Training opportunities and upcoming events Engineering Biology in Farmed Animals — Webinar Series Launching in October 2026, the Engineering Biology in Farmed Animals webinar series will explore emerging research, technologies, tools and resources supporting the application of engineering biology in farmed animals.Featuring speakers from academia and industry, the series will run in 2026–2027, highlighting new capabilities and approaches to advance farmed animal health, welfare and sustainable production, while sharing knowledge and building connections across the engineering biology community.Find out more Visiting Researcher Programme The Engineering Biology Hub will host a Visiting Researcher Programme from 2026 to 2028, welcoming up to three visiting scientists or PhD students each year. Designed to support and train the next generation of researchers, the programme provides access to core facilities, office and laboratory space, bioresources, and active mentoring.National and international visitors will have the opportunity to conduct Engineering Biology projects under the guidance of the Hub’s expert scientists.Please note that visitors are expected to arrange for their own accommodation and cover the costs of their living/travel expenses while visiting.Who can apply?Early career scientists, including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.Find out more and how to apply Events Upcoming events focused on engineering biology in livestock species, including conferences, symposia and workshops.Find out more PhD Opportunities The Engineering Biology Hub does not provide dedicated funding for PhD students. Typically, PhD positions are advertised in November or December of the year before the start date. All available PhD opportunities are listed on FindAPhD.You can also explore opportunities in Engineering Biology at Roslin through:EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership - East of Scotland's leading biocience graduate training programme This article was published on Tuesday 21 October 2025
