The Institute of Neuroanatomy at the University Medical Center Goettingen is looking for a
- Limitation: limited to 3 years (prolongation possible)
- Working period: part-time (25,025 h/week)
- Tariff: salary according to TV-L
- Announcement published on 03.05.2022
- Vacancy from 01.06.2022
- Application deadline: 31.08.2022
The Institute for Neuroanatomy is specialized on the functional anatomy of the mammalian brain. With up-to-date transgenic mouse models and high-end slice electrophysiology, we want to understand how synaptic networks in the cerebral cortex are organized to process tactile information coming from the larges whiskers on the snout. A special focus is on GABAergic neurons of the barrel cortex.
In this exciting PhD project, we will use a broad spectrum of electrophysiological, immunohistochemical, microscopic and behavioral methods on intersectional mouse lines labeling VIP-interneurons. The technically very demanding approach includes in detail: electrophysiological characterization and biocytin-filling of pre- and postsynaptic neurons from paired patch-clamp recordings in vitro, ideally combined with patch-seq.
Your tasks:
- Dual/triple whole-cell recordings of genetically labelled neurons
- Biocytin filling and morphological reconstruction of labelled neurons
- Data analysis, statistics and manuscript drafting
Your profile:
- The successful candidate must have a master degree in the natural sciences and hands-on experience with neurophysiology (whole-cell patch-clamp recordings)
- We expect a strong enthusiasm for experimental neuroscience questions and a highly motivated candidate with very good communication skills
We offer:
- Structured promotion in the GGNB (Göttingen Graduate School for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences)
- All necessary training (building on your previous recording skills)
- Well-equipped and lively laboratory
- Possibility to work in a team with adequate supervision
The University Medical Center Göttingen is committed to professional equality. We therefore seek to increase the proportion of under-represented genders. Applicants with disabilities and equal qualifications will be given preferential treatment.
We look forward to receiving your application by 31.08.2022:
