Post-doctoral or PhD Position for the development of a neuroprosthesis that supports the production of complex movements – Université de Montréal
A PhD position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Numa Dancause at the Université de Montréal, Department of Neurosciences. Our group investigates the mechanisms underlying movement control, neural plasticity involved in motor recovery post-brain injury, and the effects of neuromodulation techniques such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the brain. We employ rodent…

MSc, PhD and Postdoc Positions – Sensorimotor circuits for motor control and learning in mice, UQTR
Project: The main interest of the lab (PI: Sandrine Côté) is to investigate the anatomical and functional logic of neural circuits linking sensory and motor regions of the brain to reveal how they help orchestrate the production and learning of dexterous movements. By gaining a better understanding of these fundamental mechanisms, our ultimate goal is…

PhD position: Regeneration of locomotor circuits in salamanders
PROJECT: Salamanders can swim underwater and walk on ground. Their spinal cord regenerates after a full transection and the animal recovers voluntary locomotion after a few weeks. How this occurs is largely unknown. Genetic dissection of salamander neural circuits is now feasible with methods for manipulation, elimination, and visualization of genetically-defined cells. Such approaches can…

PhD position: Brainstem control of locomotion in mice
PROJECT: The locomotor role of dopaminergic cells is classically attributed to their ascending projections to the basal ganglia that project to brainstem locomotor circuits that controls locomotion. However, descending dopaminergic projections to brainstem locomotor circuits were uncovered (Ryczko et al. PNAS 2013, PNAS 2016, J Neurosci 2017, J Neurosci 2020). In lamprey, these descending projections…
