Life Science PhD, Fellowship and Scholarship Deadlines: 132 Close by 9 November 2026
132 verified life science funding deadlines close by 9 November 2026, and 100 of them close by 2 November. Five close today, 26 October. Among the largest this week are the PhRMA Foundation’s six fellowships on 30 October and SNSF Ambizione on 3 November. This issue carries 177 records, 64 first listed since 19 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 19 October roundup.
The issue holds 177 records: 64 first listed since 19 October and the rest closing within a fortnight. This is the busiest fortnight of the autumn. One hundred records close by 2 November, because the late-October fellowships, the 1 November Nordic and Swiss PhD calls and the first British rounds for 2027 entry all land in the same eight days. After 9 November the calendar thins out, and most of what remains is individual PhD and postdoc adverts with their own dates.

These are this week’s openings. The full list of every verified opportunity, with filters, is at stemskillslab.com/opportunities.
What closes first?
Five records close today, 26 October. The SofinaBoel Fellowships fund a research or training stay abroad for PhD students with a paid affiliation at a Belgian university. In India, BRIC-RGCB Thiruvananthapuram closes a Project Associate-I post on circular RNA translation for Indian nationals, and BRIC-THSTI Faridabad closes a Project Technical Support-III post on fibrosis and circular RNA.
On 27 October the HHMI Gilliam Fellows Program closes, and you apply as a pair with your PhD advisor. The Royal Irish Academy’s Charlemont Grants close the same day. On 28 October the IRB Barcelona extraordinary PhD call closes, along with three FAPESP postdocs, including one on AmazonFACE soil microbiology. On 29 October the Royal Society’s Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship and the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans close.
What closes between 30 October and 2 November?
30 October is the single biggest day. The PhRMA Foundation closes six fellowships at once: predoctoral and postdoctoral awards in drug delivery, drug discovery and translational medicine. Good entry points are the Drug Discovery Predoctoral Fellowship and the Drug Discovery Postdoctoral Fellowship. The work must happen at an accredited US university, but citizenship is not required. The same day the VIB-KU Leuven neuroscience PhD call, the Finnish Cultural Foundation working grants, RCB Faridabad’s research training programme for the January 2027 session and six FAPESP vacancies close, among them a doctorate on plastic-degrading enzymes.
On 31 October the British Pharmacological Society AJ Clark Studentship closes, and it is one of the few awards where the student writes the application. The IMPRS for Translational Psychiatry, the IBRO Neuroscience Training Grants, two Japanese scholarships for foreign students (Honjo and Rotary Yoneyama) and the Slovak National Scholarship Programme for the summer semester close too.
On 1 November the Life Science Zurich Graduate School, the AITHYRA PhD Program in AI for Biomedicine, the Aarhus Graduate School of Natural Sciences call, the NASA Postdoctoral Program and the University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship all close. On 2 November it is Imperial’s President’s PhD Scholarships, the NRC Research Associateship Programs, the Churchill Scholarship and the Leipzig IMPRS on Cognitive NeuroImaging.
Which major awards close in the week of 3 November?
The week of 3 November is lighter but carries some of the biggest names. On 3 November the SNSF Ambizione closes its final call. It is a grant of up to four years for an early-career researcher to lead their own project at a Swiss institution, and you must apply within four years of your doctorate. The Crick’s 2027 PhD programme and its Future Leaders in Biomedical Sciences Scholarships close the same day, as does the Cologne Graduate School of Ageing Research.
On 5 November the Giannini Postdoctoral Research Fellowship closes. It pays 70,000 dollars a year for three years, for United States citizens and permanent residents at a California medical school. On 6 November the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute studentships, the NOMIS Foundation ETH Postdoctoral Fellowship (up to one new fellow, and an invitation letter from an ETH host is required) and the Schlumberger Foundation’s Faculty for the Future Fellowships close. Faculty for the Future is for women from developing countries preparing a PhD or postdoc abroad. On 9 November the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre neuroscience PhD closes.
What is new this week?
Clinicians get two new routes from the Crick. The Doctoral Clinical Fellows programme (4 November) funds a three-year PhD with a salary matched to your clinical grade. The AI/ML Clinical Fellows programme (11 November) adds an MSc in AI or machine learning first, and needs UK home fee status.
For postdocs, the new record with the most money attached is the Max Planck-Weizmann Postdoctoral Programme (21 December). It is a four-year post split between a Max Planck Institute and the Weizmann Institute, at German TVoD grade 13, and you must agree a joint project with both hosts before you apply. Uppsala added a postdoc in AAV gene therapy (16 November), and Copenhagen an interdisciplinary postdoc in host-directed antimicrobials (24 November).
For PhD applicants, the RAREFIND doctoral programme on rare diseases opens its second and final call (31 December), with a gross base salary of 32,840 euros a year and the MSCA rule that you cannot have spent more than 12 months in Italy in the last three years. The SWBio doctoral training partnership (2 December) can award up to 30 percent of its studentships to international applicants. The Ploen IMPRS for Evolutionary Biology has six doctoral posts (10 January 2027), and Hannover’s HBRS Molecular Medicine programme now prints its 1 March 2027 date. Institut Pasteur added a PhD in gene therapy for hearing disorders (14 December) and, for women in a Master 2 year, the Fondation SUEZ internship scholarships (4 December).
Undergraduates should look at the Weizmann Institute’s Kupcinet-Getz International Summer Program (20 January 2027), which pays a 1,100 dollar stipend, up to 400 dollars towards flights and free accommodation for international students, and asks no fees.
Are there posts for computational biology and drug design graduates this week?
