PhD opportunity in immunology and molecular biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology. The project, supervised by Dr Patrycja Kozic, asks whether perforin-2 (Mpeg1) forms pores in two orientations and how this ancient MACPF/CDC family protein is regulated during immune responses. The research focuses on perforin-2 function in dendritic cells and macrophages, especially its roles in attacking intravacuolar pathogens and enabling cytosolic antigen deliver...

About this position

PhD project at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology with Dr F Randow on non-protein ubiquitylation in infection and physiology.

This project explores how ubiquitylation extends beyond proteins to non-protein substrates such as LPS on invading bacteria and poorly branched glycogen. The research connects bacteriology, immunology, molecular biology, and selective autophagy, with implications for host defense, biomolecular quality control, and disease-relevant glycogen pathology.

The post is advertised as a competition funded PhD project for students worldwide. No stipend amount, tuition details, or waiver information are stated in the listing.

Applicants interested in the molecular mechanism and physiological consequences of non-protein ubiquitylation are encouraged to register interest via the FindAPhD enquiry form. The page indicates that the university will respond directly after enquiry.

Location: Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Deadline: 2026-12-08.

Funding details

Competition funded PhD project for students worldwide. The post indicates a funded PhD project, but no stipend amount, tuition coverage, or other financial details are provided.

What's required

Students interested in investigating the molecular mechanism and physiological consequences of non-protein ubiquitylation are invited to apply. The project is in bacteriology, immunology, and molecular biology; no additional formal entry requirements are stated in the post.
