We are seeking a talented and motivated PhD student with a passion for bioinformatics to join our research team on a project funded by the prestigious SMF Grand Challenge Grant. This project is led by Dr. Ildem Akerman (https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/metabolism-systems/akerman-ildem ) and will involve collaboration with Prof. David Hodson’s team at University of Oxford.
The Akerman Lab focuses on generating stem cell-derived beta cells (SC-islets) for use in cell replacement therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D). This project will involve the analysis of genomics data from SC-islets, aiming to improve our understanding of their function, identity, and suitability for transplantation. The successful candidate will work with transcriptomic and epigenomic datasets to investigate gene regulatory networks and optimize differentiation protocols.
The ideal candidate will have a first or upper second-class degree in a relevant scientific discipline. While a Master’s degree in bioinformatics is not required, it will be considered an advantage.
