PhD Studentship: Functional Genomics of Sexually Antagonistic Selection University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

[Funding covers fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] PhD studentship at the University of Exeter on "One read, one cell: Decoding cell identity with long-read sequencing" . This project sits at the intersection of functional genomics, epigenomics, mathematics, and computer science. It aims to resolve cell-type-specific epigenetic profiles directly from long-read sequencing data, without the need to physically separate cells from complex tissues. Using methylation patterns from O...

[Funded studentship with fees covered and a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] University of Exeter PhD Studentship in Decoding the rules of human gene interaction networks using combinatorial functional genomics . This funded doctoral project sits at the interface of functional genomics, molecular genetics, imaging, bioinformatics, statistics and data science. It addresses a major challenge in human genetics: understanding how combinations of genes interact to shape cellular phenotypes a...

[Fully funded studentship covering fees, maintenance stipend of £21,805 p.a. for 2026/27, and a research training and support grant (RTSG). Limited studentships available for international applicants with home/international fee difference waived; does not cover visa or health surcharge costs.] PhD Studentship: The Net Effect of Sex on Adaptation at the University of East Anglia explores a fundamental evolutionary question: why is sexual reproduction so widespread, and what is the long-run balanc...

[Home tuition fees plus a Doctoral Stipend for up to 4 years.] PhD Studentship at the University of Exeter on rare variant functional genomics for better understanding, prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. This interdisciplinary studentship focuses on uncovering the genetic architecture and biological mechanisms underlying disabling musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis and Dupuytren’s contracture. The project combines large-scale human genomics, statistical analysi...

[Full tuition fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] PhD studentship at the University of Exeter on developing a new variant effect predictor for multiple missense variants in the same protein molecule. This EPSRC-funded project tackles an important challenge in clinical genomics: most variant interpretation tools assess missense changes one at a time, even though many patients carry multiple variants in the same gene or protein. The project will develop and validate a new computa...
