2027 IBS–UniTo Neuroscience PhD Recruitment!

We are happy to share that the IBS–UniTo Avogadro Program is recruiting two PhD students in Neuroscience for 2027! One of these positions will be a joint research project between ABCD Lab at IBS and Prof. Annalisa Buffo's lab at the University of Turin (UniTo), Italy.

Our joint project, "Astrocyte Control of GABA Signaling in Developing and Mature Cerebellar Circuits," will investigate how astrocytes regulate GABA signaling and neuronal activity in the cerebellar nuclei. Working across both labs, the student will explore astrocyte–neuron interactions and circuit physiology at IBS, while investigating cellular and molecular mechanisms at UniTo, bringing these complementary perspectives together in one research project.

The collaboration between IBS and UniTo has continued to grow through recent scientific exchanges and visits. We are particularly glad to see these connections developing into new joint research opportunities. We look forward to welcoming an enthusiastic PhD student who is eager to dive into this project, exchange ideas across both labs, and enjoy doing science together!

Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Wuhyun Koh (IBS, whvankoh@ibs.re.kr) and Prof. Annalisa Buffo (UniTo, annalisa.buffo@unito.it) to learn more about the project.
