PhD Positions in Genetics in China

The Barrett lab at the University of Helsinki is recruiting a doctoral researcher to work on computational genomics for predictive medicine . The project sits at the intersection of genomics, multiomic data analysis, and machine learning, with a scientific goal of identifying mechanistically meaningful subtypes of complex human diseases. Rather than focusing only on observed clinical phenotypes, the lab aims to characterize diseases through molecular and biological endotypes that can better supp...

The FBI Counterterrorism and Forensic Science Research Unit (CFSRU) Visiting Scientist Program offers recent graduates the chance to join an immersive STEM research environment at the FBI laboratory in Quantico, Virginia. Participants work alongside CFSRU scientists on research that supports forensic science and evidence collection for law enforcement and national security. The research portfolio spans molecular biology, genetics, analytical chemistry, geology, geophysics, statistics, and physic...

The MRC FiGx-DLA programme is recruiting PhD candidates for projects focused on human genomics and genomic variants , with opportunities spanning wet-lab and dry-lab computational approaches. The post highlights two projects. The Dual-MAVE Framework project is a collaboration between the University of Edinburgh, King’s College London and the University of Exeter. The Rescue Rules project brings together King’s College London and the University of Manchester. Together, these projects offer an int...

The international MD/PhD programme “Molecular Medicine” at Hannover Medical School offers three-year research projects in a wide range of biomedicine topics. It is designed for medical and life-science applicants who want research training that links fundamental science with applied clinical questions. Students work across more than 20 departments at Hannover Medical School and with partner institutes in Hannover and Braunschweig, including TWINCORE Hannover , HZI Braunschweig , and the Fraunhof...

The International Max Planck Research School — From Molecules to Organisms is an interdisciplinary doctoral programme in the life sciences at the University of Tübingen, offered in cooperation with the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen and the Friedrich Miescher Laboratory. The programme is designed for PhD researchers who want to study complex biological processes across multiple levels of organisation, from molecules to organisms and even ecosystems. Projects and training are offered b...

This opening is for a PhD Scientific Researcher in the Initial Stage Researcher category within the project Beating4aleft-heart: Ions and cilia motility regulation at the base of heart sidedness (Ref. LCF/PR/HR26/53000026). The project focuses on how ionic regulation and cilia motility contribute to the mechanisms that establish heart sidedness and left-right body asymmetry. The successful researcher will contribute to a work plan centred on two linked aims. First, the project examines a flow ho...

The Amsterdam Leukodystrophy Center at Amsterdam UMC is offering a four-year PhD position on Vanishing White Matter (VWM), a severe inherited disorder that affects the brain’s white matter. The project is embedded in a highly specialized, internationally recognized research environment focused on leukodystrophies, with expertise spanning clinical symptoms, neuropsychological effects, MRI, genetics, neuropathology, and molecular and cellular disease mechanisms. The doctoral researcher will work o...
