Fully Funded PhD in Plant Biology, Engineering Biology, 3D Imaging and Single-Cell Genomics University of York in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in engineering biology, plant science, and gene regulatory networks at the Earlham Institute (Norwich, United Kingdom). This project in the Guiziou Group focuses on decoding the gene regulatory networks that control lateral root initiation in Arabidopsis . The research combines engineering biology , single-cell RNA sequencing , fluorescence microscopy, FACS, and DNA-based recorders based on serine integrase to reconstruct the order of gene expression during lateral root founder c...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in preclinical human neural organoid and computational/AI model development . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , neural organoids , single-cell transcriptomics , spatial transcriptomics , and computational AI . The aim is to combine patient-specific iPSC-derived human neural organoids with postmortem CNS samples to build large-scale AI frameworks that can identify disease-associated cellular states, molecular biomarkers, and pot...

PhD opportunity at the John Innes Centre in plant temperature signalling via modulation of small-RNA signalling (PENFIELD_J27DTP), based in Norwich, United Kingdom . This project sits within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP) and is aimed at students interested in how plants sense and adapt to changing temperatures. The research combines plant biology , genetics , molecular biology , genomics , chromatin biology , and single-cell analysis to investigate ho...

PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham , UK in Plant Immunity and Epigenetics . This project explores whether plants can remember stress and develop long-lasting disease resistance, using tomato plants as a model system. Research themes include plant molecular biology , epigenetics , small RNA signalling , plant-pathogen interactions , and functional genomics . The post is aimed at applicants interested in plant biology and related life science research areas. Funding information shared...
