Living Systems Institute Exeter opens new PhD programme! Apply now!

Posted by Steffen on November 22nd, 2019

Modern scientific innovation involves the integration of diverse disciplines and the bridging of pure and application-oriented research. This requires a new generation of bioscientists who are trained to think and experiment beyond traditional boundaries. The recently established Living Systems Institute (LSI), University of Exeter, provides this opportunity by housing world-leading Biologists, Physicists, Mathematicians, Computational Scientists[…]

We are looking for ambitious and motivated postgraduate candidates to join our new computational biology group at the MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine in Edinburgh. We are using expertise in mathematical modelling of cell interactions to answer biological questions in development and regeneration in close collaboration with experimental colleagues. There are four projects, competition-funded through the[…]

BBSRC White Rose PhD studentship in stem cell biology

Posted by Anestis Tsakiridis on November 15th, 2019

A BBSRC-funded PhD studentship is available for a joint project between the labs of Anestis Tsakiridis (https://www.tsakiridislab.com/) and Dan Bose (http://www.bose-lab.com/) at the University of Sheffield. Project description: Non-coding DNA regulatory elements or enhancers control tissue and region-specific expression of critical developmental regulators thus playing a crucial role in the correct formation of the embryonic[…]

PhD studentship: Identifying mechanisms for cell division plane orientation in plants

Posted by Jill Harrison on November 13th, 2019

Supervisors: Jill Harrison and Tom Gorochowski Project Description Summary: Plant shape is a primary determinant of productivity and yield because it affects light interception and photosynthesis. As plant cells are bound by a cell wall and cannot move, shape arises as an outcome of the plane of new cell divisions, and subsequent cell growth. Flowering[…]

CASE PhD studentship: Intercepting CLAVATA receptor-like kinase function to engineer ear size in wheat

Posted by Jill Harrison on November 13th, 2019

Supervisors: Jill Harrison, Keith Edwards and Chris Burt (RAGT Seeds) Project Description Summary: Ensuring continuous global food security will be a major challenge of the 21st century, and wheat contributes approximately 20% of the total calories consumed by humans (FAO, 2017). In cereals like wheat, inflorescence (ear) size determines the number of flowers (florets) and[…]
