We are looking for a highly motivated PhD student to join our research on epigenetics in Alzheimer’s!

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our lab of neuroepigenetics at EPFL (http://graefflab.epfl.ch/).

The main focus of the lab are the cellular and molecular underpinnings of learning and memory, with a particular focus on cognitive disorders such as PTSD and Alzheimer's Disease. 

For this position, we are looking for a person interested in working on epigenetic dysfunctions in Alzheimers' disease. The highly motivated candidate should come with a background, ideally, in molecular and behavioral neuroscience. Applicants with different backgrounds are welcome to apply too, but should be willing to learn new techniques and have convincing complementary skills.

The starting date for this position is mid-2017, with some flexibility towards later start dates.

If you are interested, contact us (@ [email protected]) with your CV, your list of publications, a letter of motivation outlining your research interests and why you want to join the lab, as well as the contact details of three references.
