Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher to join the “Physiological and Pathological Mechanisms of Cortical Development” team led by Dr. Juliette Godin at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC) in Strasbourg, France. The project is supervised directly by Dr. Efil Bayam and is part of the ANR-funded SpeaDAT project , which investigates how species-specific dysfunction of the ADAT tRNA deaminase complex affects brain development. The successful candidate...

Jacquemont Lab at CHU Sainte-Justine and Université de Montréal is hiring for PhD and postdoc positions in an exciting research area at the intersection of neuroscience , genomics , and medical science . The project focuses on the effects of genetic variants on brain transcriptomics and brain architecture . This is a strong fit for candidates interested in human genetics, neurogenomics, transcriptomics, and brain development/structure. Location: Montréal, Canada. Opportunity type: Open research ...

PhD opportunity: Golgi function in brain organoids at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, UK. This project investigates how the Golgi apparatus organizes membrane trafficking and how Golgi proteins contribute to tissue function and neurodevelopment. The research uses brain organoids derived from stem cells to model tissue formation in vitro, with a focus on the YIPF5 protein complex and related proteins implicated in microcephaly, epilepsy, and diabetes (ME...

Funded PhD project at the University of Warwick in the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership, focused on how ancient gene regulatory programmes may govern both neural and pancreatic fates throughout vertebrate evolution. The project sits at the intersection of developmental biology , genetics , cell biology , and neuroscience . It builds on comparative functional genomics work identifying highly conserved non-coding elements (HCNEs) associated with transcription factor genes invo...
