The University of Bern is offering a PhD position in the multicenter project PRECISE-MDD , investigating precision treatment selection in major depressive disorder. The study is a triple-blind randomized controlled trial examining whether EEG- and ECG-based biomarkers can predict the therapeutic effects of antidepressants, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, ketamine and electroconvulsive therapy in patients with unipolar depression. At the Bern study center, the doctoral researcher wi...

The Kim Laboratory at EPFL is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to study how neuronal activity and the physical tumor microenvironment cooperate to drive brain cancer progression. The project focuses on the mechanochemical dialogue between the nervous system and glioma cells. Building on recent work from the group showing that neuron-derived neuroligin-3 engages CSPG4, increases membrane tension, and activates the mechanosensitive ion channel PIEZO1, the successful candidate will investigate ...

About this position

The University of Zurich is offering a fully funded PhD position at the Spinal Cord Injury Center of University Hospital Balgrist. The project, “Enhancing reticulospinal plasticity through paired stimulation to promote functional recovery after incomplete spinal cord injury,” focuses on developing innovative neurorehabilitation strategies for people with incomplete spinal cord injury.

The research examines the reticulospinal pathway, an important neural system involved in motor recovery after spinal cord injury. The project will develop and evaluate paired stimulation approaches designed to enhance reticulospinal plasticity and improve functional recovery. Research will combine advanced neurophysiological methods, including transcranial magnetic stimulation, peripheral electrical stimulation, and the StartReact paradigm.

The PhD researcher will investigate reticulospinal plasticity in both healthy individuals and patients with incomplete spinal cord injury. The work includes experimental studies and clinical trials conducted at Balgrist University Hospital in Zurich and Swiss Paraplegic Research in Nottwil. The position is associated with the research group led by Linard Filli and offers a clinical and translational research environment connecting neuroscience, neurophysiology, spinal cord injury medicine, and rehabilitation.

The project is supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation and aims to contribute to new stimulation-based approaches for improving motor recovery after spinal cord injury.

Funding details

The PhD position is fully funded for four years.
