Departments of Neuroscience and Neurosurgery PhD Position
The departments of Neuroscience and Neurosurgery of Maastricht
University have a PhD position available for the duration of three
years. Our research group is part of the European Graduate School of
Neuroscience (EURON) and focuses on the neuronal mechanisms of
electrical brain stimulation (deep brain stimulation) of basal ganglia
targets in clinical and experimental neurological and psychiatric
disorders (PNAS, 2007;104(43):17087-92./ Curr Biol 2008;18(10):412-14).
We are seeking a highly motivated student to work on the behavioural,
electrophysiological and neurochemical effects of deep brain
stimulation of basal ganglia structures in a transgenic rat model of
Huntington’s disease. Position is available starting March
2010.
Applicants are encouraged to apply from any area of biological and
psychological sciences. The applicant should ideally have a strong
interest in experimental work and innovative research, and should be
hard working, creative and independent. Our department offers a young
and motivated team, excellent methodological expertise, multiple
international collaborations and a stimulating first class scientific
environment.
