Funded PhD in Neuroscience: Interneuron Dysfunction in a Mouse Model of Schizophrenia University of Bristol in United Kingdom

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol in the School of Psychology and Neuroscience on neuroscience , schizophrenia , synaptic plasticity , and cognitive flexibility . The project, supervised by Prof J Mellor , investigates how genetic risk factors such as Dlg2 and Grin2A disrupt dendritic signalling, hippocampal representations, and behavioural flexibility in psychiatric disorders. The work combines transgenic animal models, electrophysiology, synaptic and dendritic calcium imaging, 2-...

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...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on unravelling the metabolic basis of aberrant neuroimmune interactions in MS-associated cognitive decline . This project sits at the intersection of neuroscience , medical science , neuroimmunology , and metabolism . It focuses on multiple sclerosis (MS) , especially the mechanisms underlying cognitive impairment , microglial activation, neuronal vulnerability, and neuroimmune crosstalk in the CNS. Resear...

PhD opportunity in astrocyte biology and molecular neuroscience at Cardiff University This funded PhD project, titled Silent Architects: Uncovering How Astrocytes Shape Brain Health , is based at Cardiff University, Cardiff School of Medicine, in the United Kingdom. The project investigates how astrocytes regulate brain function, including neuronal activity, metabolism, extracellular matrix organisation, and resilience to disease. The research will focus on novel astrocyte-enriched genes and sig...
