Topic: computational analyses

Investigate immune regulation in sepsis, particularly neuroimmune and interorgan communication, using computational analyses of bulk and single-cell sequencing datasets. The project is funded by FAPESP and is expected to start in November 2026. The advertisement lists 31 October 2026 as its application deadline and states that review starts immediately and continues until the position is filled. Submit a CV, research-interest cover letter and contact details for two references to the investigator listed on the official page.

Leonard Maler will focus on a specialized caudal portion of the cerebellum of teleost fish whose structure and physiology has been especially well studies to the point that we now have detailed computational analyses of its function. Idoia Quintana-Urzainqui will talk about what sharks can tell us about the evolution of the telencephalon, mainly focusing on the evolutionary expansion of the pallium and how shark embryos can hold key information to interpret the origin of the developmental processes that triggered this phenomenon.
