PhD in the Metabolic Basis of Aberrant Neuroimmune Interactions in MS-Associated Cognitive Decline University of Cambridge in United Kingdom

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 (School of Psychology and Neuroscience) in collaboration with the University of Exeter, focused on neuroscience , schizophrenia , GABAergic interneurons , Somatostatin interneurons , NMDA receptors , hippocampal plasticity, electrophysiology, calcium imaging, transcriptomics, and pharmacology. The project asks how NMDA receptor dysfunction alters the properties of Somatostatin interneuron subtypes in a mouse model of schizophrenia, and how these ch...

PhD opportunity at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Clinical Neurosciences on retrograde mitochondrial signalling, epigenetic reprogramming, glial toxicity, and neuroinflammation in progressive multiple sclerosis . The project focuses on how mitochondrial dysfunction and mitochondrial stress trigger nuclear signalling and epigenetic changes that may drive astrocytes toward a dysfunctional disease-associated radial glia-like (DARG) phenotype. The work is strongly research-oriented...

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...

PhD opportunity at Cardiff University in the Cardiff School of Medicine on shared genetic architecture of neuropsychiatric disorders and novel brain biomarkers . The project sits in the area of imaging genetics and aims to improve the biological specificity of brain phenotypes by implementing novel methods for diffusion weighted imaging in a very large cohort, including UK Biobank data, using the unique Connectome scanner at CUBRIC . The research will generate novel MRI metrics closer to brain b...
