Offer Description
The "Pharmaceutical Bioanalysis" research group (Ass. Prof. Dr. Sophia Khom) within the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences has a vacancy for a University Assistant praedoc (PhD) to investigate the molecular, cellular, circuit, and behavioral implications of altered synaptic signaling in neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders. According to the World Health Organization, harmful alcohol consumption results in the deaths of 1 million individuals every year in Europe. Our research aims to ultimately elucidate mechanisms by which chronic alcohol consumption disrupts brain function and identify new targets for preventing or treating alcohol use disorder and associated conditions.
The PhD candidate will use recombinant expression systems to investigate and characterize the action of novel ligands at inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors at the molecular level and ex vivo and in vivo models of neurological and neuropsychiatric disease to evaluate the pharmacological profile of suitable drug candidates.
