Fully-Funded PhD in Ribosome Function, Translational Control, and Energy Metabolism University of Manchester in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity: Visualizing cellular proteostasis at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, with supervision by Dr Juliette Fedry. This project focuses on proteostasis —how cells synthesize, fold, localize, and degrade proteins to maintain protein homeostasis. The lab studies how the proteostasis network is organized across cell types, how it changes under different physiological conditions, and how it becomes dysregulated during stress and disease. Research ...

PhD opportunity at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, with Dr Ivana Bukvin in the area of protein folding, ribosome biology, structural biology, biochemistry, and single-molecule fluorescence. This project focuses on how proteins fold on the ribosome in real time. The successful student will study co-translational folding as a nascent polypeptide emerges from the ribosome exit tunnel, using single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer (smFRET) to capt...

University of Bath is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in an interdisciplinary project focused on mammalian cell biology , molecular biology , chemical biology , and peptide screening . The work will develop innovative intracellular peptide screening technologies to investigate and modulate transcription factor function in living mammalian cells. The post is hosted in Professor Jody Mason's research group at the University of Bath and is funded through a new BBSRC Pioneer Award . The...

PhD opportunity in pathological protein assembly in neurodegenerative diseases at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom . The project is centered on the molecular pathology of neurodegeneration, with a focus on amyloid filament formation by disease-associated proteins such as TDP-43 , annexin A11 , and TAF15 . Two PhD project directions are described. One aims to reproduce pathological protein filament structures in vitro using protein biochemist...

PhD project at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology with Dr F Randow on non-protein ubiquitylation in infection and physiology . This project explores how ubiquitylation extends beyond proteins to non-protein substrates such as LPS on invading bacteria and poorly branched glycogen . The research connects bacteriology , immunology , molecular biology , and selective autophagy , with implications for host defense, biomolecular quality control, and disease-relev...
