PhD in Molecular Neurodegeneration in Human Brain Tissue University of Leuven in Belgium

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on programmed axon death , SARM1 , NMNAT2 , and protein design . The project focuses on understanding the mechanism of programmed axon death, an intrinsic axonal death pathway implicated in neurodegenerative disease and injury. The work will use rational protein design to create variant forms of SARM1 or hybrid reporter constructs to study activation, stability, enzyme activity, and post-translational modi...

HFSP Postdoctoral Fellowships 2027 from the Human Frontier Science Program support pioneering fundamental basic research in the life sciences. This is a highly competitive, elite three-year postdoctoral fellowship designed to encourage interdisciplinary innovation. Applicants are expected to propose a project that is distinctly different from their PhD focus. The fellowship is fully funded and administered through the host institution at 100% FTE. The Letter of Intent portal is scheduled to open...

Midwestern University is advertising a three-year funded postdoctoral fellow position in a neuroscience lab led by Lori Buhlman at the Biomedical Sciences Program in Glendale, Arizona , United States. The project uses Drosophila to investigate the mechanisms by which loss of function of parkin causes neurodegeneration and motor deficits . This opportunity is well suited to candidates interested in neuroscience , biology , and biomedical research on disease mechanisms. The post explicitly states ...
