PhD College Scholarships 2010 Studentship at Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry for individuals who have the citizenship of a member country of the European Union are encouraged to apply.
Study Subject: Psychiatry
Employer:Max-Planck-Institute of Psychiatry
Scholarships Level: PhD
College Scholarships Description: The theme of the work is highly competitive and of considerable importance for improving health throughout life so as to ensure healthy ageing. Individual training will be provided in a range of biomedical research techniques, supplemented by group-based training in relevant theoretical and practical aspects of sleep and homeostatic control; in addition, students will be equipped with all the generic skills necessary for pursuing independent research.
Research in Munich will be carried out jointly in labs led by Mayumi Kimura (sleep, stress and ageing) and Osborne Almeida (neuroendocrinology of stress and obesity), using state-of-the-art approaches and instrumentation. Projects will involve experimental manipulations (including pharmacological and surgical) in mice, although suitable cellular models will also be used, as appropriate. Work will focus on quantitative analysis of EEG activity, complemented by neuroanatomy (immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization), molecular endocrinology, and behavioural assays of mood and emotion.
Requirements
Ideally, candidates should have experience in one or more of the experimental approaches mentioned as well as a firm knowledge of the basic principles of neuroscience and physiology; evidence of previous experience (undergraduate theses, publications) will help the selection process. Candidates who do not have direct relevant experience will be considered if they provide a short, but convincing, statement about why these themes interest them and what they expect to bring to the projects.
Applicants should have internationally recognized qualifications; only those demonstrating excellence will be considered. Applicants who are completing their undergraduate degrees may apply, provided they can substantiate their expectations of good final degrees.
PhD College Scholarships Application Deadline: 15 November 2010
