Problèmes de santé mentale dans le champ d'application

Cet appel porte principalement sur les troubles liés à l'anxiété et aux traumatismes, définis ici comme incluant :

  • trouble anxieux généralisé
  • trouble panique
  • trouble d'anxiété sociale
  • tous les types de phobies
  • trouble obsessionnel compulsif
  • trouble de stress post-traumatique
  • trouble de stress aigu
  • symptômes diagnostiques trans fortement associés aux conditions ci-dessus (par exemple, hyperréactivité à la menace, pensées négatives répétitives, etc.).
Priorités de recherche
  • Une recherche qui tient compte de plusieurs niveaux d'explication
    • Les causes et les solutions des problèmes de santé mentale sont susceptibles d'impliquer une combinaison de facteurs biologiques, psychologiques et sociaux. Les approches intégrées sont donc cruciales pour comprendre les mécanismes causaux des problèmes de santé mentale.
    • Ils cherchent donc à financer des recherches qui examinent des questions à plus d'un niveau d'explication (par exemple, moléculaire, cellulaire, systémique, cognitif, comportemental, social, environnemental ou sociétal). Cela peut impliquer l'utilisation de différents modèles expérimentaux (par exemple, des modèles d'organoïdes et de rongeurs) et des participants humains ; cependant, ce n'est pas une exigence.
  • Recherche dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire 
    • Sans une meilleure compréhension de la façon dont ces problèmes se développent, persistent et se résolvent dans ces pays, ils ne pourront pas progresser vers la vision d'un monde dans lequel personne n'est freiné par des problèmes de santé mentale.
    • Ils cherchent donc à financer des recherches dans et/ou entre les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire, afin de mieux comprendre comment différents contextes peuvent avoir un impact sur la trajectoire des problèmes liés à l'anxiété.
Informations sur le financement
  • Projets de toute durée jusqu'à 5 ans
    • Les candidats doivent demander la durée du financement qui convient à leur projet.
  • Projets de tout budget jusqu'à 4 millions de livres sterling.
    • Il n'y a pas de montant moyen pour cet appel. Vous devriez demander le niveau de financement dont vous avez besoin pour la recherche que vous proposez.
Exemples d'autres éléments dans la portée

Les propositions de recherche peuvent :

