Fully-funded PhD student opportunities in neuroscience the UK, in Clara Ferreira or Wolf Huetteroth groups: (update: Wolf is here @wolfhuette )
"We have two 4-year competitively attributed, fully-funded, PhD studentships in Drosophila neuroscience available in Newcastle-upon-Tyne"
"We are a growing Drosophila neuroscience community at Northumbria University (currently two groups) with long-standing collaborations with Portugal and Germany, and strong local ties to Newcastle and Durham Universities, reflected in the available PhD projects."
"Please get in touch for an informal chat if you are interested (Project 1: clara.ferreira@northumbria.ac.uk; Project 2: wolf.huetteroth@northumbria.ac.uk) and/or forward this to anyone you think might want to apply."
