About this position
A fully funded PhD studentship is available in the group of Associate Professor Louise Walport at the Chemistry Department, Imperial College London, with an entry date of October 2026. The research focuses on chemical biology, specifically the discovery and development of cyclic peptides as chemical tools to study and modulate the activity of peptidylarginine deiminase IV (PADI4), an enzyme implicated in autoimmunity, cancer, and other diseases. The project will involve advanced techniques in peptide chemistry, molecular biology, and biochemistry, with opportunities to contribute to cutting-edge research in the field of post-translational modifications and enzyme regulation. The studentship is open to strong UK home fee candidates and provides full tuition coverage and a UKRI-level London-weighted stipend for 3.5 years.
Applicants should have a strong academic background in chemistry, chemical biology, or a related discipline, and should submit a CV and a one-page motivation letter to express their interest. The group has a track record of impactful research, as evidenced by recent publications, and offers a supportive environment for doctoral training. For more information, candidates are encouraged to review the provided links and contact Dr. Walport directly.
