Postdoctoral Position in Glial Biology and Neurodevelopment (Juan de la Cierva 2026) Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience in Spain

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...

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral researcher to join the “Physiological and Pathological Mechanisms of Cortical Development” team led by Dr. Juliette Godin at the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology (IGBMC) in Strasbourg, France. The project is supervised directly by Dr. Efil Bayam and is part of the ANR-funded SpeaDAT project , which investigates how species-specific dysfunction of the ADAT tRNA deaminase complex affects brain development. The successful candidate...

PhD opportunity in Neuroscience at Hospital del Mar Research Institute, Barcelona, Spain. This 4-year predoctoral position focuses on understanding the properties of human neural circuits using surgically resected human brain tissue from epilepsy patients. The selected PhD student will use advanced imaging or patch-clamp electrophysiology to study how human circuits function and how they are altered in disease. The project is carried out by a new team at Hospital del Mar Research Institute (HMRI...
