Neural systems development and cognitive impairments in chromatin-related disorders PhD Studentship Join to apply for the Neural systems development and cognitive impairments in chromatin-related disorders PhD Studentship role at Minderoo Centre for Technology and Democracy The Department of Pathology has an excellent reputation in pure biological and biomedical research and is offering a fully funded studentship from October 2026 to work with Dr Kate Baker in this large and vibrant Department. Funding for this studentship will cover the student's stipend at the current Research Council rate and Home University Fees. The studentship will be funded for 4 years from October 2026. Project title: Neural systems development and cognitive impairments in chromatin-related disorders, a multimodal approach. Chromatin-related disorders (CRDs) are a large group of rare genetic conditions affecting cognition and mental health. Although it is now relatively easy to diagnose CRDs, we are at an early stage of understanding how pathogenic variants in CRD genes disrupt epigenetic regulation and influence brain development, leading to this complex spectrum of lifelong difficulties. This patient-centred PhD will involve collecting and analysing deep phenotyping data (including structural and functional neuroimaging) to discover neural system abnormalities contributing to cognitive dimensions within CRDs. The student will contribute to local, national and international collaborative efforts to integrate patient phenotyping with molecular and cellular datasets to understand gene-brain-behaviour relationships. Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 4 years in the first instance. How to apply: Applicants should hold (or expect to obtain) the equivalent of a UK 2.1 or higher in an undergraduate honours or Masters degree in a relevant subject.
