Cell Biology University of Leeds in United Kingdom

Fully funded competitive PhD studentship available in the team of Professor Aga Gambus at the University of Birmingham. The project focuses on regulation of p97 unfoldase in the context of DNA replication and ubiquitylation. The research is interdisciplinary and combines biochemistry, structural biology, and cell biology, making it a strong fit for candidates interested in DNA metabolism and protein regulation. The studentship is offered through the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Part...

PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in the Faculty of Life Sciences on the project EASTBIO - Uncovering the non-canonical proteolytic activity of Deubiquitinating enzymes . This discovery-driven PhD sits at the interface of biochemistry , structural biology , cell biology , biophysics , and proteomics . The project focuses on ubiquitin-deconjugating enzymes (DUBs), especially the USP family, and their newly identified non-canonical “cleave-to-modify” activity. The research aims to define...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr Peter Rosenthal on cryomicroscopy of lipid-enveloped virus entry and assembly . The project sits at the intersection of structural biology , virology , cell biology , and biophysics , with a strong emphasis on cryo-EM , cryo-ET , and related imaging/computational methods. The research aims to directly image key steps in infection by lipid-enveloped viruses such as influenza and retroviruses . Topics include virus entry, receptor binding, mem...

Adam Bentham at Durham University is recruiting for a fully funded 4-year Gatsby Sainsbury PhD studentship. The project focuses on designing plant immune receptors from scratch, combining AI protein design, structural biology, and plant immunity. This is a strong fit for students interested in biology, computer science, and protein engineering approaches to plant science. The post is shared by an academic who appears to be the supervisor/host for the opening. The opportunity is based at Durham U...

The University of Manchester is recruiting a full-time, fixed-term postdoctoral Research Associate to join the Kulathu group in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Function, School of Biological Sciences. The project investigates how different ubiquitin signals direct cellular outcomes, with a focus on polyubiquitin chains and cellular quality control. The researcher will develop a nanobody toolkit to recognise distinct polyubiquitin linkages and enable new experiments in ubiquitin biology. T...
