PhD and MSc Thesis Positions: Explore the frontier of neuro-epigenetics at the Toda Lab in Erlangen, Germany. We invite applications for a PhD and MSc thesis position to investigate chromatin-associated RNAs & RNA-binding proteins and their roles in neuro-epigenetic regulation. The Toda lab focuses on deciphering the neuro-epigenetic mechanisms crucial for sustaining long-term brain function. If you are passionate about molecular biology, biochemistry, and neurobiology, and eager to contribute to cutting-edge research, join us in unraveling the secrets of RNA stability and its impact on epigenetic landscapes in the brain.
Designation: PhD and MSc Thesis Positions
Research Area: Investigating chromatin-associated RNAs & RNA-binding proteins and their roles in neuro-epigenetic regulation
Location: Toda Lab, FAU/MPZ-PM, Erlangen, Germany
Eligibility/Qualification:
- PhD Position:
- Excellent Master’s degree with a background in molecular biology, biochemistry, or neurobiology.
- Additional experience in computational biology is desirable.
