Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience: “You snooze, you win: harnessing hibernation biology for organ protection.” This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , biology , medical science , and ischaemia-reperfusion injury , asking how synthetic torpor can protect the heart and kidneys from injury. The project explores how activating specific hypothalamic neurons in the preoptic area can induce torpor-like states, even in animals th...

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol (School of Psychology and Neuroscience) on sleep, trauma processing, PTSD, emotional memory, and targeted memory reactivation (TMR) . The project explores how sleep contributes to emotional processing after trauma and whether TMR can be used as a novel intervention to improve outcomes. You will work on experimental trauma paradigms, including distressing video or virtual-reality-based stimuli, and combine them with conditioned auditory cues that ar...

Funded PhD opportunity at the University of Warwick in the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership on Role of Glial Cells in the Memory Processes: From Support to Spotlight . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , cell biology , and molecular biology , focusing on how non-neuronal brain cells—especially astrocytes and microglia —influence memory formation, consolidation, and retrieval. The advert highlights the role of neuronal hyperactivity, including in neurologi...

Postdoctoral Research Assistant vacancy at the University of Oxford, in DPAG, focused on Parkinson’s disease and neuron metabolism. The project uses CRISPRi/a screens in iPSC-derived neurons to investigate how Parkinson’s genetics alter mitochondria. This is a strong fit for candidates with interests in neuroscience, biology, medical science, neurodegeneration, mitochondrial function, and functional genomics. The post is advertised as a postdoc-level research assistant role. The announcement doe...
