The Neurobiology labs study sensory systems, neural circuits, pathologies and behavior - students from a broad range of backgrounds (biology, medicine, physics, engineering,...) are encouraged to apply. Check out http://phdneurobiology.sissa.it/eng/faculty.aspx
Please contact the PhD coordinator Prof. Paul Heppenstall and/or prospective supervisors for more information and informal inquiries. Accepted students enroll in a 4 year program staring in November 2024 and covered by a SISSA fellowship.
It's the weekend and January is a great time to think about if you want to apply for a new job (or a PhD) in the #ClimateChange + #Glaciology fields...

The above advertised group leader position at the LMB is more targeted towards cellular neurobiology and neurodegeneration.
Simultaneously there is a second call for a group leader within the molecular connectomics initiative, the umbrella research programme currently hosting the labs of Marta Zlatic, Greg Jefferis and my own:
📣 We're hiring up to 3 PhD students for research on large language models!
