  mRNA epigenetics: Charaterization of a novel layer of gene regulation for essential brain functions
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Research Group: BBSRC MIBTP
  Dr M Soller, Dr PG Grzechnik
Applications accepted all year round
For over 40 years we know about modified nucleotides in mRNA, but the functions for these essential modifications are largely elusive.

  BBSRC MIBTP - Identification of pathways deregulating neuronal ELAV/Hu RNA binding proteins and alternative splicing in neurodegeneration
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Research Group: BBSRC MIBTP
  Dr M Soller, Dr M Tomlinson
Applications accepted all year round
ELAV/Hu proteins comprise a family of highly conserved neuronal RNA binding proteins important for the development of the nervous system and for neuronal functions.

  Epitranscriptomic mechanisms in the maternal to zygotic transition of vertebrate embryos
University of Birmingham School of Biosciences
  Dr M Soller, Prof F Mueller
Applications accepted all year round
Most mRNAs contain modified nucleotides in mRNA, but we know very little about their function (Haussmann et al, 2016, Dezi et al, 2016, Roignant and Soller, 2017).

  Dynamic interplay of cell shape and tumour evolution
University of Birmingham School of Mathematics
  Dr F Spill, Prof I Tomlinson
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Tumour cells are long known to appear in vastly diverse shapes, both across patients and within a single tumour. This is in stark contrast to the regularity of cell shapes of healthy epithelial tissues from which most tumours originate.

  Mathematical Modelling of Cancer-Cell Transmigration Through Blood Vessels
University of Birmingham School of Mathematics
  Dr F Spill
Application Deadline: 31 January 2019
Cancer rarely kills through the primary tumour in which cancer arises, e.g. the prostate in prostate cancer. Instead, cancer cells may travel through the vasculature and colonialize distant organs – a process termed metastasis.

  Cancer Research UK funded 4 year studentship: Targeting the 3q amplification
University of Birmingham Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences
  Prof JR Morris, Prof H Mehanna
Application Deadline: 15 February 2019
Applications are invited for a non-clinical PhD studentship at the Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Birmingham Centre.
Details
Type/Funding
  Cancer Research UK funded 4 year studentship: RNA Pol II subunits in the regulation of transcription and genome instability
University of Birmingham Institute of Cancer and Genomic Sciences
  Dr M Saponaro, Dr A Gambus
Application Deadline: 15 February 2019
Applications are invited for a non-clinical PhD studentship at the Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Birmingham Centre.
Details
Type/Funding
  Determining the translational potential of the highly phosphorylated proto-oncogene PBF
University of Birmingham Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research
  Dr V Smith
Applications accepted all year round
In order to translate the many molecular alterations now detectable in human tumours into effective clinical management we need to fully understand their impact on tumour biology.
Details
Type/Funding
  Promoting positive parenting: Evaluating the impact of ‘kitbag’ tools and strategies to promote maternal and child mental health in diverse settings.
University of Birmingham School of Nursing
  Dr M Clark
Applications accepted all year round
Applications are invited for a 3-year full time or 5 year part time /self-funded PhD Studentship starting February 2019. Maternal and child mental health is a global public health priority (WHO 2013, WHO 2018).
Details
Type/Funding
  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.
