Join Us!

We always welcome enquiries about joining the lab!


PhD Students

Various PhD studentships are available each year. These are awarded competitively within the Medical School and the Department of Biomedical Sciences as well as through other schemes. These are advertised on https://www.findaphd.com, in the scientific press or you can contact us directly. Please contact us if you have your own project ideas.

Post-Doctoral Research Fellows 

If you are interested in joining the group as a post-doc, we would normally expect you to apply for your own fellowship (for example, from the Wellcome Trust or National Institute of Health or EMBO).  We are always happy to hear from people who are interested in taking this route.  In addition, we occasionally have vacant post-doc positions available on existing grants.  These are advertised on www.jobs.ac.uk, in the scientific press or you can contact us directly.

Project Students and Internships

We occasionally take undergraduate and Masters-level students for research projects in the group. Please contact Dr. Johnston to express interest.
