  Developing and applying computational methods to understand the genetics of ageing
University of Liverpool Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease
  Dr JP de Magalhaes
Applications accepted all year round
Ageing is the chief biomedical challenge of the 21st century, yet it remains a major puzzle of biology. Although it is clear that the process of ageing has a strong genetic component, much work remains to elucidate how the genome regulates ageing.

  Statistical and Molecular Genetics of Complex Traits
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Prof Z Luo
Applications accepted all year round
Most characters of any living organism are polygenically controlled and environmentally modified, including those threatening human health and those important in breeding for high yield, better quality and improved adaption of animals, plants and microbes.
