PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on programmed axon death , SARM1 , NMNAT2 , and protein design . The project focuses on understanding the mechanism of programmed axon death, an intrinsic axonal death pathway implicated in neurodegenerative disease and injury. The work will use rational protein design to create variant forms of SARM1 or hybrid reporter constructs to study activation, stability, enzyme activity, and post-translational modi...

About this position

PhD studentship opportunity at the University of Exeter through the SWBio DTP Hub Doctoral Training Partnership.

The project is led by Wendy Noble, with co-supervision from Robert Williams (University of Bath), Rosie Bamford, and Clémence Bernard. It will investigate the expression and function of novel tau isoforms in the healthy and diseased brain, and their potential contribution to dementia.

This is a strong opportunity for candidates interested in neuroscience, dementia research, neurodegeneration, molecular mechanisms, and brain biology. The post is specifically a PhD studentship rather than a postdoctoral or master’s opportunity.

The announcement does not list detailed eligibility criteria, but applicants should review the project page for full requirements and application instructions. The deadline given in the post is 2 December 2026.

Interested applicants should follow the link provided in the announcement for more information and to apply.
