Summary: Our laboratory uses mouse genetic tools in an effort to understand the biology that underlies the symptoms of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is characterized by three symptom clusters: the cognitive, negative and positive symptoms. While the positive symptoms – which include disordered thought processes, hallucinations and delusions – are the most characteristic feature of the disorder, […]

Postdoctoral Research Associate positions (Ikezu Lab at Mayo Clinic Florida, USA)
Summary: The Molecular NeuroTherapeutics Laboratory directed by Dr. Tsuneya Ikezu MD., PhD, is seeking for applications from qualified postdoc candidates with expertise in neuroscience, extracellular vehicles andmolecular biology for the translational studies of neurologic disorders.Dr. Ikezu is recognized as a pioneer in the field of neuroimmunology and its role in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases […]
Two PhD studentships in circuit and behavioural neuroscience at the Mediterranean Institute of Neurobiology (INMED), Marseille, France
Summary: The focus of the lab is exploring the interactions between internal models and sensory information. Specifically, we study how long-range connections steer activity in the visual cortices using electrophysiology (Galloni et al. 2020), viral tracing, optogenetics (Galloni et al. 2021), in vivo recordings and behaviour. The studentships are fully funded for 3 years by […]

2 Post-doctoral position in Mohamed Trebak lab, Puttsburgh, PA, USA.
Summary: 2 post-doctoral positions available to study calcium signaling in the processes of remodeling, growth, migration, metabolism and gene regulation, and how changes in ion channel expression and function contribute to cancer progression and to vascular and airway pathophysiology in models of vascular injury, hypertension and asthma. The prospective candidate will have the opportunity to […]
Post-doc position available at the University of California, San Franciso
Summary: One postdoctoral position is available immediately at the University of California, San Francisco to study the effect of vascular risk factors on cognitive and neurophysiological outcome in animal models, and to develop potential therapeutic strategies using brain stimulation. Requirement: The candidate should have a Ph.D. and/or M.D. degree. Projects will involve a multidisciplinary approach […]
PhD position “Neuronal degeneration at the onset of Parkinson’s Diseas” in the group: Sensory-motor processing by subcortical areas, IN (Instituto de Neurociencias)- Spain
Summary: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is mainly characterized by striatal dopamine (DA) depletion due to loss of dopaminergic neurons in the Substantia Nigra pars compacta (SNpc). Progressive cell loss and greater nigro-striatal denervation are associated with increased motor deficits and suboptimal therapeutic control. Understanding the mechanisms that underlie the onset and progression of SNpc damage is […]
Postdoctoral training opportunity in the Harraz Lab: Ion channel physiology/pathophysiology, Signal transduction & neurovascular coupling in Vermont University, Burlington (USA)
Summary: The successful candidate will investigate ion channels and receptors in the vascular system under physiological and pathophysiological conditions. The research will involve patch clamp electrophysiology, genetically engineered mouse models, primary cell culture, calcium imaging, and in vivo imaging of blood flow. We are specifically interested in individuals with research experience in vascular biology, ion […]
Postdoctoral position to develop engineered nanobodies targeting brain alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. 2 years, Institut Paster, Paris
Summary: The alpha7 nAChRs are abundantly expressed in the brain in regions underlying cognition, especially in the hippocampus and the frontal cortex. There is strong evidence that their activation can ameliorate neurocognitive deficits in patients, notably in schizophrenic patients. In this context, we recently generated two single-chain antibodies from alpacas (nanobodies) targeting this receptor, one […]
