About this position

PhD opportunity in neuroscience, developmental biology, and molecular biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge) / Laboratory of Molecular Biology.

The project, supervised by Dr A Cardona, investigates how neuronal activity shapes the development of correctly functioning neural circuits. Using the fruit fly embryo as a model system, the successful student will image samples with eFIB-SEM, reconstruct and proofread connectomes, and compare brain and nerve cord circuitry before and after the embryonic critical period.

This is a competition funded PhD project and is open to students worldwide. The post does not list a stipend amount, tuition coverage details, or specific academic entry requirements in the text provided.

Interested candidates should register their interest via the FindAPhD listing. The university will respond directly after enquiry submission.

Application window / deadline: Tuesday, December 08, 2026.

Funding details

Competition funded PhD project (students worldwide). Funding details beyond funded status are not specified in the post.

What's required

Applicants should be interested in developmental neuroscience, molecular biology, and connectomics. The project involves imaging with eFIB-SEM and reconstructing, proofreading, and comparing fruit fly embryo connectomes before and after a critical developmental period. No specific degree class, language test, or GPA requirement is stated in the post.