  • Inclure des objectifs de recherche secondaires et des activités explorant comment les problèmes liés à l'anxiété précèdent ou se développent parallèlement à la dépression et/ou à la psychose (les deux d'intérêt stratégique pour Wellcome), mais cela ne peut pas être l'objectif principal de la proposition de recherche.
  • Examinez les interactions entre les différents facteurs de causalité.
  • Explorez plusieurs mécanismes pour un seul facteur causal.
  • Regardez comment les problèmes liés à l'anxiété se développent, persistent et se résolvent tout au long de la vie d'un individu.
  • Concentrez-vous sur des populations de tout âge, mais expliquez comment les connaissances auraient en fin de compte des implications pour une intervention précoce.
  • Concentrez-vous sur les symptômes transdiagnostiques des problèmes de santé mentale qui peuvent être ressentis par les personnes souffrant de problèmes liés à l'anxiété (par exemple, inquiétude persistante ou irritabilité).
  • Étudier les problèmes liés à l'anxiété dans le contexte d'autres conditions (par exemple, étudier comment le trouble anxieux généralisé se développe dans le contexte de l'autisme).
  • Concentrez-vous sur les populations sous-représentées et/ou sous-étudiées (par exemple, les enfants vivant avec une déficience intellectuelle, les communautés de minorités ethniques).
  • Mener des recherches comparatives (par exemple, comparer la façon dont le trouble de stress post-traumatique se développe dans les pays à revenu faible et/ou intermédiaire par rapport à un pays à revenu élevé).
Qui peut postuler ?
  • Vous pouvez postuler à cet appel si vous êtes une équipe de chercheurs :
    • de toute discipline pertinente
    • d'un organisme admissible
    • basé partout dans le monde (à l'exception de la Chine continentale )
  • Ils encouragent les candidatures de:
    • des équipes diversifiées et interdisciplinaires, avec des collaborations couvrant de multiples domaines d'expertise (par exemple, biologique, psychologique et social)
    • les chercheurs à n'importe quel stade de leur carrière, y compris les chercheurs en début de carrière et/ou ceux qui sont nouveaux dans le domaine des sciences de la santé mentale
  • Chaque candidature doit inclure l'expertise de l'équipe et le soutien organisationnel nécessaires pour répondre aux questions de recherche proposées. La contribution de chaque codemandeur (et collaborateur, le cas échéant) au projet doit être justifiée. Les équipes peuvent envisager d'impliquer des personnes ayant une expérience vécue de problèmes de santé mentale dans l'équipe de projet, en tant que candidats principaux, cocandidats et/ou collaborateurs.
  • Le demandeur principal doit :
    • Avoir l'expérience nécessaire pour conduire et diriger un projet de recherche collaboratif à grande échelle et/ou les structures de soutien nécessaires en place pour permettre cela.
    • Avoir une expérience de la gestion des personnes et de la recherche, selon le stade de leur carrière.
    • Avoir de l'expérience ou démontrer un engagement à diriger efficacement une équipe qui intègre l'expertise en expérience vécue, en fonction du projet de recherche.
  • Chaque co-candidat doit :
    • Être essentiel à la réalisation du projet et apporter une contribution significative, par exemple, à la conception de la recherche proposée et à la direction d'un volet spécifique du projet.
    • Démontrer l'engagement de l'équipe à intégrer efficacement l'expertise en expérience vécue, en fonction du projet de recherche.
  • Avoir une garantie d'espace de leur organisation administrante pour la durée de leur engagement dans le projet, mais n'ont pas besoin d'avoir un contrat permanent, à durée indéterminée ou à long terme.
  • Les collaborateurs peuvent également être inclus dans les candidatures. Ils se distinguent des cocandidats en ce sens qu'ils soutiendront la réalisation du projet mais ne dirigeront pas une composante spécifique de la recherche.
  • L'équipe:
    • L'équipe doit inclure toute l'expertise et les compétences techniques nécessaires pour mener à bien la recherche proposée, y compris l'expertise en matière d'expérience vécue et/ou les compétences nécessaires pour impliquer et collaborer efficacement avec des personnes ayant une expérience vécue.
    • L'équipe devra favoriser activement un environnement de recherche diversifié, inclusif et favorable au sein de l'équipe et dans les organisations représentées.
  • L'organisme peut être :
    • établissement d'enseignement supérieur
    • Institut de recherche
    • organisme de santé non universitaire
    • organisme de recherche à but non lucratif ou non gouvernemental
    • organisation commerciale
Inéligible
  • Vous ne pouvez pas postuler à cet appel si vous avez l'intention de mener des activités impliquant le transfert de fonds de subvention vers la Chine continentale.
  • Vous ne pouvez être candidat que sur un maximum de deux candidatures à cet appel de financement (quel que soit votre stade de carrière) :
    • Vous pouvez être demandeur principal pour une demande et codemandeur pour une autre.
    • Vous pouvez être codemandeur sur deux demandes.
  • Vous devez être en mesure de démontrer que vous pouvez consacrer suffisamment de temps et de ressources aux deux projets s'ils sont financés.

For the newly established Cluster for Nucleic Acid Therapeutics Munich (C-NATM), the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology at Technical University of Munich (TUM) is seeking a

Postdoctoral scientist (m/w/d) for RNA - therapeutics

starting at the earliest possible date.

Nucleic acid therapeutics are about to become a third pillar of medicine, next to synthetic small molecules and biologicals. To propel the development of nucleic-acid-based therapeutics and their translation to the clinic, we at TUM and our partner LMU founded the Cluster for Nucleic Acids Therapeutics Munich (CNATM) as part of the BMBF clusters4future program. CNATM started in 2023 and comprises 19 academic research groups and 16 industrial partners. It is our dedicated goal to develop nucleic-acid-based drugs for thus far insufficiently treatable diseases.

