The newly established Pocock Group at BRIC, University of Copenhagen, is seeking a strong and highly motivated candidate for a PhD and postdoctoral fellowship in neurobiology.
The project
The project
The aim of PhD project is to investigate the ability of the nervous system to respond to stress. In particluar, we study neuroplasticity that occurs in response to fluctuations in oxygen availability. The project involves a wide range of techniques in molecular biology, biochemistry and neuroanatomy.
Postdoctoral area of research: Projects in the lab focus on the influence of oxygen on neuronal development, neuronal circuitry and behavior. We are using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a model system to achieve these goals.
