Applications are invited for 4-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge and the new AstraZeneca Discovery Centre at Cambridge. The student will be working on a collaborative project jointly supervised by Dr. Naomi McGovern at the Department of Pathology, and Dr. Elina Timosenko and Dr. Tim Slidel at AstraZeneca and will work across the two sites. The project, entitled "The role of macrophages in endometrial carcinoma" is in the fields of immunology, oncology and bioinformatics that have generated much excitement in both academia and industry.

Project abstract

Endometrial cancer is common, accounting for ~3% of all cancers in the UK (2016-2018). Its precursor is endometrial hyperplasia where the glands expand and the stroma is enriched with macrophages. As the glands continue to grow, they become more crowded with atypical cells, the intervening stroma is compressed, and foamy macrophages appear.

In other cancers, macrophages in the tumour microenvironment influence its progression and metastatic potential. Little is known about the role of macrophages in the progression from normal endometrium to endometrial hyperplasia and then endometrial cancer.

Through this studentship the role of macrophages in endometrial cancer will be explored using a range of cutting-edge techniques including single cell RNA sequencing, confocal microscopy and in vitro functional assays. This project will utilise both dry and wet lab skills.

We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual capable of thinking and working independently. As a large component of the project will involve transcriptomic data analysis, the applicant must be keen to develop bioinformatic skills. Applicants should have or shortly expect to obtain a first or upper second-class degree from a UK university, or an equivalent standard from an overseas university, in a relevant subject such as immunology, bioinformatics and/or oncology. These positions are open to UK citizens or overseas students who meet the UK residency requirements (home fees) or are able to augment the funds to cover the extra costs associated with international student fees through scholarships or funding schemes. University's entrance requirements and scholarships are specified here : https://www.postgraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/

Full funding covering Maintenance fees at £21,500 per annum and the University Composition Fee is provided for the studentship, with effect from 1 October 2024.

Applications should include academic transcripts, CV, statement of purpose and 2 references.

Interviews will likely be held on the 16-20th of October.

As a graduate student at Cambridge, you will have access to a wide range of training opportunities and benefit from close supervision provided by a primary and secondary PhD supervisor as well as a personal mentor.

During their PhD, there is no taught or examined coursework, but students are encouraged to attend the wide variety of lectures and training courses available to them across the Institute and wider University. This includes a centrally run Statistics course and the University Core Skills Training Programme, which includes sessions on Time Management, Presentation and Performance and Scientific Writing. Students at the Institute will be members of the University's Postgraduate School of Life Sciences (PSLS) who offer a wide variety of core skills and professional development training. Visit the Researcher Development page here; https://www.postgradschl.lifesci.cam.ac.uk/GSLSRD website for more information.

The University of Cambridge wishes to appoint a post-doctoral scientist to join the research group of Professor Heike Laman in the Department of Pathology. We are searching for a highly motivated scientist to investigate ubiquitin biology and its role in sperm morphogenesis with the ultimate aim of understanding and treating male infertility.

Infertility is a common and complex medical issue affecting an estimated 1 in 7 couples worldwide, with male infertility contributing to about half of these cases. In 10-15% of infertile males, there is a complete absence of sperm production, and a high proportion of these cases are due to genetic abnormalities causing a maturation arrest in germ cell development. For these patients, prognosis is poor. We identified a mouse with a maturation arrest, in which males deficient for the Fbxo7 ubiquitin ligase, show a complete loss of developing germ cells during cellular remodelling. This unprecedented sterility phenotype in mice provides us a unique opportunity to study a precise stage where there is profound a morphological transformation, from a round cell to a mature sperm with a compacted head and a flagellum. Key project goals are to create mouse models with cell type-specific deletions of Fbxo7 to assess their phenotypes and to use proteomics approaches to investigate their ubiquitin profiles, proteasome functions and advanced imaging technologies, like volumetric EM, to understand the cause of this failure to transform morphology.

Candidates will have (or be about to be awarded) a PhD in biological sciences, and a track record of related research achievements. Knowledge of ubiquitin biology and/or spermatogenesis are highly desirable. We seek collegiate applicants who are committed to fostering a positive and inclusive research culture.

The Department of Pathology is a very active research and teaching department in the School of Biological Sciences. We offer modern laboratory spaces, flow cytometry, imaging, histology, proteomics and sequencing facilities in the centre of Cambridge.

We wish to recruit a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Scientist to join the laboratory of Dr Colin Crump within the Division of Virology at the Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge (https://www.path.cam.ac.uk/research/virology-division/crump-group).

