  Neural basis underlying mating decisions in fruit flies
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Dr C Rezaval
Applications accepted all year round
Mate choice is an essential behavioural process with profound consequences in evolution. How do animals choose with whom to mate? How do they evaluate the features of a potential mate to maximise their reproductive success?.

  Development of an invertebrate model of alternating hemiplegia of childhood
University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: School of Biomedical Sciences
  Dr S Clapcote, Dr A Bretman, Prof R E Isaac, Dr D I Lewis

  Control of tissue growth and cancer by the Hippo pathway
Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre Sir Peter MacCallum Department of Oncology, University of Melbourne
  Dr K. Harvey, Dr C Poon
Applications accepted all year round
A new frontier in biomedical research will involve watching individual proteins work in real time, in living organs. Traditionally, researchers have drawn conclusions about gene function using indirect techniques that only allow us to infer what a gene normally does, without actually watching it work.

  Research Group: BBSRC MIBTP
  Dr C Rezaval
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
Animals engage in daily activities that are essential for survival and reproduction, such as feeding, mating or fighting for resources.

  Stressed! How do animals cope with what life throws at them?
University of Leeds Faculty of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: School of Biology
  Dr A Bretman, Dr E.J.. Duncan, Dr S M Sait
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Animals face many environmental stresses, and this is only likely to get worse as we face an era of rapid climate change. This brings into sharp focus the need to understand what the responses to stressors are and what molecular mechanisms underpin the strategies animals use to cope with stress.
