Life Science PhD, Fellowship and Scholarship Deadlines: 106 Close by 16 November 2026
106 verified life science funding deadlines close by 16 November 2026, and 14 of them close today, 2 November, including Imperial College London’s President’s PhD Scholarships. SNSF Ambizione and the Crick PhD programme close on 3 November. This issue carries 150 records, 63 of them first listed since 26 October.
This is our weekly funding roundup for life scientists. Every entry was checked against the funding organisation’s own website, nothing here comes from a scholarship aggregator, and nothing here charges a fee to apply. The full directory is at opportunities, with a closing this week filter. The previous issue is the 26 October roundup.
The issue holds 150 records: 63 first listed since 26 October and the rest closing within a fortnight. Most of the big autumn fellowship rounds have now closed. What remains this fortnight is a long run of individual PhD and postdoc adverts in Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands and Brazil, plus the first Erasmus Mundus master’s scholarships and US summer programmes for 2027.

What closes today and tomorrow?
Fourteen records close today, 2 November. The largest is Imperial College London’s President’s PhD Scholarships: 50 awards covering full fees for three and a half years and a stipend of GBP 27,036 a year. Nationality is not restricted, although Imperial says some departments may be unable to support international candidates. The IMPRS on Cognitive NeuroImaging in Leipzig, the NRC Research Associateship Programs and four Wageningen PhD and postdoc adverts, among them a PhD on genome evolution in unicellular eukaryotes, close the same day.
On 3 November the SNSF Ambizione final call closes. It funds early-career researchers to lead their own project in Switzerland for up to four years. The Francis Crick Institute closes its 2027 PhD studentships (a GBP 27,715 tax-free stipend, all nationalities) and the Future Leaders in Biomedical Sciences Scholarships for candidates of Black heritage on the same day, as does the Cologne Graduate School of Ageing Research.
What else closes before 10 November?
On 4 November the Crick’s Doctoral Clinical Fellows programme closes for clinicians, and the University of Copenhagen closes a PhD in computational RNA structure analysis. On 6 November the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute PhD studentships close, open to UK, EU and international students, along with the NOMIS Foundation ETH Postdoctoral Fellowship and the Schlumberger Foundation’s Faculty for the Future Fellowships for women from developing countries.
9 November is busy for neuroscience. The Sainsbury Wellcome Centre PhD Programme funds every student regardless of nationality, with UCL fees covered and a GBP 30,839 tax-free stipend. The same day Radboud University closes a PhD on transcranial ultrasound stimulation and Aarhus University closes a PhD on host-pathogen interplay using biostructure prediction.
Which major awards close between 10 and 16 November?
The week of 10 November carries several awards open to any nationality. The Azrieli International Postdoctoral Fellowship closes 11 November and pays ILS 14,000 a month at an Israeli university for researchers whose PhD was awarded no earlier than 1 November 2023. The John Innes Foundation Rotation PhD Programme in plant and microbial sciences closes 12 November, and the IMPRS for Biological Intelligence closes 10 November.
Mid-month brings two Flemish rounds and a Paris one. FWO’s Junior Postdoctoral Fellowship and Senior Postdoctoral Fellowship both close 16 November. So does the Pasteur-Paris University International Doctoral Program, which pays a salary on a three-year contract. On 15 November the Zonta Amelia Earhart Fellowship offers up to 30 awards of USD 12,000 to women doctoral students in aerospace engineering or space sciences. On 16 November the DKMS John Hansen Research Grant offers EUR 240,000 over three years to researchers within ten years of their doctorate, with no faculty post needed.
What is new this week?
Most of the 63 new records are single adverts on university job sites. The Crick posted a structural biology postdoc in the Chaaban lab (15 November) and a neuroscience postdoc in the Znamenskiy lab (27 November), both from GBP 47,500. Maastricht added six posts, including a PhD on cell-matrix interactions in dynamic hydrogels (15 November). Charité Berlin added a PhD on KRAS-inhibitor resistance in pancreatic cancer organoids (13 November), and Uppsala added two infectious-disease posts, among them a postdoc in in vitro and in silico bacteriology (11 November).
Further out, the Nottingham BBSRC Doctoral Training Programme closes round one on 8 December. Up to 30% of its cohort can be international, and those students get a scholarship covering the fee difference. Five Erasmus Mundus joint master’s programmes have scholarship rounds open: PlantHealth (31 December), GLOBE (4 January), EMABG and IDOH (15 January) and Master LIVE in vaccinology (20 January). Where a programme prints the figure, a full Erasmus Mundus scholarship pays EUR 1,400 a month on top of covering participation costs.
Are there posts for computational biology and drug design graduates this week?
