We have exciting opportunities for you to join us and study for your PhD, developing novel oligonucleotide (ON) analogues for medicinal applications. We are seeking 3 outstanding Doctoral Candidates (DCs) for a fully funded studentship as part of the prestigious Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network “OligoNucleotide Technologies for Rapid Advancement of Cancer Therapies ON-TRACT.” The studentship covers UK fees and provides a generous salary, consumables, and travel budget. ON-TRACT unites leading universities, hospitals, SMEs, and pharmaceutical companies across Europe. As a doctoral candidate, you will receive world-class interdisciplinary training, including academic, industry, and hospital placements, plus courses in cutting-edge science and transferable skills. Based in the School of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, you will research the design and evaluation of novel ON systems and analogue models for specific purposes: Post 1: Synthesis of building blocks for evolution of polymerases to revolutionize PCR-based technologies, enabling innovative cancer-targeted therapies. Post 2: Development of antisense oligonucleotides and conjugates for targeted inhaled delivery to lung tissue, addressing diseases such as lung cancer, asthma, and COPD. Post 3: Design of modified oligonucleotides to target IRES structures of oncogenic mRNAs, avoiding global translation inhibition and testing efficacy in organoid models. In order to be considered for these posts, please also complete the postgraduate application process for the desired post above. Responsibilities include defining research questions, conducting independent research, collaborating with ON-TRACT partners (including extended study periods abroad), engaging in training, and disseminating results in high-impact venues.
