  Dynamic changes in the RNA-protein interactome during stress, development and disease
University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
  Prof D Tollervey, Dr T Ly
Application Deadline: 13 December 2018
Functional interactions between RNAs and proteins underpin gene expression and defects in RNA-protein interactions form the basis of numerous human diseases.

  Structural and Functional Characterisation of TRIM25-RNA Complex
University of Edinburgh College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine
  Research Group: Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
  Dr G Michlewski, Dr A Cook
Application Deadline: 1 February 2019
RNA viruses continue causing devastating epidemics and pandemics in the 21st century. For example, influenza A virus kills 250,000 to 500,000 people annually and generates huge socioeconomic burden.

  Deconvolution of Malaria bulk dual-RNA-SEQ with single cell RNA-SEQ
University of Glasgow College of Medicine, Veterinary and Life Sciences
  Dr T Otto, Dr M Gupta
Application Deadline: 11 January 2019
Malaria is responsible for over 400,000 deaths yearly. Through transcriptomics studies it is possible to study host-parasite interaction (dual RNA-Seq).

  BBSRC MIBTP: Roles of transcriptional factors in RNA:DNA hybrids formation
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Research Group: BBSRC MIBTP
  Dr PG Grzechnik, Dr Aditi Kanhere
Application Deadline: 6 January 2019
Position for a PhD student is available in the group of Dr Pawel Grzechnik at the University of Birmingham. The aim of the project is to uncover novel roles for transcriptional factors and to investigate how mRNA 3’ end maturation alters gene expression in human cells.

  Identification and characterization of RNA binding proteins at the centromere
University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
  Dr P. Heun, Dr T Ly
Application Deadline: 13 December 2018
The centromere is a unique chromatin domain important for proper segregation of chromosomes during mitosis.
Details
Type/Funding
  The sRNA interactome of Bacillus subtilis
University of Bath Department of Biology & Biochemistry
  Dr E Denham, Dr L A Cowley
Application Deadline: 16 December 2018
The identification of non-coding RNA transcripts from Next-Generation Sequencing projects has highlighted the importance of post-transcriptional regulation in bacterial survival.

  MRC Precision Medicine DTP:A massive attack on how messenger RNA sequence specifies condition-dependent RNA fate
University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
  Dr E Wallace, Dr V Pelechano, Dr G Sanguinetti, Dr C French
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Background. All organisms must respond to changes in their environment. Fungi detect and adapt to stressful environmental changes by reorganizing their messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein.
Details
Type/Funding
  The role of the RNA Polymerase II CTD kinases in regulation of transcription, RNA processing and the cell cycle.
University of Oxford Sir William Dunn School of Pathology
  Prof S Murphy
Application Deadline: 11 January 2019
The multiple Tyr1Ser2Pro3Thr4Ser5Pro6Ser7 repeats within the carboxyl-terminal domain (CTD) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II (pol II) undergo reversible phosphorylation during transcription of human protein-coding genes1.

  How fungi manage stress: the role of RNA binding proteins in post-transcriptional adaptations to heat shock
University of Edinburgh School of Biological Sciences
  Research Group: Institute of Cell Biology
  Dr E Wallace, Dr A Cook
Application Deadline: 13 December 2018
Fungal pathogens are a major worldwide health burden, killing more people each year than malaria or tuberculosis. However, fungal pathogenesis and, in particular, how fungi adapt to human hosts at the start of infection, is poorly understood.

  Roles of RNA-binding proteins in subcellular RNA localization and translation in neurons
Max Delbrueck Centrum for Molecular Medicine Medical Systems Biology
  Dr M Chekulaeva
Applications accepted all year round
The subcellular localization and translation of mRNAs are fundamental biological processes. They underlie establishment of body axis, cell growth, cell migration, and synaptic plasticity, which serves as a foundations of learning and memory.
