PhD Opportunities in Electrophysiology in Turkey

Technische Universität Dresden is seeking a doctoral researcher for the project “Moving from Symptom Categories to Cognitive State Signatures in ADHD and ASD.” The project is led by Dr. Paul Wendiggensen and concerns the development of a deeper, cognition-focused understanding of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. The PhD researcher will join an interdisciplinary research team working at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience , cognitive neurophysiology , ...

PhD position in cognitive neurophysiology of ADHD and autism spectrum disorder at the Cognitive Neurophysiology Lab, led by Professor Christian Beste in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy. The project, titled “Moving from symptom categories to cognitive state signatures in ADHD and ASD,” will investigate how cognitive processes in adolescents with ADHD and autism spectrum disorder can be characterized beyond conventional symptom-based categories. The research wil...

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...

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...

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...

The Regensburg International Graduate School of Life Sciences (RIGeL) at the University of Regensburg offers a structured doctoral programme for young scientists in the life sciences. The school brings together research opportunities across biomedicine , cellular biochemistry and biophysics , molecular ecology and evolution , and neurobiology , giving doctoral researchers access to a broad range of topics from molecular mechanisms to complex biological systems. RIGeL is embedded in the biologica...

The International Max Planck Research School for Brain and Behaviour is a fully funded doctoral programme in neuroscience based in Bonn, Germany, and delivered in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology of Behavior – caesar, the University of Bonn, and the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE). The programme focuses on neuroethology and on understanding how brain circuits function from molecules to animal behaviour. Students are immersed in an international res...
