PhD in Connectomics Across Sexes, Species and States Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in United Kingdom

Fully-funded PhD studentship at the University of Cambridge / Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute in single-cell spatial multi-omics for cancer biology . The project is supervised by Dr Guiping Wang in the Wang Group , which develops interdisciplinary technologies bridging high-resolution spatial biology, genome-wide discovery, multi-omic sequencing, and quantitative imaging. The lab’s research focus includes extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) , oncogene amplification, intratumour heterogeneity, an...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in Cambridge, UK at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute in the Wang Group . This project focuses on extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA) , a key driver of oncogene amplification and drug resistance in aggressive solid cancers. The research will develop single-cell and spatial multi-omic tools, combining MERFISH-style imaging with sequencing approaches. The work is strongly interdisciplinary and spans molecular biology , optics , and coding . Applicants with an undergr...

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity in gene editing and prime editor development at the University of York , United Kingdom. The project sits within a new ARIA-funded collaboration between the Universities of York and Exeter and is based at York. The successful candidate will work on the molecular biology side of an insect synthetic biology programme, focusing on pegRNA design , novel enzymes and variants, variant PAM sites, and methods for detecting specific edits. The aim is to enable ...

PhD opportunity in neuroscience , molecular biology , and behavioural biology at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom . The project, supervised by Dr Marta Zlatic , focuses on the circuit basis of learning and action selection in the tractable Drosophila larva . The research aims to uncover how distributed brain circuits implement memory formation and action choice using a synaptic-resolution connectome, genetic tools, and functional experimen...

PhD opportunity in Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Behavioural Biology at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (Cambridge, United Kingdom). This project, supervised by Dr W Schafer, focuses on neuropeptide networks and how “wireless” neuronal communication shapes behaviour. The first part uses C. elegans to study neuropeptide signaling in feeding circuits, including how peptides and receptors related to human hypothalamic appetite pathways regulate feeding and starva...
