PhD Studentship - Investigating the impact of hypertension on arthritis induced pain and pathology
Scholarship value. Funding includes UKRI standard stipend, 100% of UK/home rate tuition fees and extra support for research training and research costs (£1,000 a year). Read more
Adults with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): the impact of a long-term chronic disease on ongoing arthritis, quality of life, and mental health
Understanding how juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), the most common chronic inflammatory musculoskeletal disease in children and young people, affects later adult-life has been prioritised by individuals living with JIA/families, European arthritis organisations, and charities. Read more
Impact of sex steroid metabolism and action on immune function in rheumatoid arthritis
This PhD opportunity will focus on the role of sex steroids (androgens and oestrogens) on the immune function in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Read more
Adverse Events to Methotrexate in Inflammatory Arthritis: Does Age Matter?
A consistent top-5 research priority for both children and adults with inflammatory arthritis is the tailoring of treatments to prevent or lessen adverse events. Read more
Using statistical and functional analysis to investigate the contrasting disease specific roles of IL6R and the chr17q12 locus in the development of rheumatoid arthritis and asthma
The Arthritis Research UK and Respiratory Centres at the University of Manchester have extensive research programmes investigating the genetic components of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and asthma. Read more
Pathogenic roles of B cells in Rheumatoid Arthritis
We are seeking a talented and motivated PhD student to join our research programme at the interface between fundamental immunology and clinical rheumatology. Read more
Immune-stromal cell interactions in inlfammatory arthritis
Please note. Although the following PhD student and RA positions have now been filled, we welcome applicants with sholarschips or suitable applicants that would like to apply for Irish Research Council, or Marie Skłodowska-Curie studentships to contact the trnaslational immunology lab at achilleas.floudas@dcu.ie.

Exploring the transcriptomic and chromatin landscapes of fibroblast-like synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthritis
Genetic studies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been successful in identifying regions of the genome which contribute to disease risk, but it is often unclear which genes they effect. Read more
Functional dissection of disease associated genetic loci in rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common chronic inflammatory disease characterized by inflammation of the joints and has a high socioeconomic burden. Read more
Predicting response to IL6 inhibition in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition in which inflammation of synovial joints can lead to progressive destruction of joints and eventual disability if the inflammation is not controlled. Read more
Cross-tissue and cross-disease immunometabolic landscape characterisation at single-cell resolution
Commercial partner: Janssen Biotech, Inc. Immune cells play a fundamental role in health and disease, with many of their functions relying on the careful orchestration of metabolic and energetic pathways. Read more
Identification and modification of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying unsuccessful knee replacements for osteoarthritis (NDORMS 2024/11)
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting 5.4 million people in the UK. It is characterised by loss of cartilage and inflammation and fibrosis of the synovial tissue that surrounds the joint. Read more
Improving access to work for people with Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases
Over recent years, the Centre for Human Movement and Rehabilitation (CHMR) has received extensive investment allowing us to develop world-class research facilities for PhD study. Read more
Transferability of genetic risk scores for complex human diseases across diverse population groups
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been extremely successful in identifying DNA variants that are associated with a wide range of complex human traits and common diseases. Read more
The Survivin Interactome in Health and Disease
Survivin is a small protein that is essential for life but that also contributes to disease, most notably cancer, in which its abnormal overexpression is linked to therapeutic resistance and metastasis. Read more
