From Lucy.Fea at crick.ac.uk Thu Feb 6 15:58:23 2025 From: Lucy.Fea at crick.ac.uk (Lucy Fea) Date: Thu, 6 Feb 2025 15:58:23 +0000 Subject: [Lfm] February LFM Message-ID: Dear all, The February LFM will be next week on Wednesday 12 February at 5.30pm. It will be a hybrid event (see zoom link below). If you are attending in person, please arrive between 5.15 and 5.30pm. You will first need to check in with the security desk near the seminar rooms, who will have your name on a guest list if you are subscribed to the LFM mailing list. Any attendees not subscribed will need to grab one of the Crick scientists who will be waiting at the entrance, and they will then help take you through security.

We will use the fruit-fly Drosophila as a model organism to investigate how the brain responds to life stressors, using behavioural neurogenetics of adult flies. Molecular and cell biology, laser scanning confocal microscopy, imaging, optogenetics, neural circuit manipulation and analysis will also be used. We will discover and test underlying molecular and circuit mechanisms that regulate structural brain plasticity and degeneration, linking molecules to cells, neural circuits, neurites, synapses and behaviour. This post is for three years and is integrated into a larger project within a Wellcome Trust funded research programme led by Professor A Hidalgo into brain plasticity and degeneration. You will work together with two other post-docs and PhD students, as a team, to discover molecular, cellular, circuit and behavioural bases of how the brain changes as we go through life. This project builds on our previous findings e.g. Li et al 2020 eLife 9:e52743; Sun et al 2024 eLife 13:RP102222. Our discoveries will contribute to understanding the structural basis of brain function and mental health. This post is at the Centre for Neurogenetics and School of Biosciences, in the beautiful University of Birmingham campus (United Kingdom), in the heart of the lively and multicultural city of Birmingham.

The selected Awardee will deliver a keynote presentation at the European Drosophila Research Conference (EDRC) in Alicante (September 25-28, 2025) and receive a ?1000 prize. The conference fee, accommodation and travel expenses will be covered. For the current call, nominees must have completed and defended their PhD work in the calendar years 2023 and 2024. This means that the oral PhD Thesis defence must have taken place between January 1st, 2023, and December 31st, 2024. I encourage you to submit nominations for your outstanding PhD students and share this information with your colleagues and potential candidates. The deadline for the nomination is February 28, 2025. To submit a nomination, please use the following email: edsprize at gmail.com.
