Funded DPhil/PhD opportunities are available in Therapeutic Genomics through the MRC Centre of Research Excellence in Therapeutic Genomics (MRC CoRE-TG), with projects at the University of Oxford and Newcastle University . Projects combine experimental and translational research and may involve molecular and cellular biology , genomic technologies , disease models , CRISPR , antisense oligonucleotides , computational analysis, and therapeutic development aimed at advancing genome-targeted therap...

Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in the lab of Professor Heike Laman . The project investigates how ubiquitin regulates secretory trafficking in dopaminergic neurons , with a focus on how the E3 ubiquitin ligase subunit FBXO7 controls protein movement through the secretory pathway. The research uses human stem cell-derived neurons as a model system and combines live-cell imaging , RUSH assays , proteomics , and functional experiments....

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham in cardiovascular/biomedical research. The project is titled “Decoding IL-17-mediated immune-cardiac signalling and electrical remodelling during cardiorenal stress” and is advertised by Professor Davor Pavlovic together with Asif Iqbal . This PhD is a strong fit for students interested in cardiac pathophysiology , immune-cardiac signalling , electrical remodelling , cardiorenal stress , and IL-17 -related mechanisms. The post explicit...

Queen Mary University of London is advertising an informal expression of interest for a postdoctoral position in ion channel electrophysiology at the Blizard Institute. The project is centered on the structure, function, and regulation of neuronal voltage-gated calcium channels . The successful candidate will work in Ivan Kadurin’s lab and will contribute to research on mechanisms of pathological pain , with collaborations involving the groups of Rajesh Khanna and Alex Clark . These collaboratio...

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol in the School of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences on GPCR signalling, proteostasis, receptor trafficking, and neuropsychiatric genetics . The project, supervised by Dr Adam Grieve and Prof I Collinson , investigates how disease-associated variants in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) alter receptor folding, intracellular trafficking, turnover, and signalling in neuronal systems. It combines molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, funct...
