European Training Network (ETN) NeuroTrans (NEUROtransmitter
TRANSporters: From single molecules to human pathologies)
announces 15 PhD candidate positions for Early-Stage
Researchers (ESRs) with the option of being awarded a
doctoral degree. NeuroTrans is an Innovative Training
Networks (ITN) from the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
Programme, funded by the European Commission under the
framework of Horizon 2020. The NeuroTrans ETN (Grant number
860954) will establish an international training programme
by forming a highly interdisciplinary team of world-leading
European researchers from 9 universities and 5 industrial
partners. NeuroTrans makes ample use of existing
cutting-edge methods to reach this goal, but also develops
enabling techniques in biophysics, molecular and structural
biology.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

accomplish our vision, NeuroTrans will establish an
interdisciplinary training school that includes most
important subdisciplines in quantitative biology, including
molecular modelling, computer simulations, biophysics,
biochemistry, neurobiology, human pathology, molecular and
structural biology, but also engineering and programming.
Through the training offered by NeuroTrans, PhD candidates
will develop a cutting edge set of skills ranging from
computer simulations to membrane protein structural biology,
dynamics and thermodynamics to human diseases, pathologies
and instrument development. By integration of the industrial
sector in the training, NeuroTrans will offer training in
entrepreneurship, product development and commercialisation
to prepare the NeuroTrans students for acquiring leading
positions in academia and industry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
