Two group leader positions in Molecular and Translational Neuroscience are available at the Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience - DANDRITE of the Nordic EMBL Partnership for Molecular Medicine.
DANDRITE seek two group leaders in neuroscience to establish independent research programs that ideally both exploit and complement the expertise and research programs of current groups. Research programs can for example investigate protein-protein interaction networks in cell biology underlying intra- or intercellular signaling and function in the normal and diseased brain using advanced tools of e.g., imaging, chemical biology, single cell technologies, genetics, proteomics and bioinformatics. Group leaders are expected to introduce novel topics and tools, strengthen synergies of on-going DANDRITE research, and build a program at international level that can support also collaborations of interdisciplinary and translational neuroscience at NeuroCampus Aarhus and within Danish neuroscience.
The group leader program follows the EMBL model with a 5-year appointment and the possibility for a 4-year extension for a total of 9 years depending on a review concluding in the fourth year.

Center for Music in the Brain (MIB) invites applications for up to two and a half positions at the level of Professor or Associate Professor in the field of Neuroscience. MIB is situated at the Department of Clinical Medicine at Faculty of Health at Aarhus University (AU). The positions are full-time (37 h/w) positions, but part time appointments could be considered. The positions are permanent positions and are expected to commence on 1 June 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter.
The Danish National Research Foundation’s Center for Music in the Brain is an interdisciplinary research center at Aarhus University and the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus/Aalborg, Denmark (RAMA) aiming to address the dual questions of how music is processed in the brain and how this can inform our understanding of fundamental principles behind brain functioning in general. With a strong foundation in music practice and theory at the highest level and a focus on the clinical application of music, MIB combines neuroscientific, musicological and psychological research in music perception, action, emotion and learning with the potential to test prominent theories of brain function and to influence the way we play, teach, use and listen to music.

The Nykjaer Lab at DANDRITE - The Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience - and Center of Excellence PROMEMO at Department of Biomedicine, Aarhus University, is seeking an enthusiastic and talented postdoctoral fellow to study synapse biology in mental health, memory, and associated diseases as per the 1st of April 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is a 2-year full-time position, with possibility for extension
Our research focuses on the family of sortilin/Vps10p receptors that controls neuronal cell fate, neurodevelopment, circuit formation, and synapse biology. Having pioneered this field, we found that sortilin receptors are critical regulators of cellular signaling and trafficking, and are functionally associated with neuropsychiatric disorders and impaired memory.
The successful candidate will be part of a vibrant, international reasearch team and work on a project aiming to understand how sortilin/Vps10p receptors control mental health and memory acquisition and consolidation. Main techniques employed will include cell biology, in vivo calcium imaging, fiberphotometry for detection of neurotransmitter release, single-cell RNA sequencing, and mouse behaviour.

The Department of Biomedicine and DANDRITE at Faculty of Health at Aarhus University invites applications for a position as Postdoc in the field of cellular neurodegenerative disease modeling as per 1 February 2021 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is a 1-year full-time position with possibility for extension.
About the research project
You will be part of a team focusing on developing drug-like molecules based on the structure of cyclopiazonic acid that can inhibit the calcium pump SERCA and protect neurons against the stress of aggregated alpha-synuclein. The focal area of the candidate will be cellular disease modeling and cellular stress responses with a special emphasis on transcriptional responses. The candidate will also be responsible for the cellular testing of compounds. In this context, it is important that the candidate is experienced in quantitative mRNA analyses (qPCR), cellular disease modeling (it do not have to be neurodegenerative diseases), quantitative plate-reader based assays, immunofluorescence microscopy and image analysis. Your research team will reside within the DANDRITE neuroscience center.
Application deadline is 15 November.
The laboratory of Dr. Nabavi at the Danish Research Institute of Translational Neuroscience – DANDRITE is recruiting master students for a project investigating the circuit and synaptic mechanisms underlying forgetting, as well as behavioral consequence of manipulation of the identified circuits.
Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Science and Technology, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Molecular Biology and Genetics programme. The position is available from 1 August 2020 or later.
Title: Structural basis for the role of complement in neurodegenerative disease
Research area and project description:
The project takes place within the BRAINSTRUC centre funded by the Lundbeck Foundation. It involves interdisciplinary structure-function studies involving Danish and international collaborators. The PhD student will use X-ray crystallography, cryo electron microscopy and tomography to investigate how proteins from the complement system function in the central nervous system and contribute to neurodegenerative disease. Nanobody technology will be used to promote structural studies and to establish new putative therapeutic strategies.
Qualifications and specific competences:
Applicants should have a MSc degree in a relevant field of molecular biology, biomedicine or nanotechnology. Interest in neurobiology and prior experience with protein purification, biophysical characterization, and structural analysis are advantageous. Applicants must demonstrate abilities to analyse data critically and propose experiments to tackle a given research questions. Clear communications skills in oral and written English are also required.

We are looking for a student assistant who can support NeuroCampus Aarhus with administrative and communicative tasks approx. 8 hours per week.
A position is available at our department to investigate important questions in neurobiology. The research should address basic and translational aspects of neurobiology and may focus on molecular functions, pathways and networks (intracellular, membrane-associated, and extracellular), and how they link to neuronal circuits and other multicellular networks in brain, define sensory processing and computation in brain, and link to behaviour and brain disorders. Interdisciplinary approaches will be considered favourably as will particular methods of key relevance mastered at an internationally leading level.
