Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Neurobiology and Behaviour (Drosophila, Neural Development and Function) University of Sussex in United Kingdom

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...

Funded PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute in London, United Kingdom. This 2027 Crick PhD project with Dr Jonny Kohl focuses on the function and flexibility of neural circuits for instinctive behaviours , with a strong emphasis on neuroscience , behavioural biology , and state-dependent brain plasticity. The project asks how physiological states such as reproductive, metabolic, and hormonal conditions shape information processing in the brain and alter instinctive behaviours including...

Fully funded PhD position at the Institute of Neuroscience CSIC-UMH in Alicante, Spain . The project focuses on the developmental basis of neural circuits underlying sex-dimorphisms in adaptive behavior , with work in the DIFFER project under Dr. Isabel del Pino . Research topics and methods include neuromodulatory circuits , mouse genetics , viral circuit tracing , in vivo fiber photometry , optogenetics , transcriptomics , bioinformatic analysis , ex vivo electrophysiology (including patch-cla...

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...

Fully funded PhD opportunity in Neuroscience at the University of Exeter through the GW4 BioMed MRC Doctoral Training Partnership . Project title: How sights become signals for learning This project asks how the brain learns that a previously meaningless visual cue predicts something important, building on recent findings that activity in the superior colliculus is required for dopamine responses to learned visual cues. The student will investigate how visual information gains access to dopamine...
