PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Developmental Biology in Ireland

The Lawson Lab will relocate to the Department of Dermatology at the University of Wisconsin in Madison in January 2027 and is recruiting multiple postdoctoral research associates for projects focused on vascular anomalies. Projects can be tailored to candidates’ interests in consultation with the principal investigator, Nathan D. Lawson. One research direction models vascular anomalies in human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The postdoctoral researcher will generate and characterize hu...

The Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology (CCMB) at the University of Southern California’s Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry is seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar – Research Associate to join the laboratory of Dr. Yang Chai. The position sits within a research program focused on the regulation of developmental patterning, organogenesis, stem cells, and regenerative medicine, with an emphasis on the molecular mechanisms that shape normal and abnormal craniofacial development. Work in the Chai La...

Heidelberg Biosciences International Graduate School (HBIGS) at Heidelberg University is a doctoral programme in the biosciences, offering PhD training in a highly interdisciplinary research environment in Heidelberg. The programme brings together research areas in which Heidelberg is especially strong, including developmental biology, infectious diseases, molecular and cellular biology, molecular biotechnology and biophysics, molecular plant sciences, neurosciences, structural biology, biochemi...

The Zenk Lab at EPFL’s NeuroNA Chair in Epigenomics of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (EpiGN) is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for an interdisciplinary project at the intersection of single-cell genomics, machine learning, and developmental biology. The position focuses on integrating and analysing multi-modal single-cell datasets, including scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, scCUT&Tag, Hi-C, and proteomics, to study trajectory inference, regulatory dynamics, and cell fate decisions. A central aim is to u...

A postdoctoral research associate position is available at the Center for Craniofacial Molecular Biology at the University of Southern California . The role is embedded in an NIH-funded laboratory and offers the opportunity to work with a diverse team of researchers and physicians in a highly collaborative biomedical environment. The project focuses on craniofacial biology , tissue regeneration , and cellular metabolism . The selected scholar will join Dr. Michael Paine’s research projects as ke...

A full-time research position is available in the Baugh lab in the Department of Biology at Duke University . The lab studies how nutrition shapes development and organismal physiology using the roundworm C. elegans as a model system. The Research Associate will join an active research team working on projects that examine the adult consequences of early life starvation and the nutritional control of gene expression. The role is research-intensive and sits within a lab environment focused on exp...

The Sparks Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine is seeking a postdoctoral scholar to study the molecular and epigenetic mechanisms that guide early human pluripotent stem cell differentiation. The project centers on neural crest and mesoderm lineage specification and aims to define the intermediate cell states and regulatory mechanisms that shape these early developmental decisions. The scholar will work with human embryonic stem cells and pluripotent stem cell differentiation syst...

Postdoctoral Scholar positions are available throughout the year in the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology at the University of California, Irvine. The positions are sponsored by faculty members in Developmental and Cell Biology within the Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences. The role is part of a broad postdoctoral research environment rather than a single named project, giving selected scholars the opportunity to contribute to ongoing research across developmental and cellul...

The Dresden International Graduate School for Interdisciplinary Life Sciences (DIGS-ILS) at Dresden University of Technology is a doctoral programme for research in the life sciences within a collaborative and international environment in Dresden. The programme is run in cooperation with the International Max Planck Research School for Cell, Developmental and Systems Biology (IMPRS-CellDevoSys) under the umbrella of the Dresden International PhD Programme (DIPP) . Students work across a broad se...
