PhD in Gene Regulatory Programmes, Neural and Pancreatic Development, and Vertebrate Evolution University of Warwick in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity: Spatial Control of Wnt–ERK Signalling by Glypican-Dependent Ligand Dispersal in Development and Disease at the Babraham Institute (Cambridge), with the Babraham Institute Graduate Programme and BitBio. This project explores how glypicans regulate extracellular signalling environments, focusing on GPC6, Wnt ligand dispersal, ERK activation, and non-canonical Wnt pathway activity. The research connects developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, and neuroscience, with rele...

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher to join the “Physiological and Pathological Mechanisms of Cortical Development” team led by Dr. Juliette Godin at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC) in Strasbourg, France. The project is supervised directly by Dr. Efil Bayam and is part of the ANR-funded SpeaDAT project , which investigates how species-specific dysfunction of the ADAT tRNA deaminase complex affects brain development. The successful candidate...

PhD opportunity: Golgi function in brain organoids at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, UK. This project investigates how the Golgi apparatus organizes membrane trafficking and how Golgi proteins contribute to tissue function and neurodevelopment. The research uses brain organoids derived from stem cells to model tissue formation in vitro, with a focus on the YIPF5 protein complex and related proteins implicated in microcephaly, epilepsy, and diabetes (ME...

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 a...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge / Cambridge Stem Cell Institute in neuroscience , stem cells , developmental biology , and cell biology . The project, “Neurotransmitter signalling to central nervous system progenitor cells,” is led by Professor Ragnhildur Thóra Káradóttir (Káradóttir Group). The research focuses on how oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) sense neuronal activity and neurotransmitter signals, decide whether to differentiate into myelin-producing oligodendrocytes ...
