PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Electrophysiology in Portugal

This PhD position is in medical science at Linköping University and is embedded in a research group working on the modulation and pharmacology of proton-activated chloride channels. The project addresses ion channels that have attracted attention as promising drug targets in areas such as ischemic stroke, cancer and viral entry into cells. The doctoral student will work on understanding how these channels function and how small molecules can modulate their activity. The research combines molecul...

This postdoctoral position at CNRS is based in the CerCo, an interdisciplinary research center carrying out cutting-edge work in cognitive neuroscience. The project focuses on identifying regular variations in electrophysiological markers of attention and their correlates within the autonomic nervous system. The successful candidate will contribute to the analysis of EEG, electrogastrography (EGG), and autonomic nervous system data, helping to advance understanding of brain-body interactions and...

This postdoctoral appointment at the University of Miami is centered on neuroscience research in physiology and biophysics, with a strong emphasis on how nerve cells communicate and how brain circuits are regulated. The position is embedded in an academic medical environment at UHealth / the Miller School of Medicine and offers the opportunity to contribute to research spanning synaptic signaling, neuronal recording, and translational studies of neurological and psychiatric disease. The successf...

The University of Zurich is offering a fully funded PhD position at the Spinal Cord Injury Center of University Hospital Balgrist. The project, “Enhancing reticulospinal plasticity through paired stimulation to promote functional recovery after incomplete spinal cord injury,” focuses on developing innovative neurorehabilitation strategies for people with incomplete spinal cord injury. The research examines the reticulospinal pathway, an important neural system involved in motor recovery after sp...

The University of Bern is offering a PhD position in the multicenter project PRECISE-MDD , investigating precision treatment selection in major depressive disorder. The study is a triple-blind randomized controlled trial examining whether EEG- and ECG-based biomarkers can predict the therapeutic effects of antidepressants, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, ketamine and electroconvulsive therapy in patients with unipolar depression. At the Bern study center, the doctoral researcher wi...

The Pouladi Laboratory in the Department of Medical Genetics at The University of British Columbia is seeking a full-time Research Associate at the UBC Hospital Site in Vancouver. Reporting to Dr. Mahmoud Pouladi, the researcher will investigate the biology and treatment of genetic neurological disorders using complementary mouse and human pluripotent stem cell models. The project will involve developing and analyzing novel disease models, examining brain-development defects, and conducting prec...

The University of Nevada, Reno is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar in Physiology to join research on how blood flow is regulated in the brain and retina in health and disease. The project spans neurovascular signaling and disease-focused questions relevant to Alzheimer’s disease , neurodevelopmental disorders , and brain tumor–vascular interactions . The successful fellow will lead in vivo and ex vivo studies using advanced physiological and imaging approaches. The work includes cranial window ...

This PhD project investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms that connect repetitive mild traumatic brain injury to long-term hippocampal dysfunction, memory decline, and dementia-related neurodegeneration. The research focuses on how repeated head impacts alter the fate of resident neural stem cells in the hippocampus, including neurogenesis, astrogliogenesis, reactive astrogliosis, inflammatory signaling, and microglial activation, and how these changes may contribute to persistent cogn...

This PhD project focuses on how glutamatergic synapses and their receptor composition may be modified to reduce age-related cognitive decline and improve resilience to Alzheimer’s disease pathology. The work combines molecular approaches and behavioral interventions to investigate memory deficits linked to amyloid beta and to study how synaptic changes may influence learning, memory, and disease vulnerability. The position is based in the Memory and Plasticity team of Dr. Harm Krugers at the Swa...
