Two PhD Positions in Neuroscience and Traumatic Brain Injury-Associated Dementia University of Amsterdam in Netherlands

PhD position at the University of Amsterdam on the cellular and molecular mechanisms driving traumatic brain injury (TBI)-associated dementia . The project focuses on repetitive mild traumatic brain injury (rmTBI), long-term neuroinflammation, hippocampal dysfunction, memory decline, neurogenesis, astrogliogenesis, microglia activation, and conserved transcriptional programs in mouse and human hippocampus. The position is embedded in a collaboration between the Fitzsimons lab at the Swammerdam I...

PhD Position in Modifying Synapses to Mitigate Alzheimer’s Disease at the University of Amsterdam , Faculty of Science, Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences. This PhD project focuses on neuroscience , especially learning and memory , synaptic plasticity , glutamatergic synapses , engram cells , and the mechanisms underlying resilience to Alzheimer’s disease . The successful candidate will investigate whether modifying synaptic receptor composition using molecular tools and behavioral intervent...

Funded PhD project at the University of Bristol (School of Psychology and Neuroscience) on sleep, trauma processing, PTSD, emotional memory, and targeted memory reactivation (TMR) . The project explores how sleep contributes to emotional processing after trauma and whether TMR can be used as a novel intervention to improve outcomes. You will work on experimental trauma paradigms, including distressing video or virtual-reality-based stimuli, and combine them with conditioned auditory cues that ar...

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...

PhD opportunity in neuroscience , neurobiology , neuroimaging , and psychiatry at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and Maastricht UMC+ in the Netherlands . This project, From brain circuits of threat to neurofeedback in humans , is a collaborative translational neuroscience PhD focused on how the brain controls responses to threat and stress. The work bridges fundamental systems neuroscience in mice with human real-time fMRI neurofeedback, aiming to identify brain regions that causally...
