Postdoctoral Scientist in Neurobiology, Connectomics and Synaptic Networks UK Research and Innovation in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity in neuroscience , molecular biology , and behavioural biology at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, United Kingdom . The project, supervised by Dr Marta Zlatic , focuses on the circuit basis of learning and action selection in the tractable Drosophila larva . The research aims to uncover how distributed brain circuits implement memory formation and action choice using a synaptic-resolution connectome, genetic tools, and functional experimen...

PhD opportunity in Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Behavioural Biology at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (Cambridge, United Kingdom). This project, supervised by Dr W Schafer, focuses on neuropeptide networks and how “wireless” neuronal communication shapes behaviour. The first part uses C. elegans to study neuropeptide signaling in feeding circuits, including how peptides and receptors related to human hypothalamic appetite pathways regulate feeding and starva...

PhD opportunity at The Francis Crick Institute with Dr Michael Winding on the development and function of neural circuits underlying collective behaviour . The project focuses on how animals compare the costs and benefits of joining collective behaviour, using Drosophila melanogaster larvae as a model system. The research combines neuroscience , developmental biology , behavioural biology , and bioinformatics . Possible directions include uncovering the circuit mechanisms driving collective digg...

PhD opportunity in Neuroscience, Molecular Biology, and Behavioural Biology at the Medical Research Council (Cambridge), Laboratory of Molecular Biology. This project, supervised by Dr Marco Tripodi, investigates how the brain transforms perception into action. The research focuses on neural circuits linking the motor cortex, thalamus, and superior colliculus, with particular interest in genetically defined Pitx2 neurons and their role in sensorimotor transformation, intention, movement preparat...

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....
