About this position

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia (Norwich Medical School) in blood stem cell biology, clonal haematopoiesis, ageing, immunology, genetics, cell biology, bioinformatics, and metabolism.

This project, A Hostile Niche: How Mutant Blood Stem Cells Damage Their Healthy Neighbours, is supervised by Dr Jayna Mistry and based in the Mistry and Rushworth Lab at Norwich Medical School, UEA, with collaborators across the Norwich Research Park and the Earlham Institute. The research asks how mutant blood stem cells reshape the bone marrow niche, affect healthy stem cells, and potentially accelerate ageing of normal blood cells.

The successful PhD candidate will gain hands-on experience with flow cytometry, tissue culture, in-vivo modelling, RNA-sequencing, gene expression profiling, and metabolic assays. The project is described as highly interdisciplinary and collaborative, with regular lab meetings, journal clubs, and opportunities to present at local, national, and international meetings.

This is a fully funded PhD studentship through the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP) for October 2027 entry. Funding covers tuition fees and includes a living stipend plus a research training support grant. The programme also includes a three-month professional internship placement (PIPS) during the PhD.

Ideal applicants will have a background in molecular biology, cell biology, immunology, genetics, or a related bioscience field, and an interest in stem cell biology or ageing. Applicants must follow the NRPDTP application guidance and use the bespoke personal and research statement templates provided on the programme website.

Application/interview timeline: shortlisted applicants will be interviewed on 2–4 February 2027. For eligibility and application details, visit the NRPDTP website.
