The PhD in Medical Sciences: The University of Nicosia Medical School offers the degree PhD in Medical Sciences. The degree is awarded to students who successfully complete an independent research programme that breaks new ground in the chosen field of study. The PhD programme aspires to empower students to become independent researchers, thus advancing innovation and development. The Research Project: We are currently inviting application through a competitive process for high calibre candidates to apply for one PhD Scholarship in the field of Neuroscience. The successful candidate will enrol on the PhD programme in Medical Sciences and will work under the Supervision of Prof Avgis Hadjipapas, Professor for Neuroscience and Research Methods at the University of Nicosia Medical School. The project is based on an international collaboration between the University of Nicosia Medical School, (UN) the University Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC), Maastricht University (MU) and McGill University (McGill U). The project predominantly involves data-analysis (signal processing), which means that a large part of the project can be conducted remotely. Project Description: Title of research project: Characterization of circadian rhythm modulations in intracranial EEG and their relationship to seizure onsets in focal epilepsy Background, rationale and objectives: Epilepsy affects roughly 1% of the population, and about a third of patients have unpredictable seizures which cannot be adequately controlled with medication (Kuhlmann et al., 2018). Therefore, better understanding of seizure generation and improving seizure predictability are central goals in epilepsy research to prevent seizures from occurring. Recent investigations by our own (Mitsis et al., 2020) and other groups (Leguia et al., 2021) have shown that seizure onsets exhibit a tight correlation to certain phases of circadian rhythms, which leads to improved seizure predictability. However, our previous work (Mitsis et al., 2020) only utilized surface EEG. In this project, and based on a collaboration formed between the University of Nicosia Medical School (UN), Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC), Maastricht University (MU), and McGill University (McGill U), we will address this question by examining intracranial recordings provided by the MUMC partner, obtained directly from the area of the suspected epileptogenic focus. We will first characterize in detail the circadian variation of signal parameters extracted from the intracranial EEG. We will then examine whether seizure onsets are phase coupled (correlated) to these circadian modulations. This will inform both important pathophysiological questions in terms of the extent of the functional seizure generating network. Further, analysis of this correlation at the level of individual patient recordings will inform the feasibility of seizure forecasting informed by circadian rhythms. Successful candidates will benefit from interacting with an international and interdisciplinary consortium of neuroscientists, neurologists and engineers throughout the duration of the project.

The Oldenburg lab combines optics, multiphoton optogenetics, calcium imaging, and computation to understand the motor system. The overall goal of the Oldenburg Lab is to understand the causal relationship between neural activity and motor actions. We use advanced optical techniques such as multiphoton holographic optogenetics to control neural activity with an incredible degree of precision, writing complex patterns of activity to distributed groups of cells. Only by writing activity into the brain at the scale in which it naturally occurs (individual neurons firing distinct patterns of action potentials) can we test theories of what population activity means. We read out the effects of these precise manipulations locally with calcium imaging, in neighboring brain regions with electrophysiology, and at the 'whole animal level' through changes in behavior. We are looking for curious motivated, and talented people with a wide range of skill sets to join our group at all levels from Technician to Postdoc.

Sleep expert with a Ph.D. degree in Neuroscience, Psychology, Biomedical Engineering or similar.
Do you want to illuminate the “dark matter of the brain” by watching neuromodulators and their intracellular effectors in action? Do you wonder why we spend a third of our life sleeping? Do you seek to become a bridge builder between cellular and systems neuroscience? Two postdoctoral positions are available to investigate the role of neuromodulator actions and sleep functions in Dr. Yao Chen’s laboratory in the Department of Neuroscience at Washington University in St. Louis. The first project will investigate how neuromodulators are interpreted via the spatial and temporal features of intracellular signals to play critical roles in cellular physiology and behavior. The second project investigates the mechanisms by which sleep supports cellular and organismal functions. We accomplish both goals by measuring and perturbing the dynamics of biological signals inside and outside the cell. We develop and employ a variety of techniques ex vivo and in vivo, including two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, electrophysiology, biosensor design, opto/chemogenetics, molecular biology, pharmacology, and behavior analyses. For additional information see: https://sites.wustl.edu/yaochenlab/. The PI is committed to mentoring and to nurturing a creative, thoughtful, and collaborative lab culture. Washington University neuroscience community is scientifically excellent and exceptionally collegial. The School of Medicine is consistently ranked among the top 5 medical schools in the United States, with extensive infrastructural and core facility support, and a dynamic research environment in many areas of basic and clinical science.

The St. Louis area combines the attractions of a major city with affordable lifestyle opportunities. The position comes with a competitive salary and a generous benefit package. We are looking for highly motivated individuals who are independent and committed to scientific discovery. The candidates should have expertise in optical imaging and are skilled in quantitative data analyses. Experience in neuromodulator signaling, circadian rhythm or sleep biology, and expertise in electrophysiology, animal behavior, or systems neuroscience are valued. Our work is interdisciplinary and will benefit from diverse perspectives, including molecular and cell biology, systems biology, biophysics, pharmacology, and engineering – even if your past work is not directly related to neuromodulators or sleep, you might be a great fit for the position. Interested candidates should send the following to yaochen@wustl.edu. 1) a cover letter explaining motivation, research experience, and interests; 2) CV; 3) the names of three references.
