PhD Opportunities in Spatial Transcriptomics in Canada

A PhD position in Evolutionary Genomics is available in the group of Henrik Kaessmann at Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, Germany. The project is part of a highly collaborative research environment at the ZMBH and is focused on major questions in the origins and molecular evolution of organs in mammals and other vertebrates. The lab’s research emphasizes the evolution of gene expression and its regulatory basis, using extensive comparative genomics resources such as single-cell RNA-seq and A...

PhD opportunity at the University of Sydney in the Early-life Microbiome and Immunity group led by Archita Mishra . The project explores the foundations of human immunity before birth and how the developing immune system is shaped during fetal life. Research themes include immunology , microbiome , human development , and fetal development , with methods such as spatial transcriptomics , single-cell approaches , and tissue imaging . This is a strong fit for students interested in developmental b...

Research Scientist (PhD) opening at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, with the Pan Lab at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and the Department of Oncological Sciences. This is a computational research role focused on artificial intelligence, computational pathology, computer vision, deep learning, image processing, multi-omics, spatial biology, and precision oncology . The lab studies cancer using digital pathology and multi-omics data, with an emphasis on translating quantitative tiss...

PhD opportunity at the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products (CNAP), Department of Biology, University of York , in collaboration with the Department of Plant Sciences, University of Cambridge . This project sits at the intersection of plant biology , engineering biology , 3D imaging , single-cell genomics , spatial transcriptomics , and computational genomics . The research asks how cells from two evolutionarily distant plant species recognise each other, reprogramme their identities, and form...

Institut Imagine in Paris, France is recruiting for two research opportunities in the group of Araksya Izmiryan within the Laboratory of Genetic skin diseases: from disease mechanism to therapy (Lab Director: Alain Hovnanian ). The research theme is highly translational and focuses on genetic skin diseases , especially epidermolysis bullosa . The group works on genome editing , stem cell biology , patient-derived skin models, and advanced 3D systems to develop innovative therapeutic strategies. ...

Two PhD candidates are being recruited for a collaborative neuroscience project on repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) and its role in long-term memory decline and dementia. The project is titled “From injury to decline: understanding cellular mechanisms driving traumatic brain injury-associated dementia” and is a joint effort between Carlos P. Fitzsimons at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences, University of Amsterdam and Evgenia Salta at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscie...

Funded PhD project at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, United Kingdom on pluripotency-specific regulation of transposable elements in mammalian development . The project sits in the Chromatin and Development (Percharde) lab and is co-supervised by Dr Veronique Azuara . It focuses on developmental biology , chromatin regulation , epigenetics , embryonic stem cells , pluripotency , transposable elements , immune sensing , and cell fate in early mammalian development. The stu...

PhD position at the University of Amsterdam on the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving traumatic brain injury (TBI)-associated dementia . The project focuses on repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI), long-term neuroinflammation, hippocampal dysfunction, memory decline, neurogenesis, astrogliogenesis, microglia activation, and conserved transcriptional programs in mouse and human hippocampus. The position is embedded in a collaboration between the Fitzsimons lab at the Swammerdam I...
