About this position

The University of Bradford, through the Yorkshire Bioscience Doctoral Training Programme (YBDTP), is offering a PhD project titled 'Deciphering kinase selectivity and regulation to develop a toolkit for studying the ‘dark’ kinome.' Supervised by Dr Vibhu Jha, this project aims to illuminate the uncharacterised 'dark kinome'—a group of over 100 protein kinases—by integrating AI-driven prediction with advanced chemical biology techniques. The research will focus on understanding kinase function and developing molecular tools for the broader research community.

Multiple other bioscience PhD projects are also available at the University of Bradford, each led by expert supervisors in fields such as microplastics, neurodegenerative disease, and drug delivery. Applicants are encouraged to review the full list of projects and supervisors via the provided link. While specific funding details are not mentioned, the YBDTP typically offers competitive studentships.

Applicants should have a strong background in biology, chemistry, or related disciplines, and an interest in interdisciplinary research. The application process and further details are available on the YBDTP website.
