Life Science PhD, Fellowship and Scholarship Deadlines: 76 Close by 26 October 2026
Seventy-six verified life science funding deadlines close by 26 October 2026, and forty-six of them close by 19 October. Seventeen records close on 15 October alone, most of them European PhD programmes. Thirty records were added this week, including five Aarhus PhD calls, six FAPESP vacancies and twelve Indian posts. 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. The previous issue is the 5 October roundup.
A hundred and twenty-six records are in this issue: sixty-eight first listed since 6 October and the rest closing within a fortnight. The shape of the fortnight is clear. The European winter PhD rounds that opened in September close in a cluster between 12 and 19 October, and then the pressure moves to Indian walk-in interviews, which fill the week of 21 to 23 October. After that the calendar opens up again: Aarhus, Amsterdam, Wageningen and Sao Paulo all have dates in late October and early November.

These are this week’s openings. The full list of every verified opportunity, with filters, is at stemskillslab.com/opportunities.
What closes first?
Nine records close today, 12 October. The largest is the EMBL International PhD Programme. Two University of Copenhagen positions close with it, a PhD fellowship in stem cell immunoavoidance and a research assistant post with the possibility of a PhD fellowship in vaccine platforms, and so does the Zukunftskolleg two-year postdoctoral fellowship in Konstanz. The five BRIC-RGCB posts in Thiruvananthapuram close on 14 October, as does the Studienstiftung doctoral scholarship for students enrolling at a German university.
Then comes 15 October, the heaviest day of the fortnight with seventeen closings. Four graduate programmes 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. Three Scandinavian positions close the same day, Umea University’s PhD in oral microbiome eco-mechanics, Linkoping University’s PhD on detection and pharmacology of new psychoactive substances and Copenhagen’s PhD fellowship in soil fertility and phosphorus. For postdocs, the Sigrid Juselius Fellowship in Finland and the CurePSP New Investigator Award close on 15 October too, and the UNESCO/Keizo Obuchi Research Fellowships reach the date to which UNESCO extended them.
The Biozentrum PhD Fellowships in Basel close on 18 October. On 19 October the DKFZ International PhD Program and the Graduate School Life Science Munich close in Germany, and outside Europe so do the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program, the Canada Graduate Research Scholarship, Doctoral and the University of Queensland graduate research scholarships. Every one of these programmes asks for reference letters. If your referees have not been briefed, that is today’s job, not the application form.
Which Indian institute posts close this fortnight?
Twenty-nine of the seventy-six records closing by 26 October are Indian, and most of them are walk-in interviews, so the date is the day you have to be in the room with your documents. Twelve Indian posts were added this week. The best paid is IISER Bhopal’s Institute Post-Doctoral Fellowship in epigenetics and cancer biology at Rs. 67,000 a month plus house rent allowance, applied for by email by 20 October, for Indian nationals with a PhD and a first-author paper.
On 22 October four institutes interview at once. BRIC-CDFD Hyderabad has a Research Associate-I in bioinformatics on its paediatric rare genetic disorders mission at Rs. 47,000 a month plus 24 per cent house rent allowance, alongside the three CDFD research posts we listed last week. THSTI Faridabad interviews for a Research Associate-I on the developmental origins of metabolic syndrome at Rs. 58,000 and a Project Associate on LC-MS metabolomics in a diabetes cohort. IISER Tirupati takes applications by that date for two Junior Research Fellow or Project Associate posts on iron use efficiency in crops. CSIR-IHBT Palampur runs its Aroma Mission walk-ins over three days: plant breeding and microbiology on 21 October, molecular biology and genomics on 22 October and agronomy and entomology on 23 October.
On 23 October THSTI interviews for a Project Research Scientist-I screening molecules against tuberculosis persisters at Rs. 56,000, and CSIR-CIMAP’s Bengaluru centre for a Project Associate-II in gene cloning and yeast engineering. THSTI’s Project Technical Support-III on circular RNA in lung fibrosis follows on 26 October, and Bose Institute Kolkata interviews on 28 October for a Project Research Scientist-I and two technical support posts on an EGFR-targeted cancer project. On every advert, check whether a NET or GATE score changes the pay band.
Are there posts for bioinformatics and computational biology graduates this week?
Yes, and this week more of them are abroad than in India. In the Netherlands, the University of Amsterdam closes a PhD in explainable machine learning for single-cell biology and a postdoc in quantum computing for bioinformatics on 31 October, Groningen closes a PhD in data science on digital proxies of reward and impulsivity on 30 October, and Utrecht closes a PhD on the biophysical origins of RNA toxicity in Huntington’s disease on 31 October. All four pay the Dutch university scale, from 3,204 euros a month in the first year. Uppsala’s PhD in bioinformatics and evolutionary microbiology, listed last week, closes 29 October.
Two new routes are open with no fixed date. ETH Zurich’s Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering in Basel is recruiting for computational methods for digital twins of embryonic development and for digital twins of embryonic development on a rolling basis until the positions are filled, which means early applicants have the advantage. In Brazil, FAPESP lists two postdoctoral vacancies in bioinformatics, one on single-cell analysis of immune regulation in sepsis at the University of Sao Paulo and one on image analysis for Cell Painting screens against intracellular bacteria at the Institut Pasteur de Sao Paulo, both closing 31 October at 12,570 reais a month. In India, the CDFD bioinformatics Research Associate above is the one computational postdoc of the week. 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?
