Life Science PhD, Fellowship and Scholarship Deadlines: 136 Close by 2 November 2026
136 verified life science funding deadlines close by 2 November 2026, and 51 of them close by 26 October. Eleven close today, 19 October, including the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship in the life sciences and the DKFZ International PhD Program. This issue carries 212 records, 140 of them first listed since 12 October, each 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. The previous issue is the 12 October roundup.
The issue holds 212 records: 140 first listed since 12 October and the rest closing within a fortnight. The pattern this week is a handover. The European winter PhD rounds that dominated September and early October are mostly closed, and two new groups now carry the calendar. One is the Sao Paulo research foundation FAPESP, with 28 fellowship vacancies on funded projects. The other is the British doctoral training programmes for October 2027 entry, which open in late October and close through November. Between them sit the Indian walk-in interviews of 20 to 23 October and a run of American fellowships with late-October dates.

These are this week’s openings. The full list of every verified opportunity, with filters, is at stemskillslab.com/opportunities.
What closes first?
Eleven records close today, 19 October. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship takes life sciences applications today, and it is for United States citizens, nationals and permanent residents only. Two German doctoral rounds also close: the DKFZ International PhD Program in Heidelberg and the Graduate School Life Science Munich. So do Canada’s Canada Graduate Research Scholarship, Doctoral (40,000 Canadian dollars a year for 36 months), the international round of the University of Queensland research scholarships, and a Crick postdoc in the Chandra lab on brain evolution in acoel worms.
On 20 October the ICGEB South African Women in Biotechnology PhD Fellowships close, along with IISER Bhopal’s Institute Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Rs. 67,000 a month. On 22 October the ORFeus Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network closes its 15 PhD positions on the dark proteome, the largest single European call of the week. It follows the MSCA mobility rule, so you cannot apply to a host country where you have spent more than 12 months in the last three years.
Which major fellowships close in late October and early November?
The last ten days of October are where the best-funded fellowships sit. The HHMI Gilliam Fellows Program closes 27 October, and you apply as a pair with your PhD advisor. The IRB Barcelona extraordinary PhD call closes 28 October. On 29 October the Royal Society’s Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship closes for early-career researchers of any nationality, as does the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, worth up to 90,000 dollars but only for immigrants to the United States and the children of immigrants.
On 30 October the PhRMA Foundation closes six fellowships at once: predoctoral awards of 30,000 dollars a year and postdoctoral awards of 60,000 dollars a year, in drug delivery, drug discovery and translational medicine. Two good entry points are the Drug Delivery Predoctoral Fellowship and the Drug Delivery Postdoctoral Fellowship. Non-US citizens may apply, but the work must happen at an accredited US university. The same day the VIB-KU Leuven neuroscience PhD call closes. On 31 October the British Pharmacological Society AJ Clark Studentship closes, and it is one of the few awards where the student, not the supervisor, writes the application. Also closing 31 October are the IMPRS for Translational Psychiatry, two Japanese scholarships for foreign students (Honjo and Rotary Yoneyama) and the IBRO Neuroscience Training Grants.
The first two days of November are just as busy. On 1 November the Life Science Zurich Graduate School, the AITHYRA PhD Program in AI for Biomedicine in Vienna, the Aarhus Graduate School of Natural Sciences November call and the NASA Postdoctoral Program all close. On 2 November it is Imperial’s President’s PhD Scholarships, the NRC Research Associateship Programs and the Churchill Scholarship.
What is new this week?
The biggest new group is FAPESP. Its vacancies are posts on research projects the foundation already funds, so you apply by email to the named researcher, and the adverts are in Portuguese. Postdoctoral vacancies pay 12,570 reais a month and doctoral vacancies 5,790 reais. The ones with the nearest dates are a doctorate on plastic-degrading enzymes (30 October), two physiology doctorates on the anti-inflammatory reflex (afferent branch and efferent branch, both 3 November), and an energy metabolism postdoc (5 November).
The British doctoral training programmes for October 2027 entry are the second group. The Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute studentships close 6 November, the MRC LMS studentships in London 18 November, the MRC exposome immunology studentships and the CRUK Manchester Centre scheme 23 November, the MRC North West doctoral programme 27 November and the Norwich Research Park biosciences partnership 30 November. Most of these accept international applicants; read each record for the fee status rules.
For postdocs, the new records with the most time to prepare are the Simons Postdoctoral Fellowships in Plant Biology (3 December), the Research Manitoba Postdoctoral Fellowship (7 December), the Crick-PACE Postdoctoral Fellowship (6 January 2027), the Lalor Foundation fellowship (15 January 2027, open to citizens of any country) and the 14 Copenhagen BRIDGE translational fellowships (9 February 2027).
