Fully-funded PhD student opportunities in neuroscience the UK, in Clara Ferreira or Wolf Huetteroth groups: (update: Wolf is here @wolfhuette )

"We have two 4-year competitively attributed, fully-funded, PhD studentships in Drosophila neuroscience available in Newcastle-upon-Tyne"

"We are a growing Drosophila neuroscience community at Northumbria University (currently two groups) with long-standing collaborations with Portugal and Germany, and strong local ties to Newcastle and Durham Universities, reflected in the available PhD projects."

"Please get in touch for an informal chat if you are interested (Project 1: clara.ferreira@northumbria.ac.uk; Project 2: wolf.huetteroth@northumbria.ac.uk) and/or forward this to anyone you think might want to apply."

Project 1: Comparative approaches to understand the evolution of the neuronal basis of defence behaviours in Drosophila. Collaboration with Prof Marion Silies (Mainz University, Germany) and Prof Alistair McGregor (Durham University)

Project 2: Play in Insects - genetic and neurobehavioural characterisation of carousel-seeking flies. Collaboration with Dr Vivek Nityananda (Newcastle University)

"we examined the funding and publication history of a cohort of investigators who began their first academic faculty position between 2009 and 2019, and we interviewed several senior academic leaders with extensive experience in hiring new faculty. Our data show that <11% of newly hired faculty had a K99/R00 award and that neither prior funding nor papers in prestigious journals were necessary to obtain a tenure-track faculty position."

"Interviews with academic leaders almost uniformly referred to critically important factors that were considered to be more important in the hiring process than funding or publishing in high-profile journals."

Jobs! Together with colleagues I'm hiring a PhD to work on the computing for the LHC for the future (on high performance computing, a key aspect of #particlephysics and also interesting on the #computerscience side)
