PhD position in motor neuroscience – McCabe Laboratory, EPFL
The EPFL PhD Program in Neuroscience (EDNE) offers extensive training in various fields of neuroscience, including molecular, cellular, circuit, computational, cognitive, and behavioral neuroscience, as well as neuroprosthetics and neuroengineering.
The McCabe Laboratory of Neural Genetics is currently recruiting neuroscientists for a PhD position focused on investigating neuronal circuit and synapse ensemble function in the motor system. The lab aims to achieve a fundamental understanding of motor systems in Drosophila and apply this knowledge to address human motor system dysfunction associated with ageing and diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA).
