We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates with a Master degree in the Biomedical field, interested in pursuing a PhD in Neuroscience in the laboratory of Dr. Aixa Morales at the Cajal Institute.
The candidate will work in adult and developmental neurogenesis in the hippocampus and will use different models and techniques, including region?specific knockout mice, genome?wide analysis, neurospheres culture and animal behavioral test.
Requisites:
– To have an academic record above 7.8 (scale 1?10).
– Research experience in Molecular Biology and mouse models will be valued.
– The candidate will apply for the FPU fellowships from the recent call on
