There are currently no positions available until 2027.
We intermittently have research projects available for motivated students. Some current opportunities are listed below, and we also occasionally have capacity for additional wet lab and computational projects. If you are interested in joining the lab, please feel free to get in touch.
What we’re looking for:
We are looking for a full time student who can commit for at least 6 to 9 months. We are particularly interested in Master’s students who are highly motivated, eager to learn, and excited to contribute meaningfully to our research. We value students who are ready to fully engage in both their project and the broader activities of the lab.
Application process:
Please send your CV and a cover letter describing your research interests and motivation to Ashley ([email protected]).
Projects
#1 – Generation of an in vitro spinal cord muscle axis
The spinal cord is a central hub of the peripheral nervous system, innervating muscles and relaying signals from the brain. We aim to build a connected spine muscle axis using organoid based systems. The student will optimise protocols for generating human muscle tissue and neuromuscular junction organoids on a microfluidic chip together with spinal cord organoids. This model will allow us to study the plasticity and fragility of the connection between these tissues.
Relevant skills: prior experience with mammalian cell culture is a strong advantage, although experience in 2D culture is sufficient.
At this time, we are not actively recruiting new Ph.D. students.
There are currently no Postdoc positions available.
