PhD in Cellular Neuroscience and Neuroimaging: The Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology is offering a prestigious and exciting opportunity for a highly motivated PhD student to join the Cellular Neuroscience Department of Prof. Dr. Stefan Remy in association with the Research Training Group 2413 SynAGE. This position will focus on investigating patterns of hyperactivity using electrophysiological methods, with a specific emphasis on aging-related synaptic changes and memory deficits in hippocampal-cortical circuits. The successful candidate will work in a multidisciplinary, international project group and have access to cutting-edge technologies and modern infrastructure. This position offers an excellent platform for personal and professional skill development.
PhD Student Position in Cellular Neuroscience and Neuroimaging
Designation: PhD Student Position (f/m/d)
| Research Area | Cellular Neuroscience and Neuroimaging |
| Location | Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology (LIN), Magdeburg |
| Work Hours | 26 hours per week (Part-time, 65%) |
| Salary | TV-L E13 |
| Employment Type | Fixed-term (3-year) |
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Master’s degree or equivalent in Neuroscience, Biology, Biomedical engineering, Life sciences, or a related field
- Experience with electrophysiological recording or neuroimaging would be beneficial
- Familiarity with statistics and programming experience in Python are advantageous
- Strong intention to be a part of an international team with interdisciplinary questions
Job Description:
The PhD student will conduct research on patterns of hyperactivity using electrophysiological methods, focusing on aging-related synaptic changes and memory deficits in hippocampal-cortical circuits in mice. The role involves investigation of cell-type specific projections within hippocampal-cortical circuits and characterization of synaptic changes within long-range versus local cortical circuits across aging. The candidate will gain experience in various electrophysiological techniques, molecular cell identification, and neuroimaging methods.
