Join us

If you’re interested in our research and would like to join the Molecular Evolution Lab, drop me a message and I’ll guide you through the available options both for your PhD and postdoctoral studies. It will likely involve applying for an available form of funding that you might be eligible for, so the sooner you can reach out, the better! If you’re interested in any of the possibilities below, the first stage is to contact me (t.cardona@qmul.ac.uk). Thank you!

Opportunity #1

There’s currently a PhD position available in my lab, starting September 2025, through the Chinese Scholarship Council on producing and evolving photosystem I complex fused with reductive enzymes. Find the details on how to apply here: Directed Evolution of Photosystem I enzyme chimeras for light-driven biocatalysis. Deadline 29 January 2025.

Opportunity #2

There are also a series of doctoral scholarships for students from underepresented backgrounds in academia. Find out more here: Science and Engineering Underrepresented Group Doctoral Research Studentships. The first step is to get in touch with me! Deadline 29 January 2025.

Opportunity #3

There are also several opportunitites through the new doctoral training programme called TREES DLA: Training, Research & Equity in Environmental Sciences. There are two different routes, one with pre-defined projects, another one where you propose the project.
