Description of the research topic:

We seek outstanding PhD candidates who are interested in exploring the cognitive ageing of family dogs. We are developing a behavioural test battery using an interdisciplinary approach with behavioural, genetic and neuroscience testing methods in both longitudinal and cross-sectional studies. The results are expected to aid our understanding of pathologies associated with human cognition during ageing, to create guidelines for a healthy lifestyle toward successful ageing, and to pave the way for the development of therapies and preventive methods to increase welfare. The project is funded by an ERC Starting Grant.

Required language skills: fluent English (at least B2)
Further requirements:
MSc degree in biology or a related topic; motivation, experience in the study of behaviour is an advantage
