PhD Position: Multi-Omics Characterisation of stem cell models Corneal Regeneration; MSCA S

Overview

Are you passionate about working with stem cells or stem cell-based biomaterials? And eager to explore cutting‑edge technologies like genome editing and in vivo imaging? Or are you perhaps fascinated by eye research and do you have an affinity for molecular, cellular and medical science? If so, come and join our STEM‑CORE project and become one of the 14 doctoral candidates recruited from 9 European countries.

STEM‑CORE, supported by the Marie Skłodowska‑Curie Actions (MSCA) programme, aims to explore strategies to develop stem cell therapies and biomaterials, laying the groundwork for future cures to restore eyesight. As one of the doctoral candidates in STEM‑CORE, you will receive comprehensive training to become a leading expert in regenerative medicine of the eye through interdisciplinary, intersect oral and international research. Additionally, you will develop valuable transferable and soft skills such as management, leadership and communication, positioning you for enhanced career opportunities and empowering you to make a meaningful impact on society.

For details of STEM‑CORE, please visit our website.

In the laboratory of Jo Huiqing Zhou, the coordinator of STEM‑CORE, you will characterise stem cells and stem cell‑derived tissue models for corneal regeneration through state‑of‑the‑art (single‑cell) multi‑omics analysis. You will collaborate with other doctoral candidates in STEM‑CORE through joint projects, secondments and network training activities. Your teaching load may be up to 10% of your working time. You will also have opportunities to develop your teaching skills.
