PhD opportunity in neuronal development, mechanobiology, neuroscience and biophysics at University of Warwick University of Warwick in United Kingdom

Funded PhD project at The Francis Crick Institute in London, United Kingdom, on the cryo-EM structure of mechanically unfolded proteins . The project is a 2027 Crick Joint PhD with Dr Sergi Garcia-Manyes and Dr Alessandro Costa , combining expertise from single-molecule mechanics and cryo-EM. The research sits at the intersection of biochemistry , biophysics , physical chemistry , molecular biology , and bioengineering . It focuses on how mechanical forces regulate protein unfolding and mechanot...

PhD opportunity: Connectomics across sexes, species and states at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , biology , molecular biology , biophysics , bioengineering , and computational analysis. The research focuses on connectomics —synaptic-resolution wiring diagrams—to study how neural circuits generate behaviour in Drosophila and related species. The group has already contributed to majo...

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 ...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute, London, United Kingdom in structural biology, virology, biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology . This funded PhD project, supervised by Dr I Taylor , focuses on the ZAP antiviral response and how the proteins ZAP, KHNYN, and Trim25 assemble into molecular complexes that recognize viral RNA and trigger RNA degradation. The project aims to uncover the structure and mechanism of this antiviral system using protein purification, RNA-binding as...

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership, supervised by Dr Falk Schneider. This project investigates the role of plasma membrane organisation in tissue development , with a focus on how membrane properties and receptor organisation shape signalling during embryogenesis. The work combines cell biology , biological sciences , systematic biology , and tissue engineering with quantitative biophysical methods. Research methods in...
