4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Genetics
Summary of PhD Program:
The Drosophila adult midgut is a homeostatic tissue, in which cells constantly turn over and are replaced by the progeny of intestinal stem cells divisions. These progeny, called enteroblasts, are initially quiescent, lack an apical domain and lie on the basal side of the epithelium. In response to dying cells or signals that expand the gut, the enteroblasts integrate into the epithelium, polarise and form a new apical domain with a typical brush border. Two features of this process are very different from other epithelia in Drosophila. Firstly, enteroblast polarisation does not require any of the canonical epithelial polarity factors that have been identified in other tissues, and it depends instead on adhesion to the basement membrane, as is the case in mammalian epithelia (1).
Application Deadline: 26 November 2023

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in cancer
Summary of PhD Program:
Cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) are cells embedded in the tumour microenvironment (TME) along with immune and cancer cells. Recently, some CAF subsets have been associated with poor response to immunotherapy. This has led to the emergence of CAF as potential therapeutic targets, although limited understanding of CAF heterogeneity and lack of CAF-rich mouse models mimicking the human immune-suppressive TME has hampered the efforts to effectively target these cells. The aim of this project is to develop novel models that mimic the immunosuppressed microenvironment of solid tumours and to explore the impact of CAF heterogeneity in immunotherapy resistance.
Application Deadline: 19 November 2023

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Philosophy of Wellbeing Policy
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD studentship aims at making explicit the knowledge that exists among practitioners and in the less visible space of implementation of well-being policies and exploring its relevance for evidence-based policy. Using review of a variety of literatures as well as interviews with the staff of What Works Centre Wellbeing and cognate practitioners, this project seeks to reconstruct the methodology behind generation and deployment of wellbeing evidence as it travels between the academy and the practitioners. In addition to being a contribution to wellbeing practice, such a project trials an innovative approach to philosophy of science and applied epistemology more generally. How is localized knowledge relevant to specific practical contexts generated, preserved, and passed on? Does it have a philosophy of its own? Can recovering this knowledge help address deficits in evidence-based practices? In this way this project encourages and supports practice-based research at doctoral level.
Application Deadline: 5 December 2023

20. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
Modern compute platforms involve a high degree of centralisation, both in how computational resources are provided and how they are used. For example, a small number of large platform providers enable content delivery to the vast majority of readers, and state of the art scientific modelling uses large centralised high-performance computing facilities. These PhDs will study how to place intelligence in the network as one means to help support greater accountability by, e.g., enabling information accuracy to be validated and dissemination understood, and to improve the sustainability of such platforms by, e.g., moving compute nearer to data sources.
Application Deadline: 4 December 2023
21. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
The programme is structured as 0.5 + 3.5, and in the first 6 months students will undertake two 3 month rotations projects in different laboratories. These projects will be in different disciplinary areas related to your field of research, and will allow refinement of your PhD project in line with your emerging research interests as the programme progresses. Potential projects will be advertised on the DTP-MR website, and applicants can choose up to 3 projects of interest.

23. Fully Funded PhD Position in Interactions of non-covalent biologics at the single-molecule level
Summary of PhD Program:
Protein-protein interactions at high concentrations exhibit complex manifestations of molecular interactions, often forming heterogeneous and dynamic cross-reactions both at formulation and after injection. Identifying and quantifying these interactions with ensemble-based biophysical and bioanalytical methods is challenging due to poor sensitivity. These limitations lead to measurement challenges in assessing and predicting high-concentration formulation challenges such as aggregation, viscosity, and solubility in solution and dose delivery.
Application Deadline: 30 November 2023
24. Fully Funded PhD Position in Synthetic Organic Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual capable of thinking and working independently. Applicants must have (or expect to obtain) at least the equivalent of a UK upper second-class Masters degree in a relevant subject such as chemistry. Ideally, the candidate will have a strong background in organic chemistry. Practical experience of synthetic organic chemistry in a research environment would be beneficial.
Application Deadline: 5 December 2023
25. Fully Funded PhD Position in Role of Metabolic Disease in Alzheimers Disease
Summary of PhD Program:
The proposed project will clarify how metabolic disease mechanistically contributes to neurodegenerative disease by revealing: (a) how diet alters protein aggregation and the development of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), (b) which tissues are most susceptible, and, (c) which proteins show the most aggregation. The project fits into the theme of multimorbidity and organ-organ interactions.
