PhD in Red Blood Cell Mechanosensation and Membrane Tension Modulation (Cell Biology, Biophysics, Bioengineering) University of Bristol in United Kingdom

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) is advertising a PhD position in Brillouin Microscopy in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The position is suited to candidates with a strong background in physics and practical experience in microscopy . Experience in mechanobiology or biomedical research is especially desirable. The post is shared by Imran AKCA-AVCI , Associate Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at VU Amsterdam, who appears to be the academic owner of this opening. This is a ...

Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship in the lab of Professor Heike Laman . The project investigates how ubiquitin regulates secretory trafficking in dopaminergic neurons , with a focus on how the E3 ubiquitin ligase subunit FBXO7 controls protein movement through the secretory pathway. The research uses human stem cell-derived neurons as a model system and combines live-cell imaging , RUSH assays , proteomics , and functional experiments....

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick with Eva Kreysing (Assistant Professor) in an interdisciplinary project on neuronal development , mechanobiology , neuroscience , biophysics , and molecular biology . The project asks how brain stiffness shapes brain development and uses advanced microscopy approaches to study the physical and molecular factors that influence how the brain forms. This opening is advertised through the MRC DTP programme / Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Doctoral ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in the lab of Dr Eva Kreysing , an Assistant Professor working at the interface of neuroscience , mechanobiology , biophysics , molecular biology , and advanced microscopy . The project asks a fascinating question: how does brain stiffness shape neuronal development? The lab is looking for curious, open, and creative scientists who want to help move the field forward by studying how physical properties of the brain influence development. This is a PhD...

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick (Coventry, United Kingdom) in neuroscience , cell biology , genetics , and mechanobiology . The project, titled How neurons sense tissue stiffness during maturation , investigates how neurons detect and respond to the stiffness of their surrounding tissue during development. The research builds on evidence that neuronal maturation can depend on local mechanical properties, with neurons maturing earlier in softer brain regions and more slowly in...
