PhD position in Behavioural Neuroscience via the LJMU PhD scholarship scheme (m/f/d)
The School of Biological and Environmental Sciences of Liverpool John Moores University is looking for candidates to put up for a competitive internal award (https://www.ljmu.ac.uk/research/phd-scholarships). If successful, the scholarship will cover all applicable fees for 3 years including a stipend at the standard UK rate as well as additional research funding. The goal of the project is to advance the analysis of a stereotyped response of larval zebrafish to hydrodynamic fields and link the ensuing statistical behavioural analysis to neurotransmitter systems. The project is based on previous findings by the group and should set up the basis for new ways of studying attention in neurobiology. Supervisory team: Rodrigo De Marco (Lead Supervisor), School of Biological and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science, LJMU; Francis McGlone, School of Psychology, Faculty of Health, LJMU; Florian Engert, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Harvard University. Candidates should be highly motivated and should have (or expect to complete soon) a Master degree in Biology, Physics or a comparable qualification. A passion for mastering challenges in data analysis is utterly important. Your application: At LJMU we strive for solidarity, inclusion and equality. We welcome applications from all.