Yes, more than usual. Uppsala’s Carlsson group has a postdoc in structure-based drug design using machine learning, closing 23 November, which asks for docking or co-folding experience. Leiden’s MSCA network ANA-KIN has a PhD in AI for non-ATP kinase drug discovery closing 12 November, subject to the MSCA mobility rule. KTH has a multi-omics machine learning postdoc in cancer biology (15 November), Utrecht a medicinal chemistry postdoc on Piezo1 inhibitors (18 November), and the University of Vienna a predoctoral post on coupled-cluster methods (30 November) where German is not required. If you want to build docking and molecular dynamics experience before you apply, our computational science roadmap sets out the order to learn it in.
Which US summer research programmes for undergraduates opened?
Nine US summer research programmes for 2027 joined the list, all paid and all for undergraduates. They include the Memorial Sloan Kettering Mechanistic Biology Summer Program (USD 6,500 plus housing), the UVA School of Medicine SRIP and the NYU Vilcek SURP, and six of the nine close on 1 or 2 February 2027. Almost all of them need US citizenship, permanent residence or enrolment at a US college. The MSK programme accepts international undergraduates only on an F-1 or J-1 student visa. Students outside the US should treat this group as closed to them.
Which of these are closed to international applicants?
Twenty records in this issue are closed to most international applicants. The Churchill Scholarship, the DOE SCGSR programme, the A.P. Giannini fellowship and the APS Lewis and Clark Fund for astrobiology need US citizenship or permanent residence, and so do most of the US summer programmes above. The BHF CHAIN PhD programme accepts home-fee students only, and the Crick AI/ML Clinical Fellows programme needs UK clinical registration. Two Maastricht PhDs and a Ghent veterinary PhD need Dutch at a high level, and a Charité spatial omics PhD needs formal recognition of a foreign degree. Each record page says this in its eligibility section.
What was left out this week, and why?
RCB Faridabad’s PhD admissions and its PGDIB diploma were left out for a Rs. 500 application fee. We list nothing that costs money to apply for. An EMBL three-photon microscopy postdoc still prints its closing date as 09/11/2026, which can be read as 9 November or 11 September, so it stays out. NIH F-series fellowships use rolling standard dates and their pages block automated readers, and the ICGEB, NCBS and inStem pages could not be read. The NSF items in this week’s federal feeds were awards to institutions or principal investigators, not to students. This week’s search of the federal feeds and Indian institute pages found nothing new that passed our checks.
How is this list verified?
On 2 November we re-fetched 445 records from the funding organisations’ own pages. Sixty-four were closed because their dates had passed. Eighty-nine pages could not be fetched and were left exactly as they were, because a page that fails to load tells us nothing about whether an opportunity is open. One deadline moved: the Crick’s Nurse Lab postdoc was re-advertised, and its closing date moved from 7 November to 14 November. Two independent reads of the new advert agreed before we changed it.
Every new entry is read by two readers who never see each other’s work, and if they disagree on the deadline or the application page, the record is dropped. Where they disagree on a softer detail, such as how a stipend is worded, the field is left blank rather than guessed.
What should I do before the deadline?
Open the official link on the record page and read the funder’s own words first, because a page can change between our check and your visit. With 41 deadlines by 8 November, choose the two or three that fit you best and finish those. For the Danish, Swedish and Dutch adverts, email the named supervisor with a short note before you apply. Some adverts, such as the Crick’s Nurse Lab postdoc, say they may close early depending on the number of applications. The FWO and Azrieli fellowships are held at a host institution, so contact a prospective host now. If you want evidence of a computational method on your CV, our free skills assessments and certificates are one way to show it, and our institute directory lists every open record by funder.

Leiden University has an MSCA PhD in AI for non-ATP kinase drug discovery, closing 12 November. Utrecht University has a medicinal chemistry postdoc on Piezo1 inhibitors closing 18 November, which lists molecular modelling among its skills.
Are Erasmus Mundus master’s scholarships open for 2027?
Yes, five are in this issue. PlantHealth closes 31 December 2026, GLOBE 4 January 2027, EMABG and IDOH 15 January and Master LIVE in vaccinology 20 January. Where a programme prints the figure, a full scholarship pays EUR 1,400 a month and covers participation costs. PlantHealth and Master LIVE consider only first-period applicants for scholarships.
Which of this week’s opportunities are closed to international applicants?
Twenty. The Churchill Scholarship, the DOE SCGSR programme, the A.P. Giannini fellowship and most of the US summer research programmes need US citizenship or permanent residence. The BHF CHAIN PhD programme accepts home-fee students only. Two Maastricht PhDs and a Ghent veterinary PhD need Dutch at a high level.
How often is this list updated, and how far can I trust it?
We publish a roundup most weeks and add verified opportunities in between. On 2 November 2026 we re-fetched 445 records from the funders’ own pages: 64 closed on passed dates, 89 pages could not be fetched and were left unchanged, and one deadline was corrected after the funder re-advertised. Always open the official link before you apply.
