Postdoctoral fellow or PhD student position with Dr. Anastassia Voronova (University of Alberta, Canada)
One of the fundamental questions in neurobiology focuses on how brain is built and regenerated. Deficient oligodendrocytes and myelin are implicated in the pathobiological mechanisms of a variety of neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis and neurodevelopmental disorders. Conversely, restoration of normal oligodendrocytes and/or myelin is an attractive therapeutic target. The Voronova lab studies oligodendrocyte development…

Mouse functional neurogenetics of rare diseases – Université de Montréal
Project Overview Since 2020, we have collaborated with a patient association with whom we have discovered new genetic variations in a gene that had never before been implicated in neurological diseases. We have access to patient cells and have generated numerous lossof- function models in this gene: KO mouse model, humanized mouse model, conditional KO…

Graduate student and post-doctoral positions: Neural basis of motor learning and performance, McGill University
The Sakata lab at McGill University is looking for motivated graduate (PhD) students and postdoctoral fellows to investigate the contribution of perineuronal nets (PNNs) and parvalbumin (PV) neurons in motor circuitry to motor performance and learning (see PDF). This CIHR-funded research program is comparative, involving experiments in songbirds (zebra finches) and mice, and conducted in…

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…
