9 PhD fellowships in Neuroscience

The international PhD College SPIN – Signal Processing in Neurons announces 9 PhD fellowships in Neuroscience. The program is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and is jointly run by the Medical University of Innsbruck and the University of Innsbruck.

The signature feature of the SPIN PhD Program is its multidisciplinary interactions at the interface of molecular, system and clinical neuroscience. Our aim is to reach a new level of understanding of the fundamental integrative processes that govern the inter- and intraneuronal signaling under normal and pathological conditions. Training in SPIN is designed to enable young researchers to reach a level of excellence that will allow them to compete for the most attractive post-doc positions in academic and industrial environments. In order to obtain a PhD at our institution, students must carry out an experimental study and complete the courses in the PhD curriculum.
