We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research team at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The successful candidate will be working on a project investigating the molecular processes that control synapse nanostructure and function.
The project will involve using CRISPR/Cas9-based tools, super-resolution microscopy, optogenetics, and electrophysiology to study synapse nanostructure and function in different model systems. The candidate will be part of an international research network and will have access to a variety of techniques and analysis tools.
Responsibilities- Investigate the molecular processes that control synapse nanostructure and function using various techniques
- Perform and analyze microscopy and electrophysiology data
- Publish in peer-reviewed journals and provide progress reports to funding sources
- Contribute to teaching activities (~10% of your time), including supervision of BSc and/or MSc students during internships
- Present your work to the international research community
- Master degree in life sciences, biomedical sciences, or biophysics with neuroscience specialization
- Hands-on experience with molecular and cellular neuroscience
- Fluent in English (written and spoken) and good communication skills
