Richard Clarkson

A fully funded PhD position is available at Cardiff University, focusing on the molecular mechanisms of NFkappaB transcription factor complex formation. This opportunity is offered through the South West Biosciences Doctoral Training Partnership (SWBio DTP), a prestigious program supporting advanced biosciences research. The project will be supervised by Professors Richard Clarkson and Dafydd Jones, both experts in molecular biology and biochemistry. The research aims to elucidate how NFkappaB complexes form and regulate gene expression, with implications for understanding cell signaling and disease processes. Applicants should have a strong background in biological or biomedical sciences, with experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, or cell signaling considered advantageous. The position is open to UK and international candidates who meet the academic and English language requirements. Funding includes full tuition and a competitive stipend, with additional support for research and training. The application deadline is December 28, 2025. Interested candidates should apply via the SWBio DTP portal and are encouraged to contact the supervisors for further information about the project.
