PhD and Postdoc positions in Experimental neuroscience 1338 views

The Ernst Strüngmann Institute has multiple Postdocs and PhDs (m/f/d) openings for experimental projects in marmoset at laboratory of Dr. Martin Vinck.

About the project:

• The selected candidate will study predictive processing in the visual system, test new models of object recognition, and the contribution of different cell types to neural coding.
• Data will be collected with chronic, high-density silicon probes including wireless recordings during (freely moving) natural behavior (using the eCube white matter system). A part of the project involves optogenetics.
• Additional training in high-density electrophysiology can be acquired by participation in projects in mice.

Requirements:

• Candidates must have background and experience in biology or medicine and behavioral training and electrophysiology.

How to apply:

All application material to be sent to Martin Vinck at martin.vinck@esi-frankfurt.de (in electronic form (PDF format) and applications should contain the following materials:

• Letter of intent
• A detailed CV
• Lists of university courses completed with marks obtained
