PhD Student
PhD fellowship at the Interface of Systems Neuroscience and Cancer Biomechanics Research Full-time
Position Overview
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a strong interest in neuroscience, cancer research, and advanced microscopy. You will:
- Track cancer invasion in real-time using state-of-the-art in vivo two-photon microscopy in mice, and live-cell confocal microscopy using ex vivo 3D models.
- Genetically manipulate cancer cells using CRISPR/Cas9 to identify and target molecular mechanisms enabling invasion.
- Study how neuronal activity and brain anatomy influence cancer spread using advanced ex vivo 3D models.
- Collaborate closely with three other PhD students in a supportive, cross-disciplinary team.
The normal fixed term of appointment is four years including 25 per cent of other career-promoting work.
