Postdoctoral Scientist in Neurobiology and Molecular Connectomics of Drosophila MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in United Kingdom

UK Research and Innovation is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scientist in Neurobiology to work at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom. The three-year, full-time position is based in the Kornfeld and Jefferis groups and focuses on understanding how behaviours are encoded in the brain’s synaptic networks. The successful researcher will develop and apply novel approaches for large-scale connectomics, mapping and analysing synaptic connections in vertebrate and invertebra...

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Neurobiology and Behaviour at the University of Sussex , based in Brighton, UK, in the laboratory of Professor Claudio Alonso . The project focuses on neural development and function in Drosophila , with an emphasis on how molecular biology of neurons relates to the development and function of neural circuits. The successful candidate will join the Alonso lab and work closely with group members and UK/international collaborators in a vibrant neuroscience environme...

PhD opportunity: Golgi function in brain organoids at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology, UK. This project investigates how the Golgi apparatus organizes membrane trafficking and how Golgi proteins contribute to tissue function and neurodevelopment. The research uses brain organoids derived from stem cells to model tissue formation in vitro, with a focus on the YIPF5 protein complex and related proteins implicated in microcephaly, epilepsy, and diabetes (ME...

Funded PhD project at the University of Warwick in the Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership, focused on how ancient gene regulatory programmes may govern both neural and pancreatic fates throughout vertebrate evolution. The project sits at the intersection of developmental biology , genetics , cell biology , and neuroscience . It builds on comparative functional genomics work identifying highly conserved non-coding elements (HCNEs) associated with transcription factor genes invo...

PhD opportunity in connectomics , neural network plasticity , neuroscience , and molecular biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge) / Laboratory of Molecular Biology in the United Kingdom . The project focuses on understanding how biological neural networks change over time at synaptic resolution. It combines optical connectomics, expansion microscopy, and fluorescence-based molecular tools to map circuits and overlay information about the plasticity state of each synaptic connection....
