Mathematics and Machine Learning of Brain Ageing University of Birmingham in United Kingdom

PhD studentship opportunity at the University of Exeter through the SWBio DTP Hub Doctoral Training Partnership. The project is led by Wendy Noble, with co-supervision from Robert Williams (University of Bath), Rosie Bamford, and Clémence Bernard. It will investigate the expression and function of novel tau isoforms in the healthy and diseased brain, and their potential contribution to dementia. This is a strong opportunity for candidates interested in neuroscience, dementia research, neurodegen...

PhD opportunity: Lysosomal TMEM106B in brain ageing and disease at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge, United Kingdom. This project with Dr Diana Arseni explores how the lysosomal protein TMEM106B forms amyloids in the brain in an age-dependent manner and how TMEM106B genetic variants may influence healthy ageing and disease risk in frontotemporal lobar degeneration and Alzheimer’s disease . The research is centered on lysosomal biology , brain a...

Funded PhD project in sleep circuitry and neuroscience at the University of Warwick. This project explores why we sleep and how sleep supports brain health, with a particular interest in mechanisms that may protect against dementia. The work sits at the intersection of neuroscience, physiology, and biological sciences. The project will use advanced systems neuroscience approaches, including in vivo and in vitro electrophysiology and fluorescent imaging . It is designed for a curious student who ...

PhD opportunity in healthy ageing and health inequalities at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) This post advertises a fully funded PhD through the Barts Charity Doctoral Training Programme at QMUL. The project asks how to measure healthy ageing in a way that has real-world impact and helps reduce health inequalities , with a focus on East London. The example motivating the project highlights differences in healthy life expectancy between Tower Hamlets and Richmond. The project title shown i...

Research Associate in Structural Cell Biology at The Rosalind Franklin Institute (Harwell, United Kingdom). This is a postdoctoral opening focused on structural cell biology , cryo-electron tomography , in-situ structural biology , and computational reconstruction of macromolecular structures from human tissue data. The Grange group is developing tools to image the 3-dimensional organisation of macromolecular complexes within brain tissues, using fast vitrification of surgical biopsies, cryo-foc...
