The Ellison Institute of Technology’s Generative Biology Institute (GBI) is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join the Tian Lab in Oxford, United Kingdom. GBI is led by Founding Director Jason Chin and focuses on making biology engineerable by developing the ability to write biological information and predict which DNA sequences will produce desired biological functions. Led by Principal Investigator Rongzhen Tian, the Tian Lab uses an orthogonal replication system to accelerate the e...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in precision medicine and health inequalities at the Health Economics and Health Technology Assessment (HEHTA) unit, University of Glasgow. The project will analyse individual participant data from major UK clinical trials to investigate how preventive and treatment strategies can be better targeted. The research aims to improve health outcomes while reducing inequalities, bringing together precision medicine, causal inference, statistics, epidemiology and health eco...

The University of Reading is advertising a postdoctoral position exploring governance mechanisms using Rights of Nature . The project examines how nature-centric approaches can shape the ways organisations, regulators, legal systems and research communities understand and respond to the natural world. The research is situated at the intersection of environmental science, conservation ecology, governance and policy . It may engage with cross-disciplinary knowledge and wisdom to investigate pathwa...

The University of Glasgow is offering a PhD studentship through the MRC DTP in Precision Medicine , based in a cancer research laboratory led by Professor G. Vignir Helgason. The project will investigate the role and function of top-scoring genes identified through a meta-analysis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) leukemia stem-cell datasets, with a particular focus on RXFP1 . The research is centered on understanding gene function in CML leukemia stem cells and may contribute to precision medic...

Cardiff University’s School of Biosciences is offering a fully funded PhD project within the MECAW and CAB research groups.
