About the project

The project combines patient-derived mammary organoids, high-resolution 3D/4D imaging, single-cell transcriptomics and AI-driven analysis and modelling to uncover mechanisms governing epithelial morphogenesis. At its core is a fundamental question: how do polarised cell divisions coordinate luminogenesis with cell fate and differentiation to build and maintain functional epithelial architecture? By addressing this question in physiologically relevant human models, the project aims to define how these mechanisms safeguard epithelial integrity and how their disruption leads to abnormal tissue organisation.

You will take a central role in the scientific development of this ambitious programme, including experimental design, data analysis and interpretation. You will use patient-derived human mammary organoids and gene loss-of-function approaches, together with high-resolution 3D/4D fluorescence imaging, fate mapping, advanced quantitative analysis, and single-cell RNA sequencing, to connect molecular and cellular mechanisms with cell fate and tissue architecture.

A major strength of the project is the integration of experimental and computational biology. Working with computational researchers, you will integrate multimodal imaging and transcriptomic data into AI-driven mechanistic and predictive models to determine how changes at the level of individual cells influence tissue-level organisation and function.

About you

You will have a PhD, or be close to completing one, in cell biology, developmental biology, stem cell biology or a related discipline.

You will have strong experimental experience across several relevant areas of cell and developmental biology, which may include organoid or mammalian cell culture, epithelial biology, high-resolution fluorescence microscopy and molecular biology. Experience in advanced automated or semi-automated quantitative image analysis would be particularly valuable. An understanding of computational or mathematical modelling would be advantageous, but is not essential.

You will be a creative and collaborative scientist with a proactive, analytical approach and enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research. You should be able to plan and conduct rigorous experiments, interpret data, troubleshoot methods and communicate findings clearly.

Alongside leading the experimental research, you will contribute scientific ideas and interpretation, support collaborative projects, help develop grant proposals, prepare research for publication in international peer-reviewed journals, train colleagues in new methods and advise on scientific protocols. You will bring excellent interpersonal skills and work constructively with colleagues and collaborators across disciplines.

What we offer

You will join a collaborative, multidisciplinary and supportive research environment bringing together expertise in mammary biology, organoids, advanced imaging, single-cell biology, AI and computational modelling. You will have access to state-of-the-art microscopy, flow-cytometry and high-performance computing facilities, multidisciplinary training and career-development opportunities.

The University of Southampton offers a range of benefits, including a generous holiday allowance and additional University closure days. We support flexible working and a healthy work–life balance, alongside access to the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS), subsidised health and fitness facilities and a range of staff discounts.

This post is funded through an ERC-selected Starting Grant to Dr David Evans (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/people/62c7dp/doctor-david-evans) but additionally involves a number of researchers from within the School and is closely linked to a growing team at the University of Southampton focused on driving forward the societal impact of palaeoclimate datasets by mechanistically understanding biomineralisation processes and boundary condition changes, funded via both the Royal Society and Dr Evans’ ERC-selected Starting Grant.

Our group’s research focuses in part on the use of biomineral geochemistry to infer ion transport processes during calcification, because the (trace) metal composition of the shell or skeleton must be controlled by the composition of the fluid at the site of calcification and the way in which ions are transported in and out of this enclosed space. However, it is increasingly recognised that most biominerals are formed via an amorphous or metastable precursor phase, which may impart an additional fractionation and complicate the interpretation of biomineral metal chemistry, yet the geochemical details of this process are poorly understood.

In this project, the applicant will address this knowledge gap via the experimental formation and characterisation of amorphous and crystalline materials under a wide range of conditions, including in situ techniques in collaboration with colleagues in the Institute of Life Sciences and utilising the School’s state of the art cryo-electron microscopy facility. Ultimately, the goal is to determine whether inorganic processes alone might be sufficient to explain the shell chemistry of calcifying marine organisms, and to build these findings into a geochemical biomineralisation model.

A successful candidate should have:

• A PhD (or equivalent) in geochemistry.
• Experience in the operation of single and/or multi-collector plasma mass spectrometer instruments, ideally including associated clean laboratory sample preparation.
• Experience in applying geochemical tools to constraining past environmental, oceanographic, or climatic change.
• Experience in geochemical box modelling, or an enthusiasm for developing these skills.
• Skills in hypothesis-testing, experiment design, analysis of data sets and writing scientific manuscripts and reports.

And should additionally:

• Demonstrate strong drive, ambition and motivation, with the capacity to deliver on challenging tasks and to meet deadlines both individually and as working as part of a team.
• Express a desire to apply cutting edge geochemical techniques to understanding marine biomineralisation.

This post is a fixed-term appointment for two years.

For further enquiries please contact Dr David Evans (d.evans@soton.ac.uk)

Motivation: Understanding how the seafloor evolves is critical for environmental monitoring and subsea infrastructure inspection. Natural processes and human activities drive changes over time, yet detecting these reliably remains challenging. Improved methods could enable early identification of risks to ecosystems and infrastructure, while providing quantitative evidence to support effective intervention and adaptive management.

Challenges: Documenting change in GNSS-denied subsea environments presents significant challenges. While changes occur over large spatial scales, change is often gradual, meaning that between seasonal or yearly deployments, the magnitude of change at any point on the seafloor remains below to the detection limit of even high-resolution mapping sensors. In addition, recognising and aligning scenes across repeated surveys is difficult due to navigation drift, evolving scene structure, and sensitivity to environmental conditions.

Research questions:

• How can evolving seafloor scenes be consistently recognised and spatially aligned across repeated subsea surveys in GNSS-denied environments?
• How can small seafloor changes be reliably detected when they are comparable to sensor noise?
• How can full-field uncertainty be modelled and propagated to support large-scale change analysis?

Approach: You will combine advanced robotic localisation and high-resolution mapping methods with advanced machine learning feature detection to enable evolving subsea scenes to be robustly aligned across repeat surveys. You will develop probabilistic models to detect subtle changes under noise and uncertainty. Your work will be validated using simulation, existing datasets from the University of Southampton’s Smarty200 AUV, and new data collected during field campaigns with the Ocean Perception group. Controlled experiments will also be conducted in the Maritime Robotics and Instrumentation Laboratory and its dedicated 8x8x6m deep-water tank.

Training and Environment: You will be part of the EU-funded BlueOcean Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network, working alongside 13 PhD researchers across leading European institutions. The programme provides interdisciplinary training in robotics, sensing, and AI for marine monitoring, as well as access to internationally recognised experts and industry partners. You will also undertake up to two three-month secondments with organisations including CNR (Italy) and Voyis Imaging (Canada).

Eligibility:

This PhD is funded via the European Commission. Recruitment is taking place following the European Code of Conduct for Recruitment of Researchers.

The School of Engineering is committed to promoting equality, diversity inclusivity as demonstrated by our Athena SWAN award. We welcome all applicants regardless of their gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or age, and will give full consideration to applicants seeking flexible working patterns and those who have taken a career break.
