Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?
The newly started Picton laboratory, collaborating with the El Manira and Lallemend laboratories at the Department of Neuroscience, has an open position for a postdoctoral fellow. We are searching for talented and enthusiastic postdocs interested in studying sensorimotor circuits using electrophysiological, imaging, and molecular techniques.
Your mission
The project aims to understand the role of sensorimotor circuits for whole-body motor behavior in mice. The successful candidate should show a high level of responsibility and independency, be able to collaborate with others in a team, and possess good English communication skills. Applicants should have a strong neuroscience background with documented experience in using mice as a model system. We are seeking candidates with documented experience in surgery, animal behavior, virus injections, and electrophysiology. The project will involve patch-clamp recordings (including mechanoclamp recordings), optogenetics, imaging in the mouse brainstem and spinal cord.
Your profile
To be eligible for employment as a postdoctor a doctoral degree or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree is required. This eligibility requirement must be fulfilled at the latest at the time of the employment decision. It is considered as an advantage if you have completed your doctoral degree within the last three years, if there are special reasons, your degree may have been completed earlier.
