Fully Funded PhD: Ikaros, Epigenetics & Immune Cells

University of Birmingham; Birmingham; Sur place; GBP 18 000 - 24 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

University of Birmingham invites applications for a 4-year PhD studentship in Cancer and Genomics Sciences. The project investigates transcription factor Ikaros interfaces with epigenetic coregulators to shape chromatin and gene networks in immune cell development, using in vivo zebrafish models.

Joint supervision by two faculty, with comprehensive training across biochemistry, molecular biology, proteomics and genomics within a funded research programme. UK/EU/International eligibility applies.

Qualifications

• First-class or upper second-class honours undergraduate degree.
• Master’s degree and/or relevant research experience in biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and bioinformatics.
• Proven research track record appropriate to career stage.
• Strong analytical ability and communication skills; enthusiasm for collaborative research.

Responsabilités

• Uncover molecular interfaces mediating TF-coregulator interactions.
• Dissect how Ikaros partners shape chromatin landscapes and gene regulatory networks.
• Train in biochemistry, molecular biology, proteomics, genomics and zebrafish model systems; contribute to Wellcome Trust-funded programme.
