The University of Gothenburg invites applications for a PhD position in Medical Science focused on targeting astrocytes to improve outcomes in central nervous system (CNS) diseases. The project investigates cellular and molecular mechanisms of astrocyte dysfunction in neurodegeneration using mouse disease models, behavioral testing, and advanced tissue and omics analyses. The doctoral candidate will work within an international collaborative research environment to advance understanding of CNS pathology and contribute to future therapeutic strategies. Applicants should have a background in medical, biological, or molecular sciences and strong laboratory experience.
