Fully Funded PhD: Cardiac Positioning & Heart Development

University of East Anglia; Norwich; Sur place; GBP 21 000 - 27 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

University of East Anglia invites applications for a fully funded four-year PhD project within the Norwich Research Park Biosciences Doctoral Training Programme (NRPDTP). You will study how cardiac progenitors migrate during heart formation using live imaging, molecular genetics, and CRISPR/Cas9 approaches.

Join a collaborative supervisory team and gain skills in developmental biology, molecular genetics, live imaging/microscopy, and computational biology.

Qualifications

• At least UK equivalence Bachelors (Honours) 2:1.
• English Language requirement (IELTS 6.5 overall, 6 in each category).

Responsabilités

• Use live cell imaging to track migration of cardiac progenitor cells toward the heart field.
• Map perturbed migration trajectories after gene manipulation to understand effects on migration and fate decisions.
