PhD position in Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome (CMS22) and Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) KU Leuven in Belgium

KU Leuven in Belgium is advertising a PhD position in a research project on LINE-1 transposition , host factors , and their role in human disease. The group is internationally known for work on HIV host factors , including LEDGF/p75 and Transportin-SR2, and has extended this expertise to LINE-1, a human retrotransposon implicated in neuroinflammatory diseases . The project investigates how host factors facilitate LINE-1 transposition and aims to identify inhibitors of LINE-1 transposition in cel...

PhD opportunity: Investigating CDK control of the eukaryotic cell cycle at The Francis Crick Institute in London, United Kingdom. This funded PhD project is with Dr P Nurse and focuses on how cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) regulate the eukaryotic cell cycle. The project uses fission yeast as a model system to study how CDK activity rises through the cell cycle, how it coordinates S-phase and mitosis, how it is linked to cell growth, and how phosphorylation timing and substrate specificity are c...

Post-Doctoral Associate at Rutgers University-Newark in the Department of Biological Sciences. This postdoctoral opening is centered on Drosophila melanogaster research on signaling pathways and regulatory proteins that affect intracellular transport . The work connects basic genetics , molecular biology , cell biology , biochemistry , microscopy , and neurobiology to questions relevant to human neurological disorders. The lab seeks a candidate who can work independently, collaborate closely wit...

VIB’s Laboratory of Causal Systems Immunology is recruiting a PhD student or postdoctoral researcher for an in vivo CRISPR screening project focused on immune-cell states , single-cell perturbation technologies , and systems immunology . The work sits at the intersection of experimental biology , computational biology , bioinformatics , and causal inference / probabilistic AI , with opportunities to work on either the dry-lab side, wet-lab side, or a hybrid profile. The lab is embedded in the VI...

Doctoral candidate with application for an FWO grant at KU Leuven (Leuven, Belgium) in the interdisciplinary research facility Molecular Medicine within the Department of Pharmaceutical and Pharmacological Sciences. The project is led by Prof. Dr. Zeger Debyser and focuses on human LINE-1 retrotransposition , host factors that facilitate LINE-1 transposition, and the development of inhibitors in cell culture and animal models. The research also uses IPSC-derived human neuron cultures , linking t...
