Faculty positions at the Centre for Research, Application and Training in Embryology (CReATE)

Posted by , on 15 January 2026

CReATE (https://instem.res.in/create) is building a dynamic, interdisciplinary team, focused on understanding early embryonic development, using human stem cell derived models as well as computational/theoretical approaches. We are looking for scientists at both junior and senior levels, who are excited to establish independent research programs and work collaboratively. The positions come with access to generous research […]

PhD studentship: Engineering an in vitro human embryo implantation platform to study pathologies arising in early pregnancy

Posted by , on 5 November 2025

About the Project A fully funded PhD opportunity to participate in the world-leading research undertaken by the EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award at the University of Sheffield. Embryo implantation is the step in early pregnancy where the founding tissue of the placenta from the embryo, called the trophoblast, establishes a physical connection with the mother at the inner […]

MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Building a virtual human embryo to predict developmental success and failure

Posted by , on 5 November 2025

About the Project Unlocking the secrets of human embryo development demands a new, dynamic approach. This PhD project offers a unique opportunity to apply cutting-edge computational methods to a fundamental challenge in reproductive biology: understanding why human embryos fail. As delayed childbearing becomes more common, pinpointing the barriers to healthy development is critical. You’ll be […]
