Two Postdoc roles, Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences

Dr Patricio Opazo's group is recruiting a postdoc to work on understanding the synaptic compensatory mechanisms that may underlie cognitive resilience to Alzheimer's disease.

  • UE07, full-time, fixed-term 2 years
  • Deadline Tuesday 7th May 2024

 

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences

Dr Kat Bowles' lab is looking for a postdocinterested in investigating the functional and transcriptomic effects of astrocytic tau pathology in progressive supranuclear palsy, using human iPSC models and brain tissues.

  • UE07, full-time, fixed-term 2 years
  • Deadline Thursday 9th May 2024

 

Two postdoctoral positions at King’s College London

The lab of Adil Khan is looking for postdocs to work on neural circuits of cognition in mice. The lab studies attention, task-switching and other flexible cognitive behaviours and uses a combination of approaches and techniques, including chronic in-vivo 2-photon and 3-photon calcium imaging of excitatory and inhibitory cell classes, targeted holographic optogenetic manipulations, extracellular neuropixel recordings, viral vector based functional circuit mapping, and computational modelling.

  • For an informal discussion to find out more about the role please contact Dr Adil Khan .
  • Deadline Friday 10th May 2024

 

The Centre for Integrative Biology of Toulouse recruiting Group Leaders

This is an annual call, which this has a special attention to neuroscience and animal behaviour. All basic research projects in the CRCA research fields, such as experience-dependent plasticity of neural circuits and/or behaviour, mechanisms underlying cognitive processes, mechanisms of individual or collective behaviour, behavioural ecology, are welcome.

  • See attachment for details
  • Deadline 14th May 2024

 

Two new Group Leader positions at University of Helsinki Neuroscience Center

The Neuroscience Center is an international research unit within Helsinki Institute of Life Science. The mission of the Neuroscience center is to advance fundamental discoveries in neurosciences to understand how the brain gives rise to complex behaviors in health and disease. Candidates with a focus in circuit, systems or computational neuroscience are particularly encouraged.

  • Initially for five years with a possibility for a four-year extension based upon external mid-term evaluation.
  • Deadline Friday 31st May 2024

 

Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences

The Cousin lab is looking for an ambitious and self-motivated researcher to investigate presynaptic dysfunction in epilepsy in a project funded by the Medical Research Council. The post holder will research how mutations in the gene DNM1 impact on synaptic vesicle recycling in primary neuronal cultures from either genetically-modified or wild-type rodents. The post holder will also generate molecular tools for either mammalian expression (transient transfection and viral transduction).

  • UE07, full-time, fixed-term for 24 months
  • Deadline Friday 31st May 2024
  • For further information, please contact Prof. Mike Cousin

 

Clinical Research Fellow in Small Vessel Diseases, Stroke and Dementia (Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences)

This fellowship will help run clinical trials of new interventions to improve outcomes in patients with lacunar stroke and other clinical presentations of cerebral small vessel disease

  • Grade AMN2 £43,504- £64,461
  • Full-time (NHS hours: 40 hours per week), fixed-term for 3 years
  • Deadline Friday 7th June 2024

 

PhD Opportunity, University of Dundee

Topic: Investigating Nutrient-Dependent Regulation of Microglia Function and Immune Responses.

This project aims to understand how key metabolic nutrients, glucose and glutamine, regulate microglia responses and function. By understanding how these nutrients are utilised by microglia, will be gain insight into how and why Type 2 Diabetes is a significant risk factor for the development of Alzheimer’s Disease.

  • 4-year fully funded PhD in the School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee
  • Supervisors: Dr Amy Lloyd and Prof Doreen Cantrell
  • Start date: Monday 9th September
  • Deadline Friday 7th June 2024
