Education
Do your graduate studies at the Department of Neuroscience
We encourage talented and enthusiastic young researchers to pursue a graduate degree (PhD) at the Department of Neuroscience.
We invite you to take contact to the laboratory in which you aim to conduct your thesis work and pursue funding opportunities together with the head of the laboratory group. See full list of researchers in the Department of Neuroscience here
