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

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in preclinical human neural organoid and computational/AI model development . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , neural organoids , single-cell transcriptomics , spatial transcriptomics , and computational AI . The aim is to combine patient-specific iPSC-derived human neural organoids with postmortem CNS samples to build large-scale AI frameworks that can identify disease-associated cellular states, molecular biomarkers, and pot...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on Mitochondrial Genetic Determinants of Multiple Sclerosis . This project investigates how mitochondrial genetic variants influence the outcome of multiple sclerosis (MS) . The research builds on prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that have identified more than 200 autosomal variants associated with MS, while extending the analysis to the mitochondrial genome. Using a dedicated mitochondrial var...

[4-year Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership PhD studentship including tuition fees paid directly to the University, a stipend for living expenses (£21,805 for 2026/27), and a Research Training Support Grant of £5,000 per year.] This PhD studentship explores how enhancers control the emergence of blood, vascular, and cardiac cell fates during vertebrate development. Using the chick embryo as a model, the project focuses on how gene-regulatory programmes shape the trans...

Georgetown University is advertising a Postdoctoral Associate position in the School of Medicine / Medical Center , within Dr. Jiang’s Cognitive Neuroimaging Laboratory . The lab uses neuroimaging to study cognitive function and cognitive impairments, with a strong focus on developing MRI methods for early detection and assessment of neural injury in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders . The successful candidate will help lead ongoin...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham within the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP) , a BBSRC-funded doctoral training partnership. The project is titled “A multi-omics approach to characterise brain-specific biological ageing” and is supervised by Archana Sharma-Oates in collaboration with Vinton Cheng . The research focuses on how the brain ages differently from the rest of the body, using multi-omics data integration , genomic data analysis , ...
