Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Molecular Cell Biology and Neural Development University of Sussex in United Kingdom

Postdoctoral Research Associate opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Genetics , working with Dr Felipe Karam Teixeira on germline differentiation and oogenesis in the Drosophila female germline . The project investigates the molecular mechanisms that drive developmental switches required for oocyte formation, with a focus on how transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and chromatin-associated mechanisms coordinate differentiation in vivo. The research env...

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Neurobiology and Behaviour at the University of Sussex , based in Brighton, UK, in the laboratory of Professor Claudio Alonso . The project focuses on neural development and function in Drosophila , with an emphasis on how molecular biology of neurons relates to the development and function of neural circuits. The successful candidate will join the Alonso lab and work closely with group members and UK/international collaborators in a vibrant neuroscience environme...

PhD opportunity in Drosophila morphogenesis, cell contractility, and developmental biology at the University of St Andrews. This EASTBIO-funded project investigates the mechanisms underlying pulsed contractions during morphogenesis, with a focus on how rhythmic cytoskeletal contractility drives apical constriction and tissue shaping in Drosophila larval epithelial cells. The project combines cell biology , genetics , and molecular biology with advanced imaging and manipulation approaches. You wi...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute in developmental biology , cell communication , and tissue growth control . This funded PhD project with Nic Tapon explores how cells coordinate growth and cell-cycle exit during development, with a focus on gap junctions , local signalling, and tissue-size control. The work uses Drosophila , mice, and cell culture to study how mechanical forces, tissue architecture, signalling pathways, nutrients, and hormones are integrated to determine final anim...

PhD opportunity in Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Behavioural Biology at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (Cambridge, United Kingdom). This project, supervised by Dr W Schafer, focuses on neuropeptide networks and how “wireless” neuronal communication shapes behaviour. The first part uses C. elegans to study neuropeptide signaling in feeding circuits, including how peptides and receptors related to human hypothalamic appetite pathways regulate feeding and starva...
