Funded PhD in Neuroscience: Cell Types, Connectivity, and Computation in Mouse Visual Cortex The Francis Crick Institute in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute in circuit mechanisms underlying multisensory integration in the superior colliculus . This funded PhD project with Florencia Iacaruso focuses on neuroscience , multisensory integration , superior colliculus , calcium imaging , and connectomics . The project asks how visual, auditory, and somatosensory inputs converge onto distinct neuronal populations and how cortical and subcortical circuits shape multisensory computations. Methods include custom ...

PhD opportunity: Connectomics across sexes, species and states at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , biology , molecular biology , biophysics , bioengineering , and computational analysis. The research focuses on connectomics —synaptic-resolution wiring diagrams—to study how neural circuits generate behaviour in Drosophila and related species. The group has already contributed to majo...

Funded PhD opportunities are open at the Earlham Institute in Norwich for the 2027 PhD programme, offered through the NRPDTP Doctoral Training Partnership and the ARIES programme. Students can apply to several interdisciplinary projects spanning computational biology, genomics, artificial intelligence, and engineering biology. The post highlights access to expert scientists, technology, and facilities at the Earlham Institute. This is a PhD-level opening, and the announcement says applications a...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in cell-type specific RNA processing defects in neurodegeneration . This project, hosted by the Department of Clinical Neurosciences and linked to the Ryten Lab , focuses on how RNA processing changes in vulnerable brain cell populations contribute to neurodegenerative disease. The research is centered on Parkinson’s disease , Lewy body dementia , and Alzheimer’s disease , with emphasis on RNA splicing , transcript isoform use , RNA editing , and 3′...
