Funded PhD in Translational Control Mechanisms That Pattern Early Embryo Development University of Warwick in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in plant chemical defence, single-cell biology, genomics, and metabolomics at The Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, United Kingdom, working with the Osbourn group at the John Innes Centre . This project asks where plants make their medicine: how different cells in infected leaves activate distinct chemical defence pathways, how those cell states are organised around infection sites, and how this organisation may reveal new biosynthetic pathways. The research combines plant biology...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom, focused on single-cell multi-omics , enhancer biology , and the developmental control of blood and cardiovascular fate . The project investigates how enhancer activity changes as blood, endothelial, and cardiac lineages emerge in the chick embryo. You will combine single-cell RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing to reconstruct gene-regulatory networks, identify candidate enhancers, and study how hematoendothelial progenit...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Biological Sciences on understanding the evolution of calcium signal decoding mechanisms in plants . The project is supervised by Dr Ben Miller and focuses on how plants use calcium signalling to respond to environmental stimuli and stresses, with a particular emphasis on the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha . This research combines molecular genetics , cell biology , and biochemistry to dissect calcium signalling and decoding mech...

PhD opportunity at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), Barcelona, Spain in the CRG International PhD Programme 2027 . The Novoa lab (Dr Eva Maria Novoa) studies RNA dynamics with a strong focus on RNA modifications and the epitranscriptome . This project uses a combination of wet and dry methods , including nanopore sequencing , to investigate how molecular information is carried in sperm and how environmental exposures may be transmitted to the next generation. This PhD is aimed at a highl...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Biological Sciences on Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance of Responses to Environmental Stress . This project investigates how environmental stress responses may be transmitted across generations through non-genetic / epigenetic inheritance . Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system, the research will examine whether key cellular stress responses can be inherited, whether this improves survival and fitness under stress...
