📢 PhD opportunity in our research group at Cardiff University
We are recruiting a PhD student for an exciting interdisciplinary project:
“From Risk Genes to Biomarkers in Schizophrenia: Striatal–Immune Signatures for Patient Stratification”
The project will investigate how genetic risk for schizophrenia translates into cell-type-specific changes in striatal and neuroimmune systems. It combines statistical genetics, single-cell data, UK Biobank analyses and experimental validation using CRISPR-based approaches and stem-cell models.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This opportunity would suit candidates with a background in biomedical science, biochemistry, cell biology or a related discipline who are interested in psychiatric genetics, neuroscience, immunology and translational research. Previous research experience is not essential.
