We are offering three PhDs that are extremely different from each other. Whether you care about developing new tools, saving the natural world, or letting your curiosity run wild, we've got a project for you!
1. Method development: Use novel autoML techniques to enhance gene network inference in single cell datasets. Opportunities to develop really innovative technologies with wide applications!
2. Impactful outputs: Work directly with an environmental charity to understand how a culturally-important wildflower will respond to climate change; conduct bioinformatics analysis of transcriptomic data, analyse sensor data, and learn how to conduct fieldwork in beautiful natural scenery.
3. Butterfly patterns: Use spatial transcriptomics to uncover the mechanisms of butterfly wing patterning.
These will take place in the University of York, UK, which is a beautiful historic city. Our lab is a real mix of mathematicians, computer scientists, molecular biologists, horticulturalists, and ecologists. We welcome individuals with non-traditional career paths.
Look for the projects supervised by 'Ezer'. Projects 1 and 3 can be signed up for here via the Yorkshire Bioscience PhD programme: https://www.whiterose-mechanisticbiology-dtp.ac.uk/yorkshire-bioscience-dtp/ and project 2 will soon be available here via the Adapting to the Challenges of a Changing Environment PhD Programme: https://accedtp.ac.uk/acce-doctoral-landscape-award/
