the programme starts. Both American Gastroenterological Association programmes and the BSPP bursary carry similar limits. Everything else here takes applications from abroad: the Sanger programme says so plainly, and all three FAPESP fellowships state that foreign candidates are eligible. The directory filters the whole index down to those in one click, under open to international.
Why do eight of these entries carry no date?
Because their funders have not printed one, and we will not invent it. Six are genuinely open ended: the three FAPESP fellowships accept applications at any time of year in continuous flow, the Wellcome Early-Career Awards have no deadline, the CRG undergraduate and master fellowships stay open until each project is filled, and the Canadian Undergraduate Student Research Awards print “Application deadline: Set by institution”, so the date that binds you is your own university’s.
Two are more awkward, and we say so on the record page rather than guessing. The American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowships close on 1 June and 1 December, but no year is printed against either. The Zonta Women in STEM Award is submitted to a local Zonta club, and each club sets its own date. In both cases we print the funder’s own wording and link the page that holds the operative date.
How many opportunities were dropped this week, and why?
Seven, and the reasons divide into two kinds.
Three went over a date we could not read safely. The ANII-Chevening master’s scholarships in Uruguay print 06.10.2026, where both components are twelve or less and the day and month order cannot be settled from the page. The Canadian Graduate Research Scholarship for master’s students prints “December 1” with no year anywhere. A research associate post at BRIC-NIPGR prints 11/09/2026, the same ambiguity. In all three the date is probably guessable, and that is exactly the problem: a guess here is a student missing a real deadline.
Three went because applying costs money, which this lane never publishes. The THSTI Biodesign fellowship charges Rs 590, reduced to Rs 118 for some applicants. The RCB Biosafety Support Unit post charges a non-refundable Rs 200. The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology PhD programme in Cambridge is free in itself, but you are considered only if you also submit a University of Cambridge admission application, which charges 20 pounds, so the award is unreachable without paying. The seventh, the Darwin Trust of Edinburgh studentships, went for a different reason: Edinburgh states the 2027 process is under review and the forms will not exist until November, so any date we printed today could move.
How is this list verified?
Every stored record was re-fetched from its funder’s own page before this issue went out. Of 235 checked, 24 closed because their dates had passed, 113 were unchanged and 81 were re-verified. No stored deadline changed anywhere in the index this week. Seventeen pages could not be fetched, and those records were left exactly as they were, because a page that fails to load tells us nothing about whether an opportunity is open.
Every new entry is read twice, by two readers who never see each other’s work. Disagreement about the deadline or the application page drops the record outright. Two candidates went that way this week. The index now holds 291 records, 222 of them open.
What should I do before the deadline?
Open the official link on the record page and read the funder’s own words first. Our record is a summary, the funder’s page is the authority, and a page can change between our check and your visit.
Then work backwards from the date. For the institute PhD programmes, referees are the part that fails: two academics who must submit through a portal by the same date you do, from their institutional addresses. Hubrecht states outright that making sure they do is your responsibility. Ask them this week. For the Indian project posts, most are walk-in selections, so gather the original documents you are told to bring rather than preparing a submission, and confirm your NET, GATE or DBT-JRF status first, because no amount of relevant experience substitutes for it. Portals queue on closing day, so submit before it.
If you are still building the record these applications ask for, our free skills assessments and certificates are one way to show verified competence in a specific method.

Which life science funding deadlines close this week?
Two close on 7 September 2026: the Junior Research Fellow post in Dr Reena Singh’s laboratory at BRIC-inStem Bengaluru, and the five fully funded Human Technopole PhD positions awarded through the SEMM National PhD Programme in Systems Medicine in Milan. Four close on 9 September, including the MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships 2026 and the Royal Society University Research Fellowship. The Wits SARChI postdoctoral fellowship closes 10 September, the University of Sydney Research Training Program stipend 11 September, and eight more entries close on 15 September. Thirty-one close by 21 September 2026 in total.
Why have so many European PhD programmes opened at the same time?
Because institutes that recruit a whole cohort run one call a year, and that call opens in autumn so interviews fall in the new year and students start the following autumn. Ten entries in this issue are European institute PhD programmes and eight arrived in the past week. The IMPRS for Functional Material Design and the Hubrecht International PhD Program close 15 September, Human Technopole’s Politecnico di Milano route 18 September, the IMPRS for Molecules of Life 7 October, the Biozentrum PhD Fellowships 18 October, the IMPRS for Biological Intelligence 10 November, the CRG International PhD Programme 22 November, the Wellcome Sanger Institute 4-year PhD Programme 24 November, and the IMPRS for Biology and Computation 7 December.
Which of these fund computational biology or bioinformatics work?
Several. The Wellcome Sanger Institute 4-year PhD Programme covers genomics, computational biology and bioinformatics across twelve funded studentships, closing 24 November 2026. The IMPRS for Biology and Computation at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics sits at the interface of molecular life science and computation and asks for knowledge of one with a willingness to gain the other, closing 7 December 2026. The IMPRS for Molecules of Life includes systems and computational biology, closing 7 October 2026. In India, the BRIC-THSTI Project Research Scientist-I post builds AI models from maternal and neonatal imaging data at Rs 56,000 a month and accepts a B.E. or B.Tech in computer science, closing 22 September, and the BRIC-inStem Project JRF asks for R or Python and NGS analysis, closing 15 September.
Can an MSc student in India apply to any of these directly?
Yes. Seven Indian institute posts entered the index this week and every one takes an MSc holder. Three are at the Regional Centre for Biotechnology in Faridabad: a Project-JRF on Candida auris antifungal resistance at Rs 37,000 a month closing 14 September, and two structural biology posts on Mycobacterium tuberculosis closing 24 September, at Rs 37,000 and Rs 42,000 a month. Two close on 15 September, at BRIC-inStem Bengaluru and BRIC-NIPGR New Delhi. BRIC-THSTI Faridabad has two more, closing 21 and 22 September, at Rs 67,000 and Rs 56,000 a month. Almost all require NET, GATE or DBT-JRF and carry an age limit between 28 and 40, and none charges an application fee.
Which of these are closed to international applicants?
Ten of this week’s entries. The NOAA Ernest F. Hollings Undergraduate Scholarship requires United States citizenship. The Canadian Undergraduate Student Research Awards require Canadian citizenship, permanent residence or Protected Person status under subsection 95(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. All three ANID competitions from Chile are for Chilean nationals. The Wits SARChI postdoctoral fellowship is for South African citizens only. The Mayo Clinic Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship accepts international students only if they are already enrolled full time at a United States college or university. Both American Gastroenterological Association undergraduate programmes and the BSPP Undergraduate Vacation Bursary carry national or institutional limits.
How often is this list updated, and how far can I trust it?
We publish a roundup every week and add newly verified opportunities in between. Before this issue every live record was re-fetched from its funder’s own page: 235 records were checked, 24 closed because their dates had passed, 113 were unchanged, 81 were re-verified, and no stored deadline changed anywhere in the index. Seventeen pages could not be fetched and those records were left exactly as they were, because a failed fetch tells us nothing about whether an opportunity is open. Every new entry is read twice by two readers who never see each other’s work, and disagreement about the deadline or the application page drops the record. Two were dropped that way this week. The index holds 291 records, 222 of them open, and every record carries the date it was last verified. Always open the official link before you apply.
