Project Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to investigate the molecular processes that control synapse nanostructure and function in the context of memory formation. The successful candidate will work in a dynamic and international research environment, utilizing cutting-edge techniques such as CRISPR/Cas9-based tools, super-resolution microscopy, optogenetics, and electrophysiology.
Key Responsibilities
- Investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying synapse nanostructure and function using various techniques.
- 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 at international conferences.
Requirements
- Master's degree in life sciences, biomedical sciences, or biophysics with a specialization in neuroscience.
- Hands-on experience with molecular and cellular neuroscience, preferably with molecular biology, live-cell fluorescence microscopy, and/or electrophysiology.
- Experience with imaging and/or bioinformatics is an advantage.
- Fluency in English (written and spoken) and good communication skills.
What We Offer
- A challenging position in a socially engaged organization.
- A salary of €2,000 (PhD) and maximum €3,000 (PhD) gross per month in the fourth year, for a full-time employment.
