PhD Studentship: How Do RNA Molecules Shape Genome Regulation in the Nervous System? University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity: Whole genome sequencing from mosquito blood meals at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom. This project sits within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP) and focuses on genomics , bioinformatics , molecular genetics , evolution , ecology , entomology , and biotechnology . The research aims to move beyond species detection in mosquito blood meals and pioneer the recovery of whole animal genomes from these samples. Working w...

PhD opportunity: Poised Chromatin and the Epigenetic Control of Development at the Babraham Institute (Cambridge), within the Epigenetics Programme. This project investigates how poised chromatin and bivalent chromatin domains regulate developmental gene expression in embryonic stem cells. The research focuses on histone acetylation marks, reader proteins, chromatin recruitment, gene activation/repression pathways, and how these mechanisms shape cell differentiation and development. Research tra...

PhD studentship at the University of Birmingham in the Department of Cancer and Genomic Sciences on molecular drivers of enhancer rewiring in blood cancers , with a focus on multiple myeloma , gene regulation, epigenetics, transcription factors, chromatin activation, and genome organisation. The project investigates how B-lineage transcription factors and chromatin-associated complexes such as Mediator, P300/CBP, and CTCF shape gene regulatory networks in myeloma. The research aims to identify a...

PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia for Chinese nationals interested in RNA biology, ageing, and genomics. This collaborative project is jointly hosted by Dr. Alper Akay’s laboratory at UEA in the UK and Dr. Magdalena Koziol’s laboratory at the Chinese Institute for Brain Research in China. The research will investigate how non-coding RNAs and their dynamic modifications, including rRNAs, tRNAs, and miRNAs, influence the ageing process. The project will use Oxford Nanopore direct RN...

Queen Mary University of London is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Barts Cancer Institute , Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry, for a fixed-term full-time appointment of 3.5 years. The project is funded by ARIA and focuses on epiPRIME (“epigenetically programmed resilience through innate memory engineering”). The successful candidate will conduct laboratory experiments using epigenetic editing approaches engineered in cell lines and primary cells to induce antiviral immunity in ...
