A PhD position in Molecular & Cellular Neuroscience (m/f/d)
| We offer an interdisciplinary research team with international collaborations, integrated in an exciting scientific environment at the University of Ulm & the University of Oxford. In a Wellcome Trust funded project, together with the Oxford Parkinson‘s disease Centre (OPDC), as well as within the DFG-funded SFB-1506, we analyse cell-specific mechanisms of differential neuronal vulnerability in Aging and in Parkinson‘s disease. We focus on the role of ion channels & receptors, and activity-related Ca2+ signalling. Our methods deployed include state-of-the-art in vivo and ex vivo neuroscience techniques, like AI-based image analysis, electrophysiology, targeted CRISPR/Cas9, Seahorse, and single cell transcriptomics approaches (see also: https://www.uni-ulm.de/med/angewphys/). As start-date, beginning of 2025 is envisioned, but a prior or later start is possible. The position is funded according to the German TV-L system, and can be embedded within the International Graduate school “Molecular Medicine” at Um University (IGradU). Applicants will hold an outstanding MSc degree or equivalent in neuroscience, life sciences, biochemistry, or a related subject, and are fluent in English. Experience in neuroscience as well as in molecular biology, bioinformatics, imaging, and/or electrophysiological techniques are desired and of advantage. Successful applicants are self-motivated team workers and enthusiastic about science, with strong communication skills and diligent work ethics. If you are interested, please send in your full application, by mail or by e-mail (as one merged PDF-file only), containing a cover letter, statement of research interest / motivation (max. 1 page), CV, all certificates (BSc, MSc, other degrees), and the contact details of two references, to: |
