INSTITUTE FOR NEUROSCIENCES (IN)


Period of enjoyment: from January 2027 to December 2027.

 

Institute for Neurosciences’ mission is to achieve a fundamental understanding of the development, structure and function of the nervous system under normal and pathological conditions. Our research will contribute to a society with fewer mental and neurological disorders, healthier aging and fulfilling lives.

 

Research proposals sent to IN must be related to:

  • Building and adapting circuits into functional neural networks
  • Cellular plasticity in brain disease and repair
  • Genetic and epigenetic bases of individuality and aging
  • Neural stem cells regulation and differentiation
  • Neurobiology of pain and inflammation
  • Synaptic modulation of neural circuits and behavior
  • Translational research of neurological and psychiatric disorders

Candidates are asked to contact the group leaders directly and agree on a research project of mutual interest before submitting their application. This done, the IN’s Internationalisation Unit will be happy to issue the “letter of confirmation” that should be attached to the application.

 

Should you have any questions regarding the research proposal or the host institution, you may also contact the IN’s Internationalisation Unit (Dr Julio Barbas,  jbarbas@umh.es)

Proposals must be tailored to the research areas and groups of IN. General proposals or duplicated proposals will not be considered.

 

Location: Av. Santiago Ramón y Cajal s/n, 03550 San Juan de Alicante, Alicante.
