Life Science PhD, Fellowship and Scholarship Deadlines: 74 Close by 19 October 2026
Seventy-four verified life science funding deadlines close by 19 October 2026, and thirty-seven of them close by 11 October. Nine European PhD programmes shut between 7 and 19 October, and thirty-nine of the seventy-four are Indian project posts. New this week are the Branco Weiss Fellowship and four Uppsala University positions. Every date was read on the funder’s own website.
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. There was no roundup last week, so the previous issue is the 5 October roundup, and this one also carries what the directory added in between.
A hundred and fifteen records are in this issue: sixty-four first listed since 28 September and the rest closing within a fortnight. The pattern has changed since September. Twelve records close today, most of them Indian walk-ins, and after that the pressure moves to Europe, where the winter PhD rounds that opened in September now close one after another. Thirteen records close on 15 October alone.

These are this week’s openings. The full list of every verified opportunity, with filters, is at stemskillslab.com/opportunities.
What closes first?
Twelve records close today, 5 October, including Parkinson Canada’s Graduate Student Award and Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. The AACR-AstraZeneca Fellowship for digital pathology and AI training closes on 6 October. On 7 October the IMPRS for Molecules of Life closes its PhD round, and BRIC-inStem Bengaluru closes a Project Associate-I in stem cell and neurobiology.
The second week belongs to the European graduate schools. The EMBL International PhD Programme closes on 12 October. On 15 October four close together: the Vienna BioCenter PhD Programme, the Dresden PhD Winter Selection, the International PhD Programme in Mainz and the IMPRS for Brain and Behavior. The Biozentrum PhD Fellowships in Basel follow on 18 October, and on 19 October the DKFZ International PhD Program and the Graduate School Life Science Munich both close. That is nine PhD programmes in thirteen days, and they depend on reference letters. If you have not asked your referees yet, do that before anything else.
Outside Europe, 19 October is also the date for the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program, the Canada Graduate Research Scholarship, Doctoral at 40,000 Canadian dollars a year, and the University of Queensland graduate research scholarships.
Are there posts for bioinformatics and computational biology graduates this week?
Yes, at every level from a bachelor’s degree to a postdoc. In India, IISER Kolkata closes three on 11 October: a Junior Research Fellow in computational biophysical chemistry working on protein and nucleic acid interactions, a Junior Research Fellow in single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, both at Rs. 37,000 a month, and a Research Associate-1 in the same biophysical chemistry group at Rs. 58,000 plus house rent allowance for PhD holders. IISER Tirupati’s JRF on multiscale modelling of photoswitchable GPCR drugs closes 8 October. THSTI Faridabad’s Junior Data Scientist post pays Rs. 50,000 a month and closes 12 October. BRIC-RGCB’s Project Technical Support-III on machine learning for nanopore signals takes a BCA or a B.Tech in computer science and closes 14 October.
Abroad, the new entries this week are in Sweden. Uppsala University has a PhD position in bioinformatics and evolutionary microbiology closing 29 October, which asks for documented Python or R and experience with metagenomics, and a postdoc in pharmacometrics for regulatory science closing 23 October. Its postdoc in computational chemistry, closing 30 October, trains machine-learned force fields and runs molecular dynamics, but the application is sodium battery electrolytes rather than biology, so read the project before you apply. Linkoping University’s PhD in AI and bioinformatics on single-cell foundation models also closes 30 October. All four are salaried employment, and none of the adverts prints a salary figure.
Further out, the AITHYRA PhD Program in AI for Biomedicine in Vienna closes 1 November and the NITMB Fellows Program in Chicago closes 15 November. If you are deciding which methods to learn first, our computational biology skills roadmap sets out an order.
Which fellowships and PhD programmes are new this week?
The largest new award is the Branco Weiss Fellowship: up to 600,000 Swiss francs over a maximum of five years, held at a host institution of your choice anywhere in the world, with no citizenship rule stated. It closes 15 January 2027. You need a PhD awarded no more than five years before that date, a project outside the mainstream of your field, and an invitation letter from a host.
The PhRMA Foundation has six fellowships closing 30 October, in drug discovery, drug delivery and translational medicine. The predoctoral awards, such as the Drug Discovery Predoctoral Fellowship, pay 30,000 US dollars a year for up to two years, and the postdoctoral ones, such as the Drug Discovery Postdoctoral Fellowship, pay 60,000. Non-US citizens may apply, but only if they are based at an accredited US university.
Three funded PhD routes are open with November dates: the Crick PhD Studentship at 27,715 pounds a year (3 November), the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre PhD in Neuroscience at 30,839 pounds a year (9 November), and Uppsala’s PhD in limnology on modelling phytoplankton succession (25 November). For postdocs, the Research Foundation Flanders junior and senior fellowships close 16 November, the Swiss Ambizione call, which the SNSF describes as the final one, closes 3 November, and the Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship closes 29 October. The NASA Postdoctoral Program, which covers biology and astrobiology and accepts foreign nationals eligible for a J-1 visa, closes 1 November with stipends from 70,000 US dollars a year.
What is open at Indian institutes?