Aarhus University’s Graduate School of Natural Sciences opened its November round, and five of its calls are in the life sciences, all closing 1 November: a PhD on RNA modifications and RNA-binding proteins, two PhD positions on anaerobic growth of methane-oxidising bacteria, a PhD on imaging microbe-electrode interfaces and two Arctic ecology projects, one on catchment-to-freshwater connectivity and one on fjord-to-coast marine ecosystems. They are salaried positions under the Danish collective agreement, and no nationality rule is stated. The University of Amsterdam adds a PhD in deep-sea benthic ecology in the Arctic Ocean, closing 31 October, with sea-going expeditions as part of the job.
Latin America is new to this roundup. FAPESP, the Sao Paulo research foundation, lists funded vacancies on its own site. Beyond the two bioinformatics postdocs above we verified a postdoc on host-microbiota interaction at Unicamp (2 November), a doctorate in immunometabolism (1 December), a direct doctorate on enzymes that degrade biofilm polysaccharides (30 December) and a postdoc in neuroimmunology of sepsis (31 December). The adverts are in Portuguese and you apply by email to the named researcher. Chile’s ANID has opened its National Doctoral Scholarship for the 2027 academic year, closing 27 November, open to foreigners with or without residence in Chile once admitted to an accredited Chilean doctoral programme.
Two United States fellowships with long runways were added. The Victor A. McKusick Fellowship pays 100,000 US dollars over two years to a PhD holder, or 150,000 to an MD, for research on Marfan syndrome and related conditions; it closes 25 January 2027 and its guidelines say non-US citizens are encouraged to apply. The CRI Irvington Postdoctoral Fellowship pays 74,000, 76,000 and 78,000 US dollars over three years in cancer immunology, has no citizenship rule, and closes 1 March 2027. Adelaide University’s Graduate Research Talent Scheme closes 2 November, but international applicants qualify only with an Australian or New Zealand degree.
Which of these are closed to international applicants?
Sixteen records in this issue explicitly exclude applicants from abroad. Among them, the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and the NCI F99/K00 transition award need United States citizenship or permanent residence. All five BRIC-RGCB posts, the four CDFD posts, the IISER Tirupati posts and the IISER Bhopal fellowship are for Indian nationals. The ICGEB South African Women in Biotechnology PhD fellowship is for South African women and the SofinaBoel Fellowships need a paid affiliation at a Belgian university. The Adelaide scheme admits international applicants only with an Australian or New Zealand qualification. Most Indian walk-in adverts do not state a nationality rule at all, and we record that as unknown rather than as open. Everything confirmed open to applicants from abroad is under open to international.
What was left out this week, and why?
The best opportunity we could not list is the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology’s 2027 PhD round in Cambridge, which pays 23,945 pounds a year and accepts all nationalities. Applications go through the University of Cambridge portal, which charges a 20 pound fee, and we list nothing that costs money to apply for, even where a waiver exists. Scripps Research was left out for its 100 dollar application fee, two Indian adverts at ACTREC Mumbai and IBSD Imphal for demanding an Aadhaar number with the application, and THSTI’s PhD admission for its fee. The NIH F-series fellowships could not be read on any page our checker can reach. Van Andel Institute and the American Cancer Society print their deadlines without a year, an Umea University advert gives two closing dates on one page, and a Wageningen advert still carries an unfilled date placeholder. Each stays out until the funder’s page is unambiguous.
How is this list verified?
On 12 October we re-fetched 300 live records from the funding organisations’ own pages. Thirty-one were closed because their dates had passed and five undated records were retired on age. Sixty-three 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. Four pages had changed enough that the checker could not find the stored date on its own, and we confirmed all four by hand: DKFZ still prints 19 October, RCB Faridabad still prints 30 October, NITMB still prints 15 November and the Max Planck School of Biomedical AI still prints 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. Thirty records passed that check this week. Where the readers disagreed on a softer detail, 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 European PhD rounds closing this week, the reference letter is the step that fails, because it depends on someone else. For the Indian walk-ins, carry originals and one set of copies of every certificate, and check the age limit against the interview date. For the Dutch and Danish positions, write to the named contact with a specific question before you apply. If you want evidence of a specific method on your CV, our free skills assessments and certificates are one way to show it.

What are the new FAPESP fellowship vacancies and who can apply?
FAPESP, the Sao Paulo research foundation, lists vacancies on projects it already funds. Six were verified this week: two bioinformatics postdocs (31 October), a host-microbiota postdoc (2 November), an immunometabolism doctorate (1 December), a direct doctorate on biofilm-degrading enzymes (30 December) and a neuroimmunology postdoc (31 December). The postdoctoral vacancies pay 12,570 reais a month and the immunometabolism doctorate 5,790. You apply by email to the named researcher; the adverts are in Portuguese and state no nationality rule.
Which of this week’s opportunities are closed to international applicants?
Sixteen. The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and the NCI F99/K00 award need United States citizenship or permanent residence. The BRIC-RGCB, BRIC-CDFD, IISER Tirupati and IISER Bhopal posts are for Indian nationals. The ICGEB South African Women in Biotechnology fellowship is for South African women, the SofinaBoel Fellowships need a Belgian university affiliation, and Adelaide’s Graduate Research Talent Scheme needs an Australian or New Zealand qualification. Chile’s ANID doctoral scholarship is open to foreigners.
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 12 October 2026 we re-fetched 300 live records from the funders’ own pages: 31 closed on passed dates and 5 undated records were retired on age. Sixty-three pages could not be fetched and were left unchanged, because a failed fetch says nothing about whether a call is open. No deadline moved this week. Every new entry is read by two readers who never see each other’s work. Always open the official link before you apply.
