Ph.D. Position at Neurobiology Laboratory: The Developmental Neurobiology laboratory led by Nuria Flames at the Instituto de Biomedicina de Valencia, Spain (IBV-CSIC) is offering a Ph.D. position. The lab employs a multidisciplinary approach combining cellular biology, genomics, molecular genetics, and bioinformatics using murine and C. elegans animal models. The goal is to investigate transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms involved in neuron specification, plasticity, and evolution, which are relevant in health and disease. This opportunity is ideal for a highly motivated young researcher interested in predoctoral training in a stimulating scientific environment. The position is funded by the Spanish government and the European Union (ERC Consolidation grant).
