PhD in Post-transcriptional Control of the Segmentation Clock and Somitogenesis University of Dundee in United Kingdom

University of Oxford is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Epitranscriptomics at the Target Discovery Institute, NDM Research Building, Old Road Campus, Headington, Oxford, United Kingdom. The project sits in Dr Chunxiao Song’s research group and focuses on DNA and RNA modifications , especially pseudouridine and pseudouridine synthases (PUS) , with applications in cancer , diagnostics, and therapeutics. The group develops technologies to map epigenetic and epitranscriptomic marks a...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom, focused on single-cell multi-omics , enhancer biology , and the developmental control of blood and cardiovascular fate . The project investigates how enhancer activity changes as blood, endothelial, and cardiac lineages emerge in the chick embryo. You will combine single-cell RNA-sequencing and ATAC-sequencing to reconstruct gene-regulatory networks, identify candidate enhancers, and study how hematoendothelial progenit...

PhD project at the University of Bath within the GW4 BioMed3 MRC Doctoral Landscape Programme (DLP) : Decoding Neurodevelopmental Disorders: From Patient Variants to Disease Mechanisms . This is a competition-funded PhD project for entry in September 2027 , with up to 17 studentships available across the GW4 BioMed3 partnership (Bath, Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter). The project investigates how disease-associated variants in HECTD1 affect protein stability, ubiquitin ligase activity, signalling pathw...

Funded PhD project at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom on sex-specific immune responsiveness , with a strong focus on immunology , genetics , molecular biology , bioinformatics , cell biology , and developmental biology . The project, supervised by Prof Matthias Merkenschlager and Dr Lila Allou , investigates why females are often better able to cope with some infections yet are more prone to autoimmune disease. The research centers on Toll-like receptors (T...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute / Tyser Group on emergence of form and function during early heart development . The project explores how the mammalian heart begins to form and function during embryonic development, with a focus on heart development , cardiac progenitor cells , cardiomyocyte differentiation , and the relationship between the onset of contraction and heart morphology. The group uses imaging and molecular biology approaches in bo...