About the institute

The Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology (IPT) is part of the Medical Faculty at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), one of the leading universities worldwide and ranked 1st in Germany. Next to CNATM, we take the lead in the DFG-funded collaborative research center TRR267 “Non-coding RNA in the cardiovascular system”. The IPT is at the forefront of research on non-coding RNAs and the effects of their therapeutic manipulation in disease. We established the role of macrophage RNomes in cardiac and pulmonary disease (Science, 2023; Circulation, 2021) and developed ligand-coupled oligonucleotides for therapy (Nature Commun, 2023).

We are seeking:

  • To support the development of nucleic-acid-based drugs, we seek for early-career scientists (postdoctoral level) with excellent contributions to the field of nucleic acid research and therapy. A track record of ≥1 research articles (first or last authorship) in a renown peer-reviewed journal is required.
  • Applicants with strong educational background in RNA biology, chemistry/biochemistry and/or omics technologies (ideally with computational background in a Linux/Unix and R programming).
  • Candidates from related relevant fields, e.g. chemical synthesis of nucleic acids or CRISPR engineering, are also welcome to apply.

We offer

  • A highly productive research network of academic and industrial partners in one of the fastest developing and most fascinating fields of medicine.
  • An inspiring international work environment with strong on-topic expertise and scientific output of highest quality.
  • Established state-of-the-art research infrastructure and methodology, e.g. disease phenotyping, human iPS cell programming, light sheet microscopy and the entire experimental pipeline for next-generation sequencing from tissue or single-cells, including FACS-based cell separation
  • Excellent opportunities and support programs for your transition to group leadership and tenure track.

The position is initially limited to 3 years, with the option of prolongation. Salary will be according to level TVL-13.

Your application

The TUM aims to substantially increase diversity of its staff. As equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, the TUM explicitly encourages applications from women as well as from all others who would bring additional diversitydimensions to the university’s research and teaching strategies. Preference will be given to disabled candidates with essentially the same qualifications.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow (Dim Light project)

Tampere University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences create a unique environment for multidisciplinary, inspirational, and high-impact research and education. Our universities community has its competitive edges in technology, health, and society. Read more: www.tuni.fi/en

Faculty of Social Sciences at Tampere University invites applications for a fixed-term post-doctoral researcher position, starting as of 1 October 2023 (or as mutually agreed) until 31 August 2025.

The Faculty of Social Sciences hosts the project “A Dim Light of Dawn? Finnish Post-Cold War Experiences between east and West, 1989–1995” funded by the Research Council of Finland.

The project is part of the internationally renowned Research Council of Finland’s Centre of Excellence in the History of Experiences (HEX), which studies the history of experience: how human experiences are created, how they are interpreted and how they affect the individual's relationship with his or her community and society. The Dim Light project is part of HEX's Lived Nation research group that researches the history of experiences and emotions of nations and nationalism. For more information on HEX, see the webpage of the unit.

The Dim Light project offers a stimulating and inspiring working environment and excellent opportunities to develop skills and advance your research career in an international environment.

The Dim Light project explores the history of experiences in Finnish society in the early 1990s. One of the defining factors of social change is uncertainty about the future, which can be called a liminal experience. The idea of a liminal space is perhaps a more apt description of the post-Cold War experiences than the transition from one era or political reality to the next. The project analyses how post-Cold War uncertainties manifested themselves in the lives of citizens, how they tried to adapt to them and how citizens shared their experiences. The project approaches the topic through three themes: the Depression, neo-patriotism and European integration. The project combines the study of the history of experiences with research on the post-Cold War period. The project understands 'experience' as a social process in which individual and small group experiences linked to time and place are transformed into a shared narrative and understanding of events in society. For more information on the project, see the project presentation. For more information, see the description of the project.

Job description

The researcher's task is to investigate how European integration and the transformation of Finnish society are reflected in citizens' experiences, identities, and interpretations of the possible futures of the early 1990s. The post-Cold War period was marked by the debate on membership of the European Union and both public and private reflection on the changing "Finnishness" in the unfolding world. Finland's mental geography changed as the Baltic states and Russian part of Karelia opened to wider tourism. Alongside political debate and media discussions, the entertainment and other cultural products of the time contributed to the construction of the experience of the period.

