Research Group “Sleep and Waking” (PD Dr. Henrik Bringmann) at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry is inviting applications for a PhD Student or Postdoc “control and functions of sleep”.
About the position:
- The group is looking for a Doctoral student or Postdoc to work on the mechanisms by which sleep neurons control sleep and the mechanisms of how sleep becomes restorative.
- Projects are possible for projects in both control and functions of sleep. Projects are possible that use either elegans or mouse as a model, or both.
- Methods and approaches used will be molecular genetics, functional imaging, electrophysiology, and optogenetics.
Requirements:
- For a PhD student position: applicant must hold a Master’s (or equivalent) degree in Life Science.
- For Postdoc: applicant must hold a PhD in Life Science and must have some background in at least one of the above-mentioned animal models.
Application:
Applications must include the following:
- CV
- List of publications (if applicable)
- 2-4 references with contact names and addresses familiar with the work of the candidate.
