About this position
PhD opportunity: Visualizing cellular proteostasis at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, with supervision by Dr Juliette Fedry.
This project focuses on proteostasis—how cells synthesize, fold, localize, and degrade proteins to maintain protein homeostasis. The lab studies how the proteostasis network is organized across cell types, how it changes under different physiological conditions, and how it becomes dysregulated during stress and disease.
Research themes include translational regulation in specific cellular conditions, proteostasis rewiring during stress, and related method development. The work uses an advanced toolkit spanning biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, light microscopy, cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET), and computational analysis.
The project is described as a competition funded PhD project and is open to students worldwide. The specific project can be refined to fit the student’s interests, goals, and skills.
How to apply: register your interest on the FindAPhD project page; the university will respond directly to your enquiry. No explicit deadline, fee waiver, or language-test waiver is stated in the post.
