We are looking for someone who has or will soon defend their thesis, with previous education in statistics, data processing and/or bioinformatics, to contribute to research on brain diseases. You will work relatively independently as a postdoc, in a group conducting research on Parkinson's disease and other alpha-synucleinopathies, such as multiple system...

Project description and working tasks Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved self-eating process mainly purposed to eliminate or recycle dysfunctional cellular organelles or unused proteins. Autophagy plays an important role in development and ageing and has been associated with diverse human diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration and pathogen...

Project description Single bacterial genomics and transcriptomics holds a great promise of improving our understanding of the microbiology world, discovering new enzymatic activities, or identifying the antibiotic resistance amongst others. Bacterial populations exhibit significant heterogeneity, allowing distinct cell subgroups to thrive in diverse...

Project description This Fellowship will be part of the Co-Creating Better Blue Programme recently funded by MISTRA which aims to develop ecosystem-based management processes where decisions are based on sustainability and democracy. The project's vision is to steer developments towards a more sustainable, open and democratic blue economy involving...

Project description Interventions to promote lifelong learning show promising results but are hampered by large individual differences in response. It is evident that we need to rethink the premises of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to better predict who will benefit from which intervention. As a first step in this process we sought to utilize existing...
