PhD candidate opportunity at the University of Amsterdam (Faculty of Science, Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences) in neuroscience , with a strong focus on aging biology , Alzheimer’s disease , brain networks , and neurovascular dysfunction . The project asks how loss of vascular clearance mechanisms, especially endothelial LRP1, disrupts brain-wide circuits involving the thalamus, cortex, hippocampus, and cerebellum. You will test whether impaired vascular clearance leads to altered coherenc...

University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) is recruiting a PhD physician-researcher in vascular neurology with a strong focus on cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) , brain hemorrhage, biomarkers, advanced MRI, clinical epidemiology, and translational research. The project is part of Prof. Dr. Marieke Wermer’s Vici-funded research line and involves collaboration with Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), Radboudumc, and international partners in London and beyond. The successful candidate will ...

PhD position in the Artegiani & Hendriks group at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology in Utrecht, the Netherlands. This doctoral opening focuses on the use and development of human brain organoids to study mechanisms of human brain development and disease, and to understand how developmental processes relate to brain disorders. The project sits within the EU-funded Marie Curie doctoral network VISI-ON-BRAIN, which aims to develop advanced human in vitro and in silico biomedical too...
