PhD student in biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases Lund University in Sweden

Lund University is recruiting a doctoral student to investigate how biological clock disturbances influence Huntington’s disease (HD), an inherited neurodegenerative disorder affecting movement, cognition and psychiatric function. The project focuses on the relationship between circadian rhythms and disease progression. The body’s biological clock regulates sleep, metabolism, immune function and brain activity, while individual cells and organs maintain their own rhythms. Because sleep and circa...

Uppsala University is recruiting a full-time postdoctoral researcher in biopharmaceuticals at the Department of Pharmacy in Uppsala, Sweden. The two-year temporary position focuses on developing AAV-based therapies for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, with a starting date of 1 February 2027 or by agreement. The research group develops biologic therapies for Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease using protein-based, antibody-based, and AAV gene-therapy approaches. ...

Amsterdam UMC is offering a PhD position in spatial proteomics and neurodegeneration , focused on understanding how cell-type vulnerability and resilience contribute to frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The PhD researcher will design and perform proteomics studies using human postmortem FTD brain tissue and patient-derived iPSC neuronal cultures. The project will employ innovative single-cell, spatial proteomics, and other omics technologies to investigate molecular and cellular dysfunction, cell-s...

Lund University invites applications for a doctoral project on the evolution of colour vision in marine invertebrates. The PhD researcher will investigate whether the firefly squid, a cephalopod, and the alciopid worm, an annelid, have independently evolved colour vision despite living in deep-water, night-time environments. The project will examine how colour vision influences behaviour and whether these species use visual processing circuits and principles comparable to those found in arthropo...
