PhD in the interaction of steroid hormone receptors with FOXL2 during ovary development The Francis Crick Institute in United Kingdom

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...

Funded PhD opportunity at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom, on spatial and three-dimensional genome regulation during zygotic genome activation (ZGA) . This project explores how chromatin architecture, promoter-enhancer communication, boundary formation, insulation, and spatially restricted transcriptional states are coordinated as the embryonic genome becomes active. The work sits at the intersection of developmental genomics , chromatin biology , genomics ...

The Francis Crick Institute is recruiting for its 2027 PhD programme, offering a strong opportunity for students interested in cutting-edge research in the biological sciences. The programme is based at the Crick in London and is designed for first-stage researchers seeking rigorous doctoral training in a world-class research environment. Applications are open via the Crick’s website, with two recruitment routes mentioned in the advert. The deadline is Tuesday 3 November 2026 at 12:00 PM (noon, ...

Research Associate in Vector Control Strategies at Imperial College London (South Kensington Campus, on site only). This is a full-time fixed-term research position in the Crisanti group focused on vector control , malaria control , CRISPR/Cas9 gene drive development, molecular biology , genetics , and mosquito population control. The project aims to build and improve self-sustaining gene drive systems by designing, building, and testing novel gene drives with improved nucleases, new genetic tar...

Postdoctoral Research Associate in Functional Genomics at Imperial College London (Hammersmith Campus, on site only). This is a 3-year fixed-term research position in the newly established Renal Genomics group, focused on how gene-regulatory networks drive kidney and urinary tract development and how disruption of these mechanisms leads to congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tract (CAKUT) . The project combines stem cell biology , developmental biology , genetics/genomics , and molec...
