PhD opportunity in Oxford on RNA dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease, offered through the UK Human Functional Genomics Initiative FGx-DLA programme. The project, titled “One gene, many transcripts: decoding RNA dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease using single-cell ‘omics, CRISPR, and stem cell models” , combines single-cell genomics, bioinformatics, CRISPR-based experiments, and stem cell models to investigate how genetic variation shapes RNA regulation in disease-relevant cell types and how these...

PhD opportunity in computational neuroscience and human neurodevelopment at Forschungszentrum Jülich (INM-7) The Multiscale Neurodevelopment team in the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine – Brain and Behaviour (INM-7) is recruiting a PhD student fellow to work on multi-modal models of human brain development, function, and cognition . The project combines in vivo MRI , EEG , post mortem brain samples, and computational modelling to study the maturation of cortical architecture, connectivity,...

Stanford University is advertising an open postdoctoral position in the labs of Juliet Knowles and Frank Longo at Stanford Medicine, within the Departments of Neurology and Neurological Sciences and the Neuroscience Institute. The project focuses on multi-omics integration to derive biomarkers for neurodegenerative disease , with emphasis on BPAN (beta-propeller protein associated neurodegeneration), Parkinson’s disease , and Alzheimer’s disease . The work uses single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snR...

PhD and Master's student positions are available at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig, Germany, in the AIBA research group led by Iana Fedorova. The group works on bacteria-phage interactions in clinically relevant bacterial pathogens, with a strong focus on bacterial immunity, phage counter-defense, and engineering bacteriophages to kill bacterial hosts more effectively. This is a good fit for students interested in microbiology, phage therapy, and translational ...

Pavel Levkin, Professor at the Institute of Biological and Chemical Systems (IBCS-FMS), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), is sharing a new tool called FindMyLab for PhD lab discovery and application management. The platform is designed to help PIs and research labs collect PhD applications in a standardized format, making it easier to analyze and assess candidates. It also helps students search across labs and research fields to find a better fit for their interests and background. This i...
