3. Fully Funded PhD Position in German linguistics
Summary of PhD Program:
The project “BOND: Birth of new dialects? – Swiss German in traditional Romansh areas”, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, examines the emergence of new Swiss German dialects in the traditional area of the Romansh varieties Sutsilvan and Sursilvan. The project lies at the interface of dialectology, language and dialect contact research, sociolinguistics and grammar research. The aim of the project is, on the one hand, to close a gap in dialectological research and, on the other hand, to expand existing work on new dialect formation by examining grammatical phenomena.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Interaction of GLP-1 and Amylin agonists in the control of eating
Summary of PhD Program:
The massive rise in obesity rates is mainly due to changes in lifestyle, in particular increased caloric intake. Promising emerging therapies rely on the combination of gut hormones and their agonists. To pursue important questions regarding pharmacotherapy using GLP-1 and amylin agonists, we offer an attractive position in a collaborative project with another university in Europe and a US based university. The experimental work of this project will combine in vivo approaches with analyses at the cellular and subcellular level to resolve the mechanisms mediating the actions of GLP-1 and amylin agonists. This project will use a large array of behavioral experiments in rats and mice.
Application Deadline: 15.08.2024