Which Indian institute posts are open?
Twenty Indian records are in this issue, and most are walk-in interviews between 20 and 23 October. BRIC-CDFD Hyderabad interviews for a bioinformatics Research Associate-I and a Senior Research Fellow in sugarcane genomics on 22 October, both for Indian nationals. Two posts were added this week at RCB Faridabad, both applied for online by 1 November: a Project JRF on diet solutions for phenylketonuria at Rs. 37,000 a month plus 18 percent HRA, and a Research Associate-I on algae and fungi for space nutrition at Rs. 58,000 plus 27 percent HRA. RCB’s six-month to one-year research training programme for the January 2027 session closes 30 October and suits final-year students looking for a dissertation lab.
Are there posts for bioinformatics and computational biology graduates this week?
Yes, more than in most weeks. On 30 October Linkoping closes a PhD on AI foundation models in medical science. On 31 October Amsterdam closes a PhD in explainable machine learning for single-cell biology and a postdoc in quantum computing for bioinformatics, and FAPESP closes two bioinformatics postdocs in Sao Paulo, one on Cell Painting image analysis and one on innate host responses. Later dates: the MPI-CBG applied and computational mathematics postdocs in Dresden (10 November), a Copenhagen postdoc modelling microbial soil carbon (15 November), Helsinki’s doctoral and postdoctoral posts in computational genomics for predictive medicine (19 November), an Aarhus PhD in computational mass spectrometry imaging (30 November) and a FAPESP postdoc in mathematical modelling of malaria (10 December). ETH Zurich’s digital twins PhD in Basel stays open until filled.
Which of these are closed to international applicants?
Twenty records in this issue are restricted by nationality or residence. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship, the Churchill Scholarship and the BAEF Fellowships for Americans need United States citizenship or permanent residence, and the Soros fellowship is for immigrants and their children. The BRIC-CDFD and IISER Bhopal posts are for Indian nationals. The ICGEB South African Women in Biotechnology fellowship is for South African women. The British Heart Foundation CHAIN PhD programme takes home-fee applicants only. The Royal Irish Academy’s Charlemont Grants, the SofinaBoel Fellowships, the Finnish Cultural Foundation grants and the two New Zealand scholarships each require a tie to their own country. If you are applying from India, the Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship, the Lalor fellowship and most of the British and European PhD rounds above are open to you.
What was left out this week, and why?
RCB Faridabad’s 2026-27 PhD programme was left out for its Rs. 500 application fee, and two THSTI listings for theirs: the winter PhD admission and a clinical research recruitment. We list nothing that costs money to apply for, even where a category waiver exists. An EMBL postdoc in three-photon microscopy prints its closing date as 09/11/2026, which can be read as 9 November or 11 September, so it stays out until EMBL writes the month. The USDA NIFA predoctoral and postdoctoral fellowships look open on the federal listing until 31 December, but the call document shows their own dates passed in April. Two sets of pages could not be read at all: a CDMRP Parkinson’s early investigator award and, once again, the NIH F-series fellowships. Every ICGEB call page we could check had already closed between March and May.
How is this list verified?
On 19 October we re-fetched 407 live records from the funding organisations’ own pages. Forty-seven were closed because their dates had passed and four undated records were retired on age. Fifty 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. No deadline moved. On eleven still-open records the page had changed enough that the checker could not find the stored date on its own, and we confirmed every one by hand, among them IRB Barcelona on 28 October, VIB-KU Leuven on 30 October, ANID Chile on 27 November and the Max Planck School of Biomedical AI on 1 December.
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. For the British studentships, contact the supervisor of the project you want before you apply, because many programmes rank candidates by project. For FAPESP vacancies, write a short email in English or Portuguese to the named researcher with your CV, and ask whether the post is still open. For the Indian walk-ins, carry originals and one set of copies of every certificate, and check the age limit against the interview date. If you want evidence of a specific 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.

The BRIC-CDFD and IISER Bhopal posts are for Indian nationals, the ICGEB South African Women in Biotechnology fellowship is for South African women, and the BHF CHAIN programme takes home-fee applicants only.
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 19 October 2026 we re-fetched 407 live records from the funders’ own pages: 47 closed on passed dates and 4 undated records were retired on age. Fifty pages could not be fetched and were left unchanged, because a failed fetch says nothing about whether a call is open. No deadline moved. Every new entry is read by two readers who never see each other’s work. Always open the official link before you apply.
