PhD Position in Cellular Mechanisms of Traumatic Brain Injury-Associated Dementia University of Amsterdam in Netherlands

Two PhD candidates are being recruited for a collaborative neuroscience project on repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI) and its role in long-term memory decline and dementia. The project is titled “From injury to decline: understanding cellular mechanisms driving traumatic brain injury-associated dementia” and is a joint effort between Carlos P. Fitzsimons at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences, University of Amsterdam and Evgenia Salta at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscie...

PhD Position in Modifying Synapses to Mitigate Alzheimer’s Disease at the University of Amsterdam , Faculty of Science, Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences. This PhD project focuses on neuroscience , especially learning and memory , synaptic plasticity , glutamatergic synapses , engram cells , and the mechanisms underlying resilience to Alzheimer’s disease . The successful candidate will investigate whether modifying synaptic receptor composition using molecular tools and behavioral intervent...

PhD opportunity in Psychiatric Nutrigenomics focused on gene–diet interaction, FADS2, and psychiatric risk. This fully funded doctoral project is offered through the GW4 BioMed MRC Doctoral Training Partnership and is part of an interdisciplinary supervisory team across Cardiff University , University of Exeter , University of Bath , and collaborators at Maastricht University . The research asks how genetic variation and dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) interact at the molecular and c...

KU Leuven in Belgium is advertising a PhD position in a research project on LINE-1 transposition , host factors , and their role in human disease. The group is internationally known for work on HIV host factors , including LEDGF/p75 and Transportin-SR2, and has extended this expertise to LINE-1, a human retrotransposon implicated in neuroinflammatory diseases . The project investigates how host factors facilitate LINE-1 transposition and aims to identify inhibitors of LINE-1 transposition in cel...

PhD positions are available in the newly established Batiuk lab at Heidelberg University / Heidelberg University Hospital, Institute of Human Genetics, Germany. The lab is recruiting its first doctoral researchers to study the biological mechanisms of PTSD after psychological trauma. Research topics include single-nuclei transcriptomics, epigenomics, human post-mortem brain research, and preclinical animal models, with the goal of identifying novel cell-type-specific therapeutic targets. This op...
