Doctoral thesis/Dissertation-University of Bern, Switzerland

The Department of Veterinary Anesthesiology at the Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Bern, has a doctoral position (Dr. med. vet.) available on the topic of “EEG Evaluation of Depth of Anesthesia under Propofol.”

Ensuring sufficient depth of anesthesia during general anesthesia is crucial for the success of the procedure and the well-being of the patient. Several methods based on electroencephalographic monitoring have been developed in humans. Leveraging our expertise in neurophysiology, our group is conducting several research projects to adapt and refine these methods for use in animals. By linking these measurement methods (pharmacodynamics) with the dosage of the anesthetic agent (pharmacokinetics), it is possible to better understand their effects.

The main task of the doctoral candidate will be to perform specific EEG analysis procedures and correlate them with Propofol dosages. Specifically, the aim is to link the dose of Propofol to its effects on the electroencephalogram of laboratory pigs.

The following references represent related research works: PMID-36174080; PMID-36952576; PMID-26275092.

Previous knowledge in EEG and neurophysiology is not required, and the work will be fully supervised. However, motivation to learn these methods will be crucial. Assistance with parallel research projects will be possible. We also offer the opportunity, if desired, to participate in our clinical training programs as much as possible.

Requirements:

• Completed degree in Veterinary Medicine;
• Scientific interest, particularly in pharmacology and mathematics;
• Good computer skills;
• Proficiency in English (for publication in international scientific journals).

Start date:
01.01.2024 or by agreement.

Employment according to the guidelines of the Swiss National Science Foundation (approximately 47,000 CHF gross annually), duration of 12 months. Interested? Please send your application documents (motivation letter, CV, certificates, references) in a PDF document via email to Prof. O. Levionnois, olivier.levionnois@unibe.ch.

Faculty Position in Veterinary Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine

The Department of Clinical Sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University invites applications for a tenure track faculty position in the Section of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine. Candidates must have a DVM or equivalent degree.  They should be board certified, or be considered board-eligible, by the American College of Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia or the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia. Salary, rank and title will be commensurate with academic credentials and experience. The successful candidate will join a Section that includes a minimum of five board-certified faculty members.  The Section supports robust preclinical and clinical research programs, provides excellent anesthesia and pain medicine services in a teaching and referral hospital, and maintains strong teaching and outreach programs.

The effort of the new faculty member will be distributed among clinical teaching and clinical service in the Cornell University Hospital for Animals (CUHA), research, and didactic and laboratory instruction of veterinary students and residents. The specifics of the effort distribution will be determined in accordance with Section needs, the academic priorities of the College, and the candidate’s areas of interest and expertise.

The successful candidate will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the body of knowledge that underpins the practice of veterinary medicine.  Experience in clinical research and/or preclinical research is desirable. Cornell fosters an environment that actively supports such research; it appoints mentors when necessary and provides infrastructure that helps obtain both internal and external funding for research.  There are extensive opportunities for collaborative research within the College and the University, including the Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences and the Cornell Tech campuses in New York city.

CUHA prioritizes patient care in a collegial environment that facilitates student and resident learning, and clinical research.  The successful candidate will have strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work cooperatively with other sections in the Hospital.

Apart from teaching through clinical service, the new faculty member will participate in the other teaching of the Section including lecture and laboratory-based teaching of DVM students and will participate in the biannual OSCE exams.  In line with their areas of expertise, they will also have the opportunity to participate in preclinical teaching in the veterinary curriculum; this might employ teaching modalities such as case-based learning.  Resident teaching is recognized as a part of the college’s mission, and Section of Anesthesia and Pain Medicine at Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences partners with the Section in an established resident exchange program.

Cornell University is a center for discovery, academic leadership, and service.  The College of Veterinary Medicine seeks to lead, enable, and inspire a healthier world for animals and people. Consistently ranked among the top veterinary schools in the world, the college is a global leader in outstanding multidisciplinary clinical and diagnostic services as well as exemplary animal care. The college produces a stream of scientific breakthroughs while also preparing students, veterinarians, and scientists to assume vital roles in scientific inquiry, local and global health, public policy and clinical, population, and diagnostic veterinary medicine.

Fully Funded PhD Opportunity

A PhD studentship is available in the Spinal Cord Group (SCG) at the University of Glasgow, researching the mammalian somatosensory nervous system.

The aim of this project is to better understand dog sensory neurons.
This will help us develop effective treatments for dogs in chronic pain and will also give crucial information that may help development of novel human analgesics. The project will have research and translational applications, which will both be explored during the PhD.

For further details and to apply Fully Funded Studentship – Single-Cell Transcriptomics of Canine Sensory Neurons at University of Glasgow on FindAPhD.com (https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/fully-funded-studentship-single-cell-transcriptomics-of-canine-sensory-neurons/?p156422)

Background

Animals sense their environment via a complex system of sensory neurons. These neurons include a class known as nociceptors that transduce painful stimuli. Newly developed advanced molecular techniques have revolutionised our ability to understand these cells.
In particular, the ability to measure RNA expression at the level of the single-cell has given us fascinating insight into the different types of sensory neurons and their likely role in helping us sense our environment.

We have an ever-increasing depth of understanding of the neurobiology of sensory neurons in rodents and humans, but our knowledge of the molecular architecture of the canine sensory system lags behind. This knowledge deficit limits our ability to apply novel therapeutics to the dog and the value of the dog as a translational model for chronic painful disease. This project aims to increase our understanding of canine sensory neurons using cutting-edge neuroscience techniques.

During the project the student will investigate canine sensory neurons using post-mortem tissue from companion animals. The studentship will involve a variety of experimental approaches including fluorescent-activated cell sorting, cell culture, immunohistochemistry, single-nucleus RNA sequencing & R-based bioinformatics, and fluorescent multiplexed in situ hybridisation.

The PhD will be based within the Spinal Cord Group at the Gilmorehill campus, and the successful candidate will work in a supportive and friendly environment alongside a number of other groups conducting pain and sensory neuroscience research. The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic about pain research with an interest in canine health and the value of the dog as a translational model. The project would be ideally suited to a veterinary surgeon with an interest in academic veterinary medicine, however applicants with other relevant degrees are also encouraged to apply. Informal enquires are welcome via email to Drs Bell or Weir.

Funding Notes

The scholarship is available as a full-time 3.5 year programme only.
The funding includes:
An annual tax-free stipend at the UKRI rate, currently £17,668 for non-veterinary graduates and £21,428 for veterinary graduates.
Fees at the standard home UK rate. EU/International fees are not included and hence the studentship can only be undertaken by UK domiciled students based on currently available funding.

Applicants must have or expect to obtain the equivalent of a 1st or 2:1 degree in any subject relevant to the studentship including, but not limited to, veterinary medicine, neuroscience, biology, molecular biology etc.
