PhD position – Bioengineering and Neuroscience Theme: Neural basis of survival behaviors

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

To be a doctoral student means to devote oneself to a research project under supervision of experienced researchers and following an individual study plan. For a doctoral degree, the equivalent of four years of full-time doctoral education is required.

Are you passionate about understanding how neural circuits generate behavior?

The at Karolinska Institutet and SciLifeLab in Stockholm is recruiting up to two PhD students in bioengineering. We are based at the Department of Neuroscience at Karolinska Institutet and are part of SciLifeLab, Swedens national center for large-scale biosciences and data-driven life science. Our mission is to uncover the neural and neurohormonal mechanisms underlying instinctual and homeostatic behaviors, including aggression, fear, food, and water intake.

We seek a candidate who will contribute to the development and integration...
