A fully-funded PhD studentship is available in the group of Professor David Bechtold at the University of Manchester, in collaboration with Gina Galli and David Gatfield (University of Lausanne). The project focuses on understanding how selective ribosome function and translational control influence both cellular and whole body energy metabolism, and how disruptions in these processes can lead to poor metabolic health. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with leading researchers in the field and undertake research placements in Switzerland with the Gatfield group. The position is based in Manchester and offers a dynamic, collaborative research environment. Applicants should have a strong background in biological sciences, molecular biology, or biochemistry, and laboratory experience is desirable. The studentship is fully funded, covering tuition and providing a stipend. Interested candidates are encouraged to get in touch with the group for more information and to discuss the application process.

A fully funded PhD opportunity is available in Professor David Bechtold's group at The University of Manchester. The project investigates how the internal body clock (circadian rhythms) influences heart function throughout the day and night, with a particular focus on susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmias at different times. The research offers excellent training and exposure to a variety of techniques in chronobiology and cardiac physiology. The group provides a supportive environment for developing research skills. Applicants should have a background in biological sciences or physiology and an interest in chronobiology and cardiac research. Funding covers tuition and stipend, though the exact amount is not specified. The application deadline is November 15, 2024. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Professor Bechtold for further details and application instructions.
