4 phd PhD positions at Canadian Association for Neuroscience

MSc and PhD Positions in mild Traumatic Brain Injury, Christie Lab, University of Victoria

We are now recruiting students with an interest in developing therapies for our CIHR funded work looking at acquired brain injuries using rodent models. Our laboratory uses electrophysiological, molecular, immunohistochemistry and behavioural approaches, and we have excellent resources located...

MSc and PhD Positions in Prenatal Substance Abuse, Christie Lab, University of Victoria

We are now recruiting students with an interest in developing therapies for our CIHR funded work looking at the effects of prenatal cannabis and alcohol exposure using rodent models. Our laboratory uses electrophysiological, molecular, immunohistochemistry and behavioural approaches, and we have...

PhD position: Regeneration of locomotor circuits in salamanders

PROJECT: Salamanders can swim underwater and walk on ground. Their spinal cord regenerates after a full transection and the animal recovers voluntary locomotion after a few weeks. How this occurs is largely unknown. Genetic dissection of salamander neural circuits is now feasible with methods...

PhD position: Brainstem control of locomotion in mice

PROJECT: The locomotor role of dopaminergic cells is classically attributed to their ascending projections to the basal ganglia that project to brainstem locomotor circuits that controls locomotion. However, descending dopaminergic projections to brainstem locomotor circuits were uncovered...
