PhD Studentship: Nanoscale T Cell Synapse Architecture

The University of Manchester; Manchester; Presencial; GBP 21.000 - 25.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

The University of Manchester invites applications for a 4-year PhD studentship exploring how nanoscale spatial organisation of immune cues shapes T cell signalling. The project blends synthetic antigen-presenting cells with advanced nanoscale mapping technologies and will use super-resolution imaging to map synapse architectures.

Start planned for September 2027, with UKRI stipend and grant support. Open to Home (UK) and international applicants, with an annual stipend of £21,805 plus £1,000

Formación

• Open to Home (UK) and international applicants.

Responsabilidades

• Understand immun signalling mechanisms and how nanoscale spatial organisation affects T cell responses.
• Develop and apply synthetic antigen-presenting cell platforms with nanoscale molecular mapping to generate detailed synapse maps.
• Use super-resolution imaging and proximity-labelling to study how extracellular cues translate to intracellular signalling outcomes.