The researcher's tasks include the collection and analysis of data and contributing to the theoretical perspectives of the project. Some of the data has already been collected. In addition, the candidate will be expected to contribute to the brainstorming on the other themes of the project, i.e. research on the 1990s’ recession and neo-patriotism, as these areas are expected to be in close dialogue with each other. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to influence the focus of their own research within the objectives of the Dim Light project.

The successful candidate will be expected to actively promote his/her research and publish the results of their research. They will also be expected to participate in the project's research team and activities at HEX and to present their research results at seminars and academic conferences in their field.

Requirements

To be eligible for the post of post-doctoral researcher, candidates must have a PhD in history or an appropriate field by the closing date for applications. The successful candidate will be expected to be able to carry out high-quality, independent scientific research. The candidate must have excellent analytical and methodological skills and be able to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a research team.

We require a background in qualitative research in history or an appropriate field. Knowledge of digital humanities would be an advantage. In addition to Finnish, applicants are expected to have excellent written and oral English language skills. Please be prepared to provide evidence of your qualifications on request.

We offer

The position is a fixed-term contract for the period 1 October 2023–31 August 2025 in accordance with the university pay scale for teaching and research staff.

The post of post-doctoral researcher will be at levels 5–6. The typical starting salary is between 3500e and 3800e/month. The employment relationship is governed by the Employment Contracts Act six-month probationary period.

We offer a wide range of staff benefits, such as occupational health care, flexible working hours, excellent sports facilities on campus and several restaurants and cafés on campus with staff discounts. Please read more about working at Tampere University.

How to apply

Applications should be written in Finnish or in English and submitted electronically via the Tampere University’s electronic recruitment system (link below). The closing date for applications is 31/08/2023 (at 23:59 EET/UTC +3). The interviews of the top candidates will be held in September.

The following documents should accompany your application:

(1) Curriculum Vitae according to TENK guidelines.

(2) List of publications according to Academy of Finland guidelines.

(3) Preliminary research proposal (max. 3 pages) consisting of

i. a description of previous research experience (such as PhD thesis);

The (static) architecture of HPC systems limits their usefulness to a few selected application, as the ideal topology for applications requiring large bisection bandwidth differs from the one needed for more localized workloads – leading to mediocre performance when executing dynamic applications. Furthermore, the network typically only extends between nodes, and does not form an integral part of the compute nodes themselves, i.e. the Network-on-Chip used within the compute nodes is not co-optimized with the global interconnect network. In this position, you will investigate how principles of Software-defined networking and time-sensitive networking can improve the performance of these large-scale systems.

What you will do

HPC systems often use complex low-diameter network topologies, to balance network bandwidth, latency and construction cost. The interconnection between the thousands of nodes in such a system is recognized as an important performance bottleneck. The (static) architecture of HPC systems limits their usefulness to a few selected applications, as the ideal topology for applications requiring large bisection bandwidth differs from the one needed for more localized workloads – leading to mediocre performance when executing dynamic applications.

Furthermore, the network typically only extends between nodes, and does not form an integral part of the compute nodes themselves, i.e., the Network-on-Chip used within the compute nodes is not co-optimized with the global interconnect network. In this position, you will investigate how principles of Software-defined networking and time-sensitive networking can improve the performance of these large-scale systems, from a theoretical perspective, but also from a practical implementation standpoint. As it is an integral part of the architecture of a system, multi-disciplinary interactions with people developing the software programming models, IC architecture and system performance models are expected.

This project is an initiative of the Compute Systems Architecture Unit (CSA). The CSA unit researches emerging workloads and their performance on large-scale supercomputer architectures for next-generation Artificial Intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. The team is responsible for algorithm research, runtime management innovations, performance modeling, architecture simulation and prototyping for these future applications and the future systems to execute them, to reach multiple orders of magnitude better performance, energy-efficiency, and total-cost-of-ownership.

Our Laboratory for Functional Polymers offers a PhD position in the field of

Plasmonic nanoparticle-enhanced near-infrared organic light-emitting diodes.
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that emit in the visible are a proven technology. In contrast, OLEDs that emit in the near-infrared (NIR) range have remained a fundamental scientific challenge. The reason for this is that the photoluminescence quantum yield of organic dyes decreases exponentially as the emission shifts to longer wavelengths – the so-called energy gap law. In this project, we aim to circumvent the emission limitations of NIR dyes by employing a fine-tuned plasmonic enhancement strategy. The project takes place in a highly interdisciplinary environment and involves partner laboratories dedicated to chemical synthesis and theoretical calculations. The potential impact of high-performing NIR-OLEDs is huge, with untapped next generation applications in through-space optical communications, machine vision or medical imaging.

