We are looking for an excellent PhD Candidate to work in characterization of healthy and diseased mouse models from retinal circuits to visually guided behaviour
Timeline of the call:
The position will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found. Thus, submit your application as soon as possible. In any case we will fill the position by the end of the year 2022.
Objectives:
Characterize the retinal output of different mouse models of retinal diseases
Correlate the retinal output to the animal behavior in the water maze
Dr Ala-Laurila has two laboratories (http://ala-laurila.biosci.helsinki.fi/ ): one at Aalto University and one at University of Helsinki. Both labs work in integrated collaboration and have state-of-the art approaches to study retinal circuits and visually-guided behavior. They combine cutting-edge electrophysiological recording techniques with precise manipulations of retinal circuit function, mathematical modelling and quantitative behavioral measurements: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZniIYFSIcT8
