Position available: Post Doctoral Research Associate in Whole Organism Neuroscience – lab of Iris Hardege, University of Cambridge, UK.

Deadline for application: August 3rd, 2025.

"This BBSRC-funded project aims to understand the interplay between excitatory and inhibitory metabotropic and ionotropic dopamine receptors and how they contribute to the regulation of complex behaviours."

Please BOOST : There is still time (until next Wednesday 18 June) for any interested master student to apply for the doctoral thesis in #Forest #Ecophysiology on the subject of "Defining functional strategies at the whole-plant level by integrating traits related to carbon acquisition and water use in seedlings of Fagaceae" that we offer here in Nancy.
More explicitely, this thesis is about #drought responses of #tree seedlings, considering all organs and many #FunctionalTraits , but somewhat focused on #CarbonAllocation, #WaterUseEfficiency and #PlantHydraulics .
The thesis takes place close to Nancy, East of France, in the #INRAe campus which is at the edge of a very nice forest. The student will work in our very active tree ecophysiology group (PHARE) of the Silva unit. More information can be found on the Silva website :
eng-silva.nancy.hub.inrae.fr/o

Please see also the webpage of the #SIReNa doctoral school of the #UniversityofLorraine :

And don't hesitate to BOOST and share in your networks. Thanks !

"The ideal candidate should have a strong background in bioinformatics, ideally with practical or theoretical experience in single-cell transcriptomics or comparative genomics. A keen interest in neurobiology is essential. Additional skills in evolutionary biology, insect handling, and programming (preferably in Python) would be advantageous, but are not mandatory."

Position still open!

PhD project with Marcus Stensmyr @MarcusStensmyr :

"will address fundamental questions about how the fly's sense of smell operates. More specifically, the prospective PhD student will map the evolution of chemoreceptors in drosophilids over deep time and investigate how these receptors are used to extract sensory information from the environment. The project will utilize museomics, comparative genomics, electrophysiology, and fieldwork to trace the functional evolution of chemoreceptor genes within Drosophilidae."

Knowing Marcus a bit, it is also going to be a lot of fun. And in a great city too – Lund, Sweden.

Apply by May 5th.

The Institute of Neuroscience Paris-Saclay (NeuroPSI) is seeking new group leaders for the coming years:
neuropsi.cnrs.fr/ao2025/

Deadline: May 30th, 2025.

"#NeuroPSI currently hosts 25 teams that use a variety of animal models and combine experimental and theoretical approaches to understand how different types of neural architectures generate distinct behaviors."

"We particularly encourage young and mid-career #Drosophila researchers to apply to keep the momentum for Drosophila neurobiology in the Paris-Saclay area. With currently 5 teams working with this model, the institute has the necessary infrastructure for fly rearing and experimentation which makes it great place for Drosophilists to join."

3 open PhD positions in Simon Sprecher's lab in Switzerland:

"We are looking for highly motivated PhD candidates with interest in neuroscience joining our research group at the Department of Biology at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland.

"Our laboratory aims to identify universal features of how the nervous system functions. Particularly we are interested in the genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms of the how memories are formed and forgotten in health and disease. We study neuronal circuits, their neural and cellular properties properties as well as the molecular and genetic pathways that achieve these distinct cognitive functions in the brain."