PhD position in the field of next level OLEDs (a)

Your tasks

  • Structural and optical characterization of dye-at-nanoparticle emitter films
  • Fabrication and characterization of NIR-OLEDs
  • Optimization of NIR-OLEDs, supported by opto-electrical device simulation

Your profile We are looking for a highly motivated candidate who wants to pursue cutting-edge research at world-class level. Required qualifications include a Master's degree in physics or materials science with a solid background in physics. Experience with organic/hybrid film device fabrication, OLED characterization and photoluminescence spectroscopy is advantageous. We are looking for a curiosity driven team player with excellent English communication and writing skills.

Our offer

We offer a highly interdisciplinary environment and close partnership between Empa (synthesis of NIR dyes, OLED fabrication), ETHZ (synthesis of nanoparticles) and EPFL (theoretical foundations). Located in the Zürich area, the Swiss Federal Institute for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) offers outstanding infrastructure, a broad interdisciplinary environment and competitive salaries. The position is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and is planned for a duration of 4 years. The official project start is October 2023. This fulltime position is available upon agreement. The PhD candidate will be integrated in the doctoral program of EPF Lausanne. Thesis advisor is Prof. Frank Nüesch.

«a» stands for «all» in our job advertisements. We live a culture of inclusion and respect. We welcome all people who are interested in innovative, sustainable and meaningful activities. That's what counts - not age, gender, origin, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

We look forward to receiving your complete online application including a letter of motivation, CV, certificates, diplomas and contact details of two reference persons. Please submit these exclusively via our job portal. Applications by e-mail and by post will not be considered.

PhD Student in plant macroevolution and -ecology 100%

as part of a large SNSF (ERC) Advanced Grant project (Predicting hotspots of climate change impacts on ecosystems from an eco-evolutionary biome framework). This project aims at (1) defining and mapping global biomes, (2) projecting global change impacts on biomes, and (3) testing a novel eco-evolutionary biome theory. As part of this large effort, you will test novel theoretical foundations relevant to global biomes. First, you will assess to what degree biomes differ regarding evolutionary biome conservatism. Second, you will study the evolution of biome-typical functional plant traits and the relationship of the timing of trait evolution and biome conservatism. Finally, you will contribute to assess the linkage of the evolutionary history of biomes to biotic and abiotic stress tolerance of biome-dominant plants. The project will be carried out in an interdisciplinary team at WSL and in close cooperation with nine international partners. It will contain fieldwork to test spatial model predictions from a novel biome mapping pipeline on four different continents. The main place of work will be the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL in Birmensdorf, Switzerland. You hold an MSc degree in macroevolution, evolutionary ecology, bioinformatics or a related field, and you have knowledge in plant phylogenetics, phylogenetic comparative methods and in the handling, processing and analysis of large phylogenies. You have experienced in the building (and dating) of phylogenies (e.g. using RevBayes, BEAST2, etc.). Further assets are expertise in macroecology and/or functional ecology, and experience coding and scripting languages (e.g. R, Python), in cluster computing, machine learning or artificial intelligence. The capability to develop new ideas independently is necessary, as are very good English skills (both written and oral). You are a curious, self-reliant person who is also an excellent team worker and values cooperation.

Please upload your complete application to Beatrice Lamprecht, Human Resources WSL, through our webpage. Applications via email will not be considered. The application should include: 1) a cover letter with a statement about your motivation to work for this project and your vision for the future of your career; 2) a curriculum vitae including (if applicable) the list of publications or MSc thesis topic and abstract; 3) copies of your academic qualifications (i.e. diplomas); and 4) names and contact information of 3 academic references.

Applications will be considered until the position is filled, but we will start evaluating applicants by late August. Niklaus Zimmermann will be happy to answer any questions or offer further information. The WSL strives to increase the proportion of women in its employment, which is why qualified women are particularly called upon to apply for this position.
