A postdoctoral position for neurophysiology and
optogenetics is available
at the Department of Developmental Neurophysiology, University
Medical Center
Hamburg, Germany.
Our group investigates the synchronized patterns of
electrical activity
in the immature brain, their relevance for the development of
cognitive and
behavioral abilities and their impairment associated with
neurological disorders,
such as perinatal ischemia and schizophrenia
(www.zmnh.uni-hamburg.de/zmnh/groups/hanganu/hanganu).
We seek a Senior Postdoctoral Neuroscientist to
develop, execute and
analyze state-of-the-art electrophysiological, optogenetic,
anatomical and
behavioral experiments in rodents as part of a research project
aiming to
elucidate the neuronal circuitry accounting for the maturation
of cognitive and
multisensory abilities. The position offers an excellent
opportunity to perform
highly collaborative research within the DFG-funded Priority
Program 1665 and
Collaborative Research Center 936.
Qualified candidates should hold a Ph.D, M.D. or equivalent qualification, and should have outstanding
certificates and good publication record. Candidates are also expected to have significant experience in
electrophysiology and optogenetics as well as strong background in mathematics with good programming
experience (MATLAB). Good communication skills, creative and independent thinking are mandatory.
The position is available from September 2014 or
later and will run
initially for 3 years.
The salary will be on the level of the German
public service research
salary (E13-14, 40.000-45.000 € per annum, depending on
experience).
Applications including (i) CV, (ii) a brief
statement of expertise and
interests, (iii) academic achievements and list of publications
and (iv) 2
letters of reference should be sent to
Prof. Dr. Ileana Hanganu-Opatz by email (hangop@zmnh.uni-hamburg.de).
Incomplete applications will not be considered.
