A PhD opportunity is available at The University of Manchester focusing on circadian regulation of the DNA damage response in human skin, in collaboration with Boots. The project is co-supervised by Prof Qing-Jun Meng and Dr Mark Farrar, and is part of the BBSRC North West Doctoral Programme. The research will explore how circadian rhythms influence DNA repair mechanisms in skin, with potential applications in dermatology and photobiology. Applicants should have a strong background in biology or biomedical sciences and an interest in circadian biology or DNA repair. Funding is provided through the BBSRC North West Doctoral Programme. Interested candidates should consult the programme website for application details and are encouraged to contact the supervisors for further information.
