Crick PhD Programme 2027 at The Francis Crick Institute is a fully funded doctoral opportunity for highly driven life-science students interested in cross-disciplinary clinical and fundamental research. The programme highlights research at the intersection of genomics , bioinformatics , and disease research , with access to cutting-edge London laboratory infrastructure and elite clinical and academic supervision. This is a PhD opening rather than a scholarship-only call. The post emphasizes a pr...

PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), London, United Kingdom This funded PhD project, “Mutate, model, predict: uncovering how regulatory elements encode gene expression dynamics,” brings together developmental biology, genomics, human genetics, bioinformatics, statistics, and mathematical modelling. The project asks how non-coding cis-regulatory elements control when, where, and how strongly genes are expressed during development. You will work across three complementa...

PhD opportunity at The James Hutton Institute in Dundee, United Kingdom, on Decoding Dynamic Plant Meristems . The project sits at the interface of plant biology , developmental biology , molecular biology , genomics , bioinformatics , biotechnology , and computational modelling . The research focuses on the shoot apical meristem (SAM) , a dynamic population of pluripotent cells that drives aerial plant development and floral transition. The project asks how carbon availability is linked to meri...

Funded PhD project at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom on reading tissue history and exposures using spatial single-cell genomics . The project is based in the newly established Tissue Biology Group and focuses on building and applying technologies that can read cellular history while preserving spatial context in intact human tissue. Research themes include spatial lineage tracing , single-cell and spatial genomics , DNA methylation , somatic mutations , ex...
