PhD Position in Parkinson's Disease and Mechanobiology
Join the NEUROMECH Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Doctoral Network and pursue a fully funded PhD in Parkinson's disease using human iPSCs, brain organoids, CRISPR, mechanobiology, and functional genomics.
We are recruiting a highly motivatedPhD candidateto join Prof. Pier G. Mastroberardino's research group at the University of L'Aquila (Italy).
Our group investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying Parkinson's disease, with particular interests in genome maintenance, metabolism, cellular stress responses and neurodegeneration.
Recent work from our laboratory has been published e.g. in Nature Aging , Nature Communications , and Cell Death & Differentiation .
What you'll do
Investigate how mechanical forces contribute to Parkinson's disease using state-of-the- art human disease models, including:
patient-derived iPSCs
brain organoids
transcriptomics
International research secondments at leading European laboratories




Training in stem cell biology, mechanobiology, neurodegeneration, and functional genomics
Collaborative international research environment within the NEUROMECH consortium
Who can apply?
Applicants should have a background in neuroscience, cell biology, molecular biology, biotechnology, biomedical sciences, bioengineering, biophysics or related disciplines.
MSCA mobility rule applies
(see official call for details).
Please share this opportunity with MSc students, recent graduates, and anyone interested in pursuing an international PhD in Parkinson's disease research.
