PhD in Neuropeptide Networks in Worms and Octopus Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in neuroscience , molecular biology , and behavioural biology at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom . The project, supervised by Dr Marta Zlatic , focuses on the circuit basis of learning and action selection in the tractable Drosophila larva . The research aims to uncover how distributed brain circuits implement memory formation and action choice using a synaptic-resolution connectome, genetic tools, and functional experimen...

PhD opportunity in Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Behavioural Biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology. This project, supervised by Dr Marco Tripodi, investigates how the brain transforms perception into action. The research focuses on neural circuits linking the motor cortex, thalamus, and superior colliculus, with particular interest in genetically defined Pitx2 neurons and their role in sensorimotor transformation, intention, movement preparat...

UK Research and Innovation is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scientist in Neurobiology to work at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom. The three-year, full-time position is based in the Kornfeld and Jefferis groups and focuses on understanding how behaviours are encoded in the brain’s synaptic networks. The successful researcher will develop and apply novel approaches for large-scale connectomics, mapping and analysing synaptic connections in vertebrate and invertebra...

PhD opportunity in connectomics , neural network plasticity , neuroscience , and molecular biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge) / Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the United Kingdom . The project focuses on understanding how biological neural networks change over time at synaptic resolution. It combines optical connectomics, expansion microscopy, and fluorescence-based molecular tools to map circuits and overlay information about the plasticity state of each synaptic connection....

Funded PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute in London, United Kingdom. This 2027 Crick PhD project with Dr Jonny Kohl focuses on the function and flexibility of neural circuits for instinctive behaviours , with a strong emphasis on neuroscience , behavioural biology , and state-dependent brain plasticity. The project asks how physiological states such as reproductive, metabolic, and hormonal conditions shape information processing in the brain and alter instinctive behaviours including...
