PhD in Cell Size, Cell Fate Specification, and Developmental Neurobiology University of Dundee in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity: Synthetic cells to study biophysical mechanisms in zebrafish development at the University of Warwick (Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership). This funded PhD project sits at the interface of biochemistry , biophysics , cell biology , developmental biology , neuroscience , and engineering . The project aims to design and build synthetic cell-mimicking systems with tunable mechanical and adhesive properties to probe how mechanical forces regulate tissue morphogene...

University of Sussex is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in Molecular Cell Biology within the laboratory of Professor Claudio Alonso in Brighton, UK. The project focuses on the mechanisms underlying neural development and function in Drosophila , with research spanning molecular biology, transcriptomics, neurogenetics, optogenetics, optical neuronal imaging, neurophysiology, microscopy , and quantitative behavioural approaches. The role sits in the School of Life Sciences and ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge / Cambridge Stem Cell Institute in neuroscience , stem cells , developmental biology , and cell biology . The project, “Neurotransmitter signalling to central nervous system progenitor cells,” is led by Professor Ragnhildur Thóra Káradóttir (Káradóttir Group). The research focuses on how oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) sense neuronal activity and neurotransmitter signals, decide whether to differentiate into myelin-producing oligodendrocytes ...

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....

PhD opportunity at the University of Dundee in the Faculty of Life Sciences on SRPK signalling and Alzheimer’s disease . The project, supervised by Dr Greg Findlay and Dr Rosie Jackson , focuses on the neurological functions of the Ser-Arg Protein Kinase (SRPK) family and how dysregulated SRPK signalling contributes to Alzheimer’s disease. The research will map neuronal SRPK substrates and downstream signalling pathways using phosphoproteomic profiling , mass spectrometry , hiPSC-derived neurons...
