PhD position in Neuroscience at the Center for Neurosciences (C4N)
Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy
Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB)
Position: Ph.D. Student
Deadline: 31 July 2024
Employment Start Date: 1 November 2024
Contract Length: 4 years
Location: Brussels, Belgium
The current prevalence of hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating is conservatively estimated at 6%. Despite
profound effects on sufferers’ wellbeing due to myriad symptoms including but not limited to anxiety,
depression, fatigue, itch, and orthostatic intolerance, about half of these patients are unaware that
hyperhidrosis is a medical condition related to the autonomic nervous system. To investigate the
pathogenesis of hyperhidrosis, we initiated a large-scale exome sequencing project consisting of an
unprecedented pool of hyperhidrosis patients and identified mutations in a neuronal transcription
factor as clinically relevant. To investigate the involvement of these genes in hyperhidrosis, we are
creating a realistic animal model in which therapeutics can be tested. By doing so, we expect to
generate pioneering insights into the relationship between dysautonomia and hyperhidrosis which, in
turn, can help lay the foundation for dramatically improving the quality of life of these patients.
For this project, we are seeking a highly qualified student holding an M.Sc. or equivalent degree
with a background in one or several of the following fields: Neuroscience, (Neuro)biology, Biomedical
Sciences, Medicine, or Biophysics. Preference will be given to an enthusiastic student with hands-on
experience in ex vivo (cell/slice) electrophysiology and/or mouse neuroanatomy. An additional
expectation is that the student is a critical thinker, is open to learning multiple techniques including
machine-learning approaches, and has an abundance of motivation to make the project a success.
For more than 50 years, the Vrije Universiteit Brussel has stood for freedom, equality and solidarity, and
this is very much alive on our campuses among students and staff alike. At the VUB, you will find a
diverse collection of personalities, but above all people who are 100% their authentic selves. With some
4,000 employees, we are the largest Dutch-speaking employer, in the private sector, in Brussels; an
international city with which we are only too happy to connect and where (around) our 4 campuses are
located. Add to this our principle of free research - in which self-reflection, a critical attitude and an
open, creative mind around scientific and social issues are central - and you have a university that is
fundamentally groundbreaking and pioneering in education and research.

Postdoctoral Position to Study KCNMA1-Linked Channelopathy Click here for a PDF version of this announcement Our research focuses on how ion channels regulate information coding in the brain and muscles (meredithlab.org). We combine the genetic manipulation of ion channel function with cellular to whole animal ex vivo and in vivo electrophysiology and physiology. Two recent goals of the lab are to identify the fundamental biophysical properties of BK channels that cause neurological disease and that underlie circadian time in the brain’s central clock. Techniques in the lab center around multi-level electrophysiological recordings: voltage- and current-clamp, multi-electrode array, and EEG/EMG/ECG telemetry from heterologous cells, neurons, acute brain slices, organotypic cultures, and from awake, behaving animals. For this NIH-funded postdoctoral position, we are seeking a highly motivated team-player to contribute to our studies of a new neuromuscular channelopathy defined by mutations in KCNMA1, the gene encoding the large conductance Ca2+-activated BK channel. The project involves investigating human mutations and their impact on excitability in heterologous cells and neuronal models. See our recent publications:
