Fully Funded PhD in Paediatric Glioma and Zebrafish Imaging at UCL University College London in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in neuroscience , developmental biology , and molecular biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge) / Laboratory of Molecular Biology . The project, supervised by Dr A Cardona , investigates how neuronal activity shapes the development of correctly functioning neural circuits. Using the fruit fly embryo as a model system, the successful student will image samples with eFIB-SEM , reconstruct and proofread connectomes, and compare brain and nerve cord circuitry before and a...

Newcastle University is offering a fully funded PhD position within the MSCA Innovative Training Network Pandora on Decoding Chromosome 1 Risk in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) Using Stem Cell–Derived Retinal Models . The project is based at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom and is hosted in a highly collaborative, international training environment focused on retinal disease mechanisms, translational biology, and advanced stem cell technologies. The doctoral candidate will inve...

Funded PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr Stephen Wilson. This project investigates developmental biology , genetics , zebrafish , eye formation , retinal morphogenesis , extracellular matrix , and mechanobiology . The research asks why congenital defects of eye formation show variable penetrance and severity, and how developmental robustness influences whether defects appear in one or both eyes. The student will use CRISPR-based screening to identify genes that modulate robu...

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...

Exciting postdoctoral opportunity at the Francis Crick Institute in London: a fully funded 4-year Crick PACE Postdoctoral Fellowship focused on the mechanical control of pancreatic cancer stem cells. The project is proposed by Alberto Elosegui-Artola and Axel Behrens, bringing together physical sciences and cancer biology to study how mechanical cues influence pancreatic cancer stem cell behavior. This is a strong fit for researchers interested in biophysics, biomedical research, cancer stem cel...
