Students with a keen interest in neuroscience are invited to apply for doctoral studentships within the newly established PhD program CavX – Calcium channels in excitable cells.
In the PhD program, which is run by the Universities in Innsbruck, we are studying the roles of voltage-gated calcium channels (Cav) in health and disease. Students accepted into the program will be enrolled in the existing graduate program in Neuroscience and receive a specialized training in signaling processes of ion channels, membrane excitability, calcium signaling, and channelopathies.
Research topics: Roles of voltage-gated calcium channels in CNS neurons, skeletal muscle and pancreas, brain disorders, retinal dysfunction, and diabetes.
Candidates must hold a master's degree or equivalent in the life sciences, medicine, pharmacy or physics. Excellent command of English is indispensable.
