PhD in how perception affects genetic inheritance in zebrafish University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

Funded PhD project at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr Margarida Cardoso Moreira in London, United Kingdom. This project asks how maternal immune systems evolved to support the placenta and tolerate genetically mismatched embryonic tissue. The research combines developmental biology , evolution , genomics , immunology , reproductive biology , and bioinformatics , with a strong emphasis on analysing large single-cell datasets. A key comparative angle is the study of pregnancy in mammals and in...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Biological Sciences on Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance of Responses to Environmental Stress . This project investigates how environmental stress responses may be transmitted across generations through non-genetic / epigenetic inheritance . Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system, the research will examine whether key cellular stress responses can be inherited, whether this improves survival and fitness under stress...

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in the School of Biology, within the EASTBIO BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. This project, “It’s getting hot in here: uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying changes in social behaviour at increased temperatures,” explores how climate change and rising temperatures alter animal social behaviour and the molecular mechanisms behind those changes. The study system is the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides . The PhD will examine how te...

PhD opportunity: Cross-Species determinants of stress susceptibility in PSC-derived Neural Progenitors and Spinal Motor Neurons. This funded PhD project is based at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, United Kingdom , and is part of the Babraham Institute Graduate Programme / BioSCaPe iDLA Studentship . The project is supervised by Dr Teresa Rayon and is conducted in collaboration with Axol , offering both academic and industrial research exposure. Research focus: developmental biology, stem ce...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr Ekaterina Osipova on genetic mechanisms of metabolic rate control in birds and mammals . This project focuses on how metabolic rate varies across animals and how genetic elements, genes, and regulatory regions shape those differences. The work combines comparative genomics , evolution , genomics , bioinformatics , molecular genetics , and potentially lab-based validation . The lab uses evolutionary rate-based methods and machine-learning app...
