PhD Studentship in RNA and Chromatin Biology
4 weeks ago
Project Overview
Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute is seeking a talented PhD student to join the interdisciplinary laboratory of Professor Greg Hannon. The project focuses on uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying the piRNA pathway, using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model. The successful candidate will exploit tissue culture and in vivo models, employing various biochemical, proteomic, imaging, genomics, and computational approaches to study piRNA-guided transposon control.
Research Objectives
The project aims to contribute to our understanding of the piRNA pathway and discover fundamental biology with impacts on the RNA and chromatin biology fields. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment, contributing to the development of novel research tools and techniques.
Requirements
We are looking for an enthusiastic and competent student with excellent laboratory skills, a strong background in biochemistry, genetics, and/or molecular biology, and a keen interest in transposons, small RNAs, or chromatin biology. A reasonable amount of practical research experience and an eagerness to discover fundamental biology are essential. Familiarity with imaging approaches, genomics methods, or expertise with the Drosophila model would be beneficial but are not strictly required.
Funding and Eligibility
This four-year studentship is funded by Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute and includes full funding for University fees and a stipend of £21,000 per annum for four years. We welcome applications from both UK and overseas students. Applicants with relevant research experience, gained through Master's study or while working in a laboratory, are strongly encouraged to apply.
How to Apply
Please apply via the University Applicant Portal. For further information about the course and to access the Applicant Portal, visit the University's website.
