About this position
An exciting PhD opportunity is available through the BBSRC North West Doctoral Programme at The University of Manchester. The project, led by Prof Qing-Jun Meng and co-supervised by Dr Mark Farrar, focuses on the circadian regulation of the DNA damage response in human skin. This research sits at the intersection of photobiology, dermatology, and molecular biology, aiming to uncover how biological rhythms influence the skin's ability to repair DNA damage. The project is ideal for students interested in biological rhythms, DNA repair mechanisms, and skin biology.
The BBSRC North West Doctoral Programme is a prestigious doctoral training partnership that offers advanced training and research opportunities in biosciences. The University of Manchester provides a vibrant research environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities and a supportive academic community. Applicants should have a strong background in biological or biomedical sciences and a keen interest in circadian biology or dermatology. While the post does not specify funding details, such programmes typically offer fully funded studentships, including a stipend and tuition coverage. Prospective students are encouraged to check the programme website for up-to-date information on funding and eligibility.
