The Department of Biology at UAEU’s College of Science advertises competitive PhD studentships for research on the molecular mechanisms of cancer and diabetes, with a focus on drug discovery. The work is based in Al Ain and tied to the PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology.
The current degree page describes full-time, English-medium study lasting six to twelve semesters. The studentship notice directs applicants to email a CV to the named faculty contact and says only highly qualified candidates will be contacted.

- The current program page requires recent English-proficiency evidence, listing IELTS 6.0 and also accepting TOEFL.
- Applicants must apply to and be accepted into the UAEU PhD in Cellular and Molecular Biology.
