PhD Opportunity: Discovering New Genetic Causes of Cerebellar Ataxia University of Melbourne in Australia

PhD opportunity at the University of Melbourne on A population reference resource to decode repeat expansion disorders . This research degree project focuses on repeat expansion disorders , including Huntington disease , fragile X syndrome , and hereditary cerebellar ataxias . The project addresses a key challenge in clinical genetics: determining the normal range of DNA repeat sizes in healthy populations so that disease-causing thresholds can be interpreted more accurately. The opportunity is ...

Yuval Itan’s lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is hiring two postdocs to work on biobank-scale disease genomics discovery , PheWAS , and AI/ML/LLM approaches for predicting genetic variant function . This opportunity is especially relevant for candidates with a background in human genetics , bioinformatics , computational genomics , and data-driven analysis of large-scale biomedical datasets. The post emphasizes strong programming ability and a solid publication record, suggesti...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on Mitochondrial Genetic Determinants of Multiple Sclerosis . This project investigates how mitochondrial genetic variants influence the outcome of multiple sclerosis (MS) . The research builds on prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that have identified more than 200 autosomal variants associated with MS, while extending the analysis to the mitochondrial genome. Using a dedicated mitochondrial var...
