PhD Positions in Epigenetics in China

Laboratory of Epigenetics and Chromatin Dynamics at Lund University’s Department of Experimental Medical Science is recruiting a PhD student to join a project on how epigenetic mechanisms regulate repetitive and transposable genetic elements in human brain development and disease. The research is led by Dr Christopher Douse and carried out in a group of 8 research-active members. The lab studies underexplored parts of the human genome often described as “genomic dark matter,” with a particular i...

Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München is offering a PhD project in Placental Biology at the Biomedical Center Munich (BMC), Institute of Physiological Chemistry, in Planegg, Germany. The research investigates how a conserved chromatin regulatory network safeguards early development, with particular emphasis on the extra-embryonic lineage and its communication with the developing embryo. The project will examine how disruption of this network in the placenta can influence fetal brain development...

The international and interdisciplinary PhD programme Genomic and Molecular Medicine – Personalised Approaches to Childhood Health is based at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and is linked to the Dr. von Hauner Children’s Hospital and the Munich Medical Research School . It is designed around research and qualification in child health, with a strong emphasis on understanding normal and pathological development. Students can work across a broad set of research areas including genomics, epi...

The International PhD Programme (IPP) at the Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) in Mainz offers doctoral researchers the chance to join a large, international community of around 200 students working across molecular and life-science research. The programme is centred on gene regulation, epigenetics, and genome stability , with projects spanning a broad set of topics in modern biology. As an IPP PhD student, you can work within participating labs at the Institute of Molecular Biology, Johannes...

Shubhendu Palei's research group at the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur is seeking highly motivated PhD students to work at the interface of chemical biology , cyclic peptide drug discovery , and epigenetics . The opening offers an opportunity to pursue research on chemically driven approaches to biological questions, with a particular focus on cyclic peptides and their potential in drug discovery. Students may engage with interdisciplinary problems connecting peptide chemistry, molecul...

The International Max Planck Research School for Molecular Plant Science (IMPRS MolPlant) is a joint doctoral programme of the University of Potsdam and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam, Germany. It offers PhD research and training in modern plant science within an interdisciplinary and research-intensive environment. Doctoral researchers work on fundamental questions in plant biology, including photosynthesis, central metabolism, respiration, organ and tissue fo...

The International Max Planck Research School for Epigenetics, Biophysics and Metabolism (IMPRS-EBM) is a collaborative doctoral programme between the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics and the Faculty of Biology at the University of Freiburg. The programme offers research-oriented interdisciplinary training across epigenetics, biophysics, metabolism, biochemistry, cell biology, proteomics, bioinformatics, and functional genomics. Doctoral researchers rotate through three labor...

The International Max Planck Research School for Biology and Computation (IMPRS-BAC) is a doctoral programme jointly run by the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin and Freie Universität Berlin. It brings together research and training across the departments of Mathematics and Computer Science, Biology, Chemistry and Pharmacy at FUB, alongside the research environment of MPIMG. The programme is designed around the growing interface between molecular genetics and information scie...

Bernhard Payer’s laboratory at CHU Sainte-Justine and Université de Montréal is recruiting motivated postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, and MSc students in Montreal, Canada. The team investigates the intersection of epigenetics and reproduction, with research topics including X-chromosome inactivation, pluripotency, stem cell biology, oogenesis, and stem cell-derived in vitro gametogenesis. These projects are relevant to developmental biology, reproductive biology, and maternal and child he...