Yes, and this is a strong week for anyone who works on molecular structure. In Athens, the BSRC Alexander Fleming institute is recruiting PhD candidates in computational structural biology and molecular dynamics of membrane proteins (20 November), funded by an EU ERA Chair grant. Copenhagen’s Department of Drug Design and Pharmacology has a PhD in protein dynamics (1 November) at about 31,800 Danish kroner a month, and the university’s public health department a PhD in computational RNA structure analysis (4 November) that asks for strong Python and Linux skills. Copenhagen Biotech also has a PhD on antibody-drug conjugate engineering (6 November).
On the chemistry side, Uppsala added a postdoc on NOESY ensemble analysis of macrocycles and PROTACs (16 November), Leiden a medicinal chemistry and chemical biology postdoc (11 November), and Linkoping a PhD on the pharmacology of proton-activated chloride channels (11 November). Closer in, Uppsala’s computational chemistry postdoc and Linkoping’s PhD on AI foundation models close 30 October. Amsterdam’s PhD in explainable machine learning for single-cell biology and FAPESP’s Cell Painting image analysis postdoc close 31 October. Later, Helsinki has a research fellow in AI for population health and genomics (16 November) and FAPESP a technical training fellowship on an omics data platform (15 November).
Which Indian institute posts are open?
Only six Indian records are in this issue, and all close by 1 November. Besides today’s two posts, the Bose Institute in Kolkata closes a Project Research Scientist-I and Project Technical Support-III on 28 October. RCB Faridabad has a Project JRF on diet solutions for phenylketonuria and a Research Associate-I on algae and fungi for space nutrition, both applied for online by 1 November. We checked BIRAC, ICMR, ICGEB, inStem, NCBS and ANRF this week and found nothing new that a student or postdoc can apply for without a fee.
Which of these are closed to international applicants?
Eighteen records in this issue are restricted by nationality, residence or fee status. The Churchill Scholarship, the BAEF Fellowships for Americans, the DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research programme and the Giannini fellowship need United States citizenship or permanent residence. The American Philosophical Society’s Lewis and Clark Fund also takes foreign nationals, but only those formally affiliated with a US institution. The University of California President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship needs unrestricted permission to work in the United States, and the Soros fellowship is for immigrants and their children. The SofinaBoel, Charlemont, Finnish Cultural Foundation and NZ Biosecurity Institute awards each need a tie to their own country. The BHF CHAIN programme and the Crick AI/ML Clinical Fellows programme take UK home fee status only. The three VLIRUOS master’s scholarships are limited to nationals and residents of 25 listed countries, and India is not one of them. The TWAS-SISSA-Lincei visits are for nationals of the least developed countries who hold a research post there, and the BRIC-RGCB post is for Indian nationals. If you are applying from India, the Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship, the PhRMA fellowships, SNSF Ambizione, RAREFIND and most of the European PhD calls above are open to you.
What was left out this week, and why?
RCB Faridabad’s 2026-27 PhD admissions were left out again for their Rs. 500 application fee, and the Basel IOB and FMI PhD programmes for a 100 Swiss franc fee. We list nothing that costs money to apply for. An EMBL postdoc in three-photon microscopy still prints its closing date as 09/11/2026, which can be read as 9 November or 11 September, so it stays out. An ETH Zurich PhD listed 22 November only as a preferred date with later applications considered, a VU Amsterdam PhD gave a closing date and also said it was rolling until filled, and an EMBL fellowship page gave two different years for the same deadline: none of these give a date you could plan around. NIH F-series fellowships, NCBS and the ICGEB fellowship pages could not be read at all this week, and every Australian and New Zealand university scholarship page we tried was behind a bot check.
How is this list verified?
On 26 October we re-fetched 422 records from the funding organisations’ own pages. Thirty-six were closed because their dates had passed and five undated records were retired on age. Sixty-seven 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 four still-open records the page had changed enough that the checker could not find the stored date on its own, and we confirmed each one by hand: RCB’s training programme on 30 October, ANID Chile’s national doctoral scholarship on 27 November, the Max Planck School of Biomedical AI on 1 December and the Hanns Seidel Foundation on 15 January 2027.
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 100 deadlines inside eight days, pick the two or three that fit you best and finish those, rather than starting ten. For the Crick, SWBio and other British programmes, contact the supervisor of the project you want before you apply. For the Max Planck-Weizmann and NOMIS fellowships, the host agreement comes first and takes weeks, so start those emails 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.

The University of Copenhagen has a PhD in protein dynamics (1 November) and one in computational RNA structure analysis (4 November). Each record page links to the official advert.
What is new for clinicians who want to do a PhD?
The Francis Crick Institute added two programmes this week. The Doctoral Clinical Fellows programme closes 4 November 2026 and funds a three-year PhD with a salary matched to your clinical grade. The AI/ML Clinical Fellows programme closes 11 November, adds an MSc in AI or machine learning first, and needs UK home fee status.
Which of this week’s opportunities are closed to international applicants?
Eighteen. The Churchill Scholarship, the BAEF Fellowships for Americans, the DOE SCGSR programme and the Giannini fellowship need United States citizenship or permanent residence. The BHF CHAIN programme and the Crick AI/ML Clinical Fellows programme need UK home fee status. The three VLIRUOS master’s scholarships are limited to 25 listed countries, and India is not one of them.
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 26 October 2026 we re-fetched 422 records from the funders’ own pages: 36 closed on passed dates and 5 undated records were retired on age. Sixty-seven pages could not be fetched and were left unchanged, because a failed fetch says nothing about whether a call is open. No deadline moved. Always open the official link before you apply.
