About this position

This fully funded PhD studentship is based at the CRUK Scotland Centre and the University of Glasgow, with research focused on colorectal cancer biology, tumour-cell plasticity and metastasis.

The project, titled “Restraining colorectal cancer cell plasticity by driving tumour cells towards a stable, terminally differentiated state,” builds on the research team’s findings that loss of ATRX drives multilineage plasticity and metastatic behaviour. The doctoral researcher will investigate how cancer cells change state, how these changes contribute to disease progression, and whether tumour cells can be directed toward a more stable, terminally differentiated state.

The studentship is supervised by Dr Patrizia Cammareri and Dr Kevin Myant. It offers a research environment centred on cancer research and life sciences, with additional professional development opportunities supported by the Windsor Fellowship and Black in Cancer.

Funding details

Fully funded for four years, including an annual tax-free stipend of £22,894 with 1.75% indexation in Years 2–4, home-rate tuition fees, and a consumables budget.
