No Offer Description CALL FOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP The University of Coimbra opens a call for one research fellowship in the framework of the La Caixa Foundation Postdoctoral Junior Leader Fellowships – Call 2022 project "Deciphering the neonatal shift in neurovascular coupling: a multimodal approach" (reference: 116303), financed by Fundación Bancaria Caixa d'Estalvis I Pensiones de Barcelona, in the following conditions: Scientific area: Neurosciences, biology, physiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, Bioengineering, Biomedical Sciences, Medicine or life sciences.
Skills/Qualifications/Admission requirements: Candidates should have a Master degree in the Life Sciences or similar areas (Neurosciences, biology, physiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, Bioengineering, Biomedical Sciences, Medicine, etc.
), and must be enrolled in a course that does not confer an academic degree.
According to the RBI in paragraph 5 of article 6, it only admits BI attributions to graduates and masters enrolled in cycles of study that do not confer an academic degree who have not exceeded two years to be fulfilled in different scholarship contracts.
Work plan/Objectives: The candidate will be working on projects centered around brain vascular biology and neurogliovascular unit development.
The primary focus of the position is to assist research related to a La Caixa funded project to identify the origins of the developmental shift in Neurovascular Coupling.
We want to understand when and why the cerebrovascular system starts to respond to neuronal activation during the neonatal period, with particular attention on the astrocytic end feet development and maturation.
This aim will be achieved through a multidisciplinary team with cutting-edge methodologies (fMRI, photoacoustic, multiphoton microscopy, and mass spectroscopy) to study neonatal brain development in the living mouse
