PhD in Cell-Type Specific RNA Processing Defects in Neurodegeneration University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

Applications are open for the EMBL-EBI-Sanger Postdoctoral (ESPOD) programme, a collaborative postdoctoral opportunity between the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) and the Wellcome Sanger Institute. The programme is designed for researchers interested in bioinformatics, computational biology, biology, data science, and related areas. ESPOD projects combine wet-lab and dry-lab experience, and applicants can choose from a list of available projects or propose their own project, provide...

Genentech’s Bhangale Lab is recruiting a postdoc in human genetics to study the genetic basis of neurodegenerative diseases , including Parkinson’s disease and ALS . The project sits at the intersection of human genetics , machine learning , and computational biology , making it a strong fit for candidates who want to work on data-driven discovery in disease biology. The post was shared by Andrew Vaughn , Principal Scientist in Human Genetics at Genentech. The opportunity appears to be based in ...

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University on convergent striatal neuron mechanisms across neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders , including schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay and bipolar disorder. The project asks whether diverse genetic risk factors converge on the same brain cell type, the medium spiny neurons (MSNs) of the striatum. The work combines psychiatric genetics , single-cell genomics , gene-set enrichment, cohort-based phenotype analysis, and experimenta...
