neuronal cell conversion PostDoc positions and fellowships

This doctoral fellowship investigates peripheral immune imprinting of brain immunity using human-relevant cerebral organoid models. The project combines single-cell resolved omics and in toto imaging to dissect how peripheral inputs reshape macrophage/microglial identity, alter synaptic function, and modulate amyloid pathology. Candidates will work in a multidisciplinary team at the University of Antwerp and UCB Pharma, gaining expertise in iPSC culture, genome engineering, advanced microscopy, and neuroimmunology.

This PhD position at the Leibniz Institute for Analytical Sciences (ISAS) in Dortmund focuses on developing advanced computational methods for three-dimensional microscopy image analysis. The candidate will create large-scale image analysis pipelines, computational frameworks for 3D shape modeling, and AI-based representation learning techniques to gain biological insights from complex biomedical imaging data. The role involves publishing results in top-tier conferences and journals, collaborating within an international interdisciplinary team, and receiving extensive training through ISAS and the Leibniz Association.

The postdoctoral research associate will work on an EPSRC‑funded project to develop vapour‑deposited perovskite thin films for high‑efficiency multijunction solar cells. Based at King's College London’s Strand Campus, the role involves engineering novel precursor materials, commissioning a state‑of‑the‑art PVD system with industry partner Kurt J. Lesker, mentoring MSc and PhD students, and collaborating with Dr Jay Patel. The position offers access to excellent London‑based facilities, opportunities for academic‑industrial experience, conference attendance, and outreach participation.

The PhD position at the University of Warsaw’s Centre of New Technologies focuses on developing low‑dimensional materials for solar‑fuel production and valorisation within the SOLAR2VAL project. Candidates will perform quantum‑chemistry and molecular‑dynamics simulations, work with HPC clusters, and contribute to interdisciplinary research under the supervision of Silvio Osella. The role includes a stipend, starts 1 September 2026, and applications are due 15 July 2026.

This PhD position at the University of Southampton involves designing and testing nonlinear photonic devices for quantum systems, with applications in quantum computing and mid-infrared imaging. It combines fabrication expertise with interdisciplinary collaboration, offering full scholarships for UK/EU students.

This postdoctoral position at the University of Sydney’s School of Life and Environmental Sciences focuses on metabolic disease and cell signalling, investigating protein trafficking, signalling pathways, membrane transport, proteomics, and systems-level regulation of metabolism. The successful candidate will employ biochemical, molecular, cellular, and in vivo approaches, including CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and mass spectrometry, to uncover disease mechanisms and therapeutic targets, while supervising students and collaborating nationally and internationally.

The University of Miami seeks a Post Doctoral Associate to conduct research in cardiovascular biology, heart failure, and regenerative medicine at their Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute. The role involves independent research, molecular assays, data analysis, manuscript preparation, and mentoring under supervision.

A postdoctoral associate position in cardiovascular research at Baylor College of Medicine seeks candidates with an MD or Ph.D. in basic or health sciences to investigate heart disease mechanisms, conduct experiments, manage lab animals, and contribute to publications. The role offers a stipend aligned with NIH guidelines and requires onsite work in Houston, TX.

A postdoctoral position at the University of Luxembourg's LCSB focuses on neurodegenerative disease research using iPSC models, metabolism assays, and computational modeling. The role involves interdisciplinary collaboration, data analysis, manuscript writing, and teaching support.

The Cohen Lab in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Minnesota seeks a postdoctoral fellow to lead a project investigating the functions of neuromodulators such as serotonin and norepinephrine and their impact on downstream neural networks across the mouse brain. The role involves designing and performing experiments that measure and manipulate neurotransmitter release, neural activity, and behavior using in vivo electrophysiology, optical physiology, and behavioral assays. The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in neuroscience or a related field, expertise in electrophysiology and optical physiology, and a team-oriented mindset. The position offers a competitive salary range, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for professional development within a diverse and inclusive research environment.
