We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The successful candidate will be part of the Department of Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience and will work on a project investigating the molecular processes that control synapse nanostructure and function.
Key Responsibilities:
- Investigate the molecular processes that control synapse nanostructure and function using various techniques, including CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing, super-resolution microscopy, optogenetics, and whole-cell patch clamp electrophysiology.
- Perform and analyze microscopy and electrophysiology data.
- Publish research findings in peer-reviewed journals and provide progress reports to funding sources.
- Contribute to teaching activities, including supervision of BSc and/or MSc students during internships.
- Present research findings to the international research community.
Requirements:
- A Master's degree in life sciences, biomedical sciences, or biophysics with neuroscience specialization.
- Hands-on experience with molecular and cellular neuroscience, preferably with prior experience in molecular biology, live-cell fluorescence microscopy, and/or electrophysiology.
- Fluency in English (written and spoken) and good communication skills.
What We Offer:
- A challenging position in a socially engaged organization.
- A salary of € 2,872.00 (PhD) and maximum € 3,670.00 (PhD) gross per month in the fourth year, for a full-time employment.
