Funded PhD in PINK1 mitochondrial quality control and Parkinson’s disease University of Bristol in United Kingdom

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol in the School of Biochemistry and Biomedical Sciences on GPCR signalling, proteostasis, receptor trafficking, and neuropsychiatric genetics . The project, supervised by Dr Adam Grieve and Prof I Collinson , investigates how disease-associated variants in G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) alter receptor folding, intracellular trafficking, turnover, and signalling in neuronal systems. It combines molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, funct...

Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in the lab of Professor Heike Laman . The project investigates how ubiquitin regulates secretory trafficking in dopaminergic neurons , with a focus on how the E3 ubiquitin ligase subunit FBXO7 controls protein movement through the secretory pathway. The research uses human stem cell-derived neurons as a model system and combines live-cell imaging , RUSH assays , proteomics , and functional experiments....

Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City is recruiting a Postdoctoral Associate in Biochemistry & Biophysics in the Lange Lab . The project focuses on how ubiquitin signaling is interpreted to regulate intracellular transport and how disruption of these pathways contributes to neurodegeneration and other diseases. The lab is multidisciplinary and uses biochemical , structural biology , biophysical , and proteomics approaches. Relevant research areas include protein expression and purification, bi...

PhD positions are open at the Cologne Graduate School for Ageing Research (CGA) for the 2027 intake. The programme focuses on ageing research and age-related diseases, with projects spanning cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biophysics, bioinformatics, bioengineering, pharmacology, neuroscience, medical biology, translational medicine, and related areas. The school describes a highly selective, internationally oriented research environment with excellent supervision, early opportuni...

PhD opportunity in Structure-Function Analysis of Stress Signaling at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, with supervision by Dr A Bertolotti. The lab studies stress signaling and the integrated stress response (ISR), with a strong focus on how cells protect themselves from misfolded proteins and how these pathways may be harnessed to improve resilience in disease. The project is especially relevant to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease,...
