Postdoctoral applications

We have a funded postdoctoral position now available and please e-mail Mark to discuss. We are also keen to sponsor

candidates, either with PhDs or coming to the end of their PhD, to apply for postdoctoral fellowship awards, including Marie

Curie and EMBO fellowships. Get in contact as early as you can, because this process always takes a while. The lab and

University run a range of events to support postdoctoral fellows and promote their careers, including: Postdoc Academy,

Postdocs of Cambridge Society and Entrepreneurial Postdocs of Cambridge with social events, training sessions (idea

development, leadership, grant writing, managing scientists), and connecting to career opportunities. The lab provides

support for all members to develop their skills in novel experimental methods, entrepreneurship/biotech, and also

bioinformatic skills, even for those without previous computational experience, including the latest AI/machine learning

resources for protein design.

Potential Doctoral students

We are looking to welcome new Doctoral students into the lab. There are various 3 year or 4 year fully funded doctoral

programmes for students at Cambridge, including Cambridge Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership, Gates Cambridge

Scholarships for international students, and scholarships for students with specific nationalities. We have been awarded

funding for one studentship that includes industry collaboration to start in Oct 2025. Deadlines are early, so get in contact

with Mark asap.

Students are welcome from a range of backgrounds. Each student will be given a project suitable for their skills and fully

supported as they learn skills in new areas, via training within the lab and through short training courses in the Department

and University. The lab provides support for all members to develop their wetlab and bioinformatic expertise, even for those

without previous computational experience, including exciting new AI/machine learning resources for protein design.

When you fill in the University application, you are free to apply to any college you would like. The lab is not able to host

MPhil students.

Undergraduate students

Part II students:

We look forward to taking 2 Part II students for Pharmacology practical research projects. Each undergraduate has their own

project, with close day-to-day support by a member of the lab, along with scope for creativity and important findings.

Undergraduate students have been authors on several of the group’s recent papers and patents.

Summer vacation students:

Unfortunately we are not able to support students on the Amgen program.
