PhD Studentship: From Brain to Germline: How Perception Affects Genetic Inheritance University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom: From brain to germline: how perception affects genetic inheritance (IMMLER_UEA_ARIES27). This competition-funded PhD project explores how perceived temperature changes, not only actual heat stress, can influence the germline and shape transgenerational inheritance in zebrafish. The project sits at the intersection of biology , neuroscience , environmental science , genomics , bioinformatics , reproductive biology , deve...

Postdoctoral Fellow opportunity at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the United Kingdom, based in Hinxton/Cambridge, within the Martin group. The project sits at the intersection of statistical genetics, genomics, proteomics, epigenetics, bioinformatics, and medical science, with a strong focus on early-life traits and conditions, neonatal diseases, pregnancy complications, perinatal traits, and biomarker development. Research directions include analysis of large-scale proteomic data from Scandin...

PhD opportunity at the University of St Andrews in the School of Biology, within the EASTBIO BBSRC Doctoral Training Partnership. This project, “It’s getting hot in here: uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying changes in social behaviour at increased temperatures,” explores how climate change and rising temperatures alter animal social behaviour and the molecular mechanisms behind those changes. The study system is the burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides . The PhD will examine how te...
