PhD in Neuroscience: Astrocyte Specialization within Motor Control Networks University of St Andrews in United Kingdom

Universidad de Alcalá is offering a full-time postdoctoral position in the neurobiology of pain within its Department of Systems Biology in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain. The project focuses on the spinal circuits recruited after optogenetic activation of nociceptive afferent neuron subpopulations and on developing an ex vivo sensitization model using specific patterns of optogenetic stimulation. The work is embedded in an established laboratory environment where the procedures are already ro...

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...

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-...

Two postdoctoral fellow positions are available in neurobiology at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology with Dr Michel Goedert . The project focuses on the mechanisms underlying the assembly of alpha-synuclein into the amyloid filaments found in Lewy body diseases and multiple system atrophy in human brains. These are three-year positions funded by an ASAP (Aligning Science Across Parkinson's) grant. The collaboration includes researchers at MRC-LMB , University College London , University of...