BK polyomavirus establishes persistent infections within the kidneys of most people, causing little-to-no disease in the majority of cases. However, BK polyomavirus infection can cause polyomavirus-associated nephropathy (PVAN) a leading cause of irreversible loss of transplanted kidneys. Unfortunately, there are currently very limited options for treating BK polyomavirus infections in kidney transplant patients. The laboratory uses a broad range of molecular and cellular virology approaches to understand how viruses such as BK polyomavirus interact with and modify cellular machinery to establish virus infection and promote virus spread between cells, with the aim to identify targets for therapeutic intervention.

We have recently conducted genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screens and discovered several druggable host factors that are necessary for BK polyomavirus infection. Small molecule inhibitors to some of the identified targets have been recently develop by pharmaceutical companies for other diseases that we have shown inhibit BK polyomavirus infection in renal epithelial cell, providing exciting opportunities for development of novel therapeutic strategies to treat diseases caused by BK polyomavirus. This research will develop state-of-the-art organoid models of human kidney tubules, the natural site of BK polyomavirus infection, to investigate virus replication and intervention strategies in the most authentic laboratory-based models for this human virus possible. You will contribute to advancing the fundamental understanding of BK polyomavirus infections and methods to reduce the disease burden caused by this virus.

The successful applicant will join a collaborative and inclusive team of researchers. You will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and gain experience of cutting-edge experimental approaches in molecular and cellular virology, organoid technology, microfluidics-based tissue culture systems, and advanced microscopy. The successful applicant will benefit from the dynamic, collaborative, and supportive environment of the laboratory, the Virology Division, the wider Department of Pathology and the large infection and immunity research community across Cambridge. The project will also benefit from collaboration with UK and overseas colleagues, bringing together leading scientific and technical expertise in BK polyomavirus biology, kidney organoid systems, and microscopy. Due to the supportive nature of the laboratory enthusiastic candidates will have the opportunity to learn additional techniques and expand their research skills. Furthermore, we encourage creative thinking when tackling scientific problems and are keen for lab members to adopt new technologies and approaches when appropriate.

The ideal candidate will be highly motivated, independent, and enthusiastic, with a track record of successful research in virology, cell biology, or a related field, commensurate with career stage. Experience with working at containment level 2, cellular and molecular virology techniques, and fluorescence microscopy are desirable. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to work independently as well as part of a team and a willingness to learn new skills are essential.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 2 years in the first instance.

Once an offer of employment has been accepted, the successful candidate will be required to undergo a health assessment.

Herpesviruses are ubiquitous viral pathogens that establish life-long latent infections within their hosts, with periodic reactivation events that lead to shedding of infectious viruses and spread to new hosts. Herpesviruses are associated with many serious diseases in humans and animals including life-threating conditions in people with weakened immune systems. The laboratory uses a broad range of molecular and cellular virology approaches to understand how viruses interact with, modify, and antagonise cellular machinery to evade antiviral mechanisms and promote virus replication and spread.

We have recently discovered a novel viral protein complex expressed by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) that targets many host proteins for degradation, particularly cellular factors involved in antiviral responses within the nucleus. This research will investigate the molecular mechanisms by which this viral protein complex remodels the cellular proteome to promote herpesvirus infection. You will contribute to advancing the fundamental understanding of virus-host interactions, antiviral pathways, and mechanisms by which viruses antagonise intracellular cellular defences.

The successful applicant will join a collaborative and inclusive team of researchers within the Division of Virology laboratories on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, the largest center of medical research and health science in Europe. You will have access to state-of-the-art facilities and gain experience of cutting-edge experimental approaches in molecular and cellular virology including advanced microscopy, protein-protein interaction screens, quantitative mass spectrometry, next generation sequencing, CRISPR/Cas9 genetic engineering and working with iPSC cell lines. The successful applicant will benefit from the dynamic, collaborative, and supportive environment of the laboratory, the Virology Division, the wider Department of Pathology and the large infection and immunity research community across Cambridge. The project will also benefit from close collaboration with the groups of Prof. Stephen Graham and Prof. Mike Weekes within Cambridge, and Dr Anna Cliffe at University of Virginia, bringing together leading scientific and technical expertise in cell biology, structural virology, advanced proteomics, and herpesvirus latency. Due to the supportive nature of the laboratory enthusiastic candidates will have the opportunity to learn additional techniques and expand their research skills. Furthermore, we encourage creative thinking when tackling scientific problems and are keen for lab members to adopt new technologies and approaches when appropriate. This project will provide the opportunity for research visits to University of Virginia, USA.
