[France] Postdoctoral Position in Neurophysiology at Paris Descartes University A 3-year postdoctoral position funded by the "Agence Nationale de la Recherche" (ANR) will be available in January 2011 to join an INSERM-CNRS unit of Paris Descartes University. The hosted group entitled "Neuron-Glia Interactions" led by Etienne Audinat is also affiliated to the "Paris School of Neuroscience" network of excellence. A current objective of the group is to elucidate the role of microglial cells, the resident macrophages of the CNS, in different physiological and pathological conditions. The present project is focused on the role of microglia in epilepsy. The team has recently described changes in microglial cell functional properties in a model of status epilepticus (Avignone et al. 2008; Menteyne et al. 2009) and the postdoctoral fellow will analyze the impact of microglia activation on neuronal survival and activity in this model. The project combines different approaches, including in vitro and in vivo electrophysiology, imaging, molecular biology and histochemistry and is conducted in collaboration with the groups of Valentin Nägerl (Bordeaux University, France), Stephane Auvin (Robert Debré Hospital, Paris, France) and Bruno Lucas (Cochin Institute, Paris, France).

[Italy] Various PhD Scholarships Available at IMT Lucca

Doctoral Programs Competitions for admission are open in the following Ph.D. Programs at IMT:
Computer Science and Engineering
The doctoral program aims at preparing researchers and professionals with a wide knowledge about the foundations of informatics and about its applications to a variety of systems and disciplines, focusing on aspects of particular importance in the present context. The new version of informatics is changing the perspective of other disciplines and several aspects of common life, and is the target of very active research in the international scene.
Economics, Markets, Institutions
The program aims at dealing with issues in political economy, applied public economics, the functioning of industries and markets, the impact of macroeconomics on productivity and growth. A distinctive feature of the Ph.D. program is the integration of theoretical, technical, and practical expertise, aimed to educate highly qualified professionals, who analyze, plan, and manage concrete interventions of political economy. Theoretical methodologies and models are generated and tested, through the systematic investigation of the real world, with a distinctive focus on concrete observation of markets and their actors. At the end of the program, students are able to identify commonalities as well as distinctive characters of economies, markets, and industries.
