Aneuploiody in the human embryo Medical Research Council (Cambridge) in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom, focused on single-cell multi-omics , enhancer biology , and the developmental control of blood and cardiovascular fate . The project investigates how enhancer activity changes as blood, endothelial, and cardiac lineages emerge in the chick embryo. You will combine single-cell RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing to reconstruct gene-regulatory networks, identify candidate enhancers, and study how hematoendothelial progenit...

PhD opportunity at the Babraham Institute (Cambridge, United Kingdom) in histone biology, cell biology, developmental biology, ageing, genomics, proteomics, and bioinformatics . This project, supervised by Dr Maria Christophorou , explores the biology of histones outside the nucleus and how extracellular histones may act in cell communication during tissue development, homeostasis, and ageing . The lab focuses on histone citrullination , a key post-translational modification linked to histone ex...

PhD opportunity: Epithelial Cell Fate and Plasticity at the University of Cambridge , hosted by the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute and led by Dr Maria P. Alcolea . This project sits at the intersection of cell biology , developmental biology , and cancer biology . The Alcolea Group studies how epithelial progenitor cells behave in the mouse oesophagus and how squamous epithelial cell fate changes during homeostasis, injury, and preneoplastic mutation. The research aims to understand mutant clonal...

The Cañestro Lab at the University of Barcelona is hiring for a newly granted 2026–2030 project in evolutionary developmental biology (EvoDevo) and genomics. The project offers a 4-year PhD contract. Postdoctoral researchers are also welcome to express interest. Research themes associated with the lab include gene loss, chordate and tunicate biology, Oikopleura, heart development, and ocean health. Applicants should review the project and joining information on the lab website for details about ...

PhD opportunity: Decoding Dynamic Plant Meristems at the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, with supervision from Dr Vanessa Wahl and Prof Henrik Jönsson. This project focuses on plant biology , developmental biology , plant cell biology , genomics , molecular biology , bioinformatics , and biotechnology . The research asks how the shoot apical meristem (SAM) changes during the floral transition, especially how carbon availability, hormones, meristem maintenance networks, and gene regulation are inte...
