Ph.D. Student in Alicante/Spain

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate to study the influence of sleep on  Alzheimer’s disease progression and resilience using a combination of electrophysiological, transcriptomic and epigenomic techniques and mouse models and human samples.

As an ideal candidate, you bring with you a background in neuro-epigenetics, bioinformatics, and/or molecular-behavioral neurosciences. The succesful candidate will incorporate into the group of Functional Epi-Genomics at the Neuroscience Institute of Alicante (IN), and work in collaboration with other groups participating in this project as part of an international action.

The IN is a joint center between the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the University Miguel Hernández de Elche (UMH) that enrolls over 50 laboratories with more than 350 people from 20 different nationalities with full access to state-of-the-art facilities and extensive training opportunities. It houses an International Neuroscience Master and PhD program with their own scholarships, frequently organizes thematic congresses and meetings, and holds regular seminars with national and international speakers, which constitutes a highly stimulating research environment in one of the most attractive places in Spain and Europe to work and live, Alicante.
