2 Fully Funded PhD Studentships: The Emmott Lab is currently recruiting for two fully funded PhD studentships, set to commence in October 2024. As a dynamic research group established in 2019, we focus on investigating the replication and virus-host interactions of positive-sense RNA viruses, with a primary emphasis on norovirus and coronaviruses. We invite motivated candidates to join our cutting-edge research team and contribute to groundbreaking discoveries in the field.
Summary Table:
| Position | Start Date |
|---|---|
| PhD 1 | Oct 2024 |
| PhD 2 | Apr 2024 |
Study Area: Our research encompasses the study of viral mechanisms and virus-host interactions in positive-sense RNA viruses, specifically norovirus and coronaviruses.
Scholarship Description:
Join the Emmott Lab – 2 Fully Funded PhD Studentships Available
We offer two exciting PhD studentships:
- PhD Studentship 1: Expanding single-cell proteomics into single-cell multi-omics.
- Primary Supervisor: Dr. Ed Emmott
- Research Focus: Develop methods for expanding single-cell proteomics to include lipid analysis, aiming to analyze both proteins and lipids in single cells within the same LC-MS/MS run.
- PhD Studentship 2: The host interactome of the Rift Valley fever virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase: targets for inhibition of viral replication?
- Primary Supervisor: Dr. Alain Kohl
- Research Focus: Study the host protein interactome of the Rift Valley fever virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase to identify cellular partners and pathways crucial for its activity.
Eligibility: We welcome applications from candidates with a strong background in relevant scientific disciplines. A passion for virology, molecular biology, and a commitment to advancing scientific knowledge are essential.
Required Documents:
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- Academic transcripts
- Letter of motivation
- Two letters of recommendation
How to Apply: Interested candidates can visit our lab website here or contact Dr. Ed Emmott via email at e.emmott@Liverpool.ac.uk for more details on the application process.
Last Date: The deadline for submitting applications is 29 April 2024.
