• Oocyte-based experimental methods for voltage-gated calcium channels
• Experience with the "cut-open oocyte Vaseline gap" voltage clamp
• Experience with voltage-clamp fluorometry
• Experience with flow cytometry / immunocytochemistry methods

Education in ion channel biophysics, especially voltage-gated calcium channels, is highly meritorious.

The position requires very good knowledge of spoken and written English.

As a person, you are quality aware and structured. You have a habit of working with complex issues and are stable in pressured situations.
Great emphasis is placed on personal suitability.