Thirty-nine of the seventy-four records closing by 19 October are Indian. BRIC-RGCB in Thiruvananthapuram published five adverts on 1 October that all close on 14 October, for Indian citizens only. Four sit on one cervical cancer project, including a Project Research Scientist-I on AI-integrated nanopore sensing at Rs. 56,000 a month plus 20 per cent house rent allowance, and the fifth is a Junior Research Fellow on the IARC-WHO HPV vaccination study at Rs. 37,000. CDFD Hyderabad has three research posts closing 22 October, the latest closing date of any Indian entry in this issue.
Researchers in eligible countries should also note the UNESCO/Keizo Obuchi Research Fellowships, whose deadline UNESCO has extended from 30 September to 15 October 2026. It is open only to nationals of the invited member states listed in the call, and applications go through your country’s National Commission for UNESCO, which UNESCO asks you to reach at least two weeks ahead. Check the list on the record page, and contact your commission today if you intend to apply.
Which of these are closed to international applicants?
Twenty-eight records in this issue explicitly exclude applicants from abroad. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship and the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology require United States citizenship or permanent residence. The new NCI F99/K00 transition award lets anyone apply but requires citizenship or a green card by the time the award is made. The AAAS Mass Media Fellowship needs US citizenship or an existing visa that permits paid summer work. All five BRIC-RGCB posts are for Indian citizens.
Other bars are about where you are, not your passport. The SofinaBoel Fellowships need a paid affiliation at a Belgian university, the Charlemont Grants need you to live and work in Ireland, and Luxembourg’s FNR AFdoc needs a clear link to Luxembourg. Everything confirmed open to applicants from abroad is under open to international.
What was left out this week, and why?
Five candidates were checked this week and not listed. KAUST’s Visiting Student Research Program pays a stipend and states that it has no application fee, but it asks for a passport with the application, and we do not list anything that demands identity documents before a selection decision. KAUST’s degree fellowship has the same requirement and labels all of its dates tentative. Japan’s ITO Foundation scholarship has reopened for 2027, but its pages print no award amount, so we could not describe it honestly. A BRIC-NCCS Pune advert gives its last date only as 12.10.2026, which cannot be told apart from 10 December without the month in words. The NCI K99/R00 award was dropped because our two readers disagreed on how to class its deadline. Several Swedish posts at Karolinska, Lund and Gothenburg were also left out, because their details sit on a third-party recruitment site and not on the university’s own domain.
How is this list verified?
On 5 October we re-fetched 307 live records from the funding organisations’ own pages. Forty-nine were closed because their dates had passed and ten undated records were retired on age. Forty-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 date moved: the UNESCO/Keizo Obuchi extension described above, which we confirmed by reading the page ourselves. 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. Six records passed that check today and were added.
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.
For the European PhD rounds, the step that fails is the reference letter, because it depends on someone else. Check on each programme’s page how referees are contacted, and aim to submit several days early. For the Indian posts, check three things before you send anything: whether a NET or GATE score is required, the upper age limit, which is counted on the closing date, and whether candidates with results awaited are accepted. For the Swedish positions, note that the adverts print no salary, so ask the named contact if that matters to your decision. If you want evidence of a specific method on your CV, our free skills assessments and certificates are one way to show it.

The Biozentrum PhD Fellowships in Basel close 18 October, and the DKFZ International PhD Program and the Graduate School Life Science Munich close 19 October 2026.
Which posts this week suit a bioinformatics or computational biology graduate?
In India: IISER Kolkata’s JRF in computational biophysical chemistry and its JRF in single-cell RNA sequencing analysis, both closing 11 October at Rs. 37,000 a month; IISER Tirupati’s JRF modelling photoswitchable GPCR drugs, closing 8 October; THSTI’s Junior Data Scientist at Rs. 50,000 a month, closing 12 October; and BRIC-RGCB’s machine learning post on nanopore signals, closing 14 October. Abroad: Uppsala University’s PhD in bioinformatics and evolutionary microbiology (29 October 2026), Linkoping University’s PhD in AI and bioinformatics (30 October 2026) and the AITHYRA PhD in AI for Biomedicine in Vienna (1 November 2026).
What is the Branco Weiss Fellowship and who can apply?
It is a personal research fellowship of up to 600,000 Swiss francs over a maximum of five years, and up to ten are awarded each year. You choose your own host institution anywhere in the world, and no citizenship or residency rule is stated. You must hold a PhD on 15 January 2027, awarded no more than five years before that date, must not have held a faculty-equivalent position, and need an invitation letter from a prospective host. The 2027 round closes on 15 January 2027.
Which of this week’s opportunities are closed to international applicants?
Twenty-eight. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the DOE Computational Science Graduate Fellowship and the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Biology need United States citizenship or permanent residence, and the NCI F99/K00 award needs it by the time of award. All five BRIC-RGCB posts are for Indian citizens only. The SofinaBoel Fellowships, the Charlemont Grants and FNR AFdoc are tied to Belgium, Ireland and Luxembourg. The PhRMA Foundation fellowships accept non-US citizens, but only at an accredited US university.
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 5 October 2026 we re-fetched 307 live records from the funders’ own pages: 49 closed on passed dates and 10 undated records were retired on age. Forty-nine pages could not be fetched and were left unchanged, because a failed fetch says nothing about whether a call is open. One deadline moved: UNESCO extended the Keizo Obuchi Research Fellowships to 15 October 2026. Every new entry is read by two readers who never see each other’s work. Always open the official link before you apply.
