Postdoctoral Researcher in neural circuits underlying sensorimotor functions

Do you want to contribute to top quality medical research?

The Silberberg lab uses electrophysiological, morphological, optical, and computational methods to study neural circuits in the neocortex and basal-ganglia underlying sensorimotor functions.

Your mission

The successful candidate should show a high level of responsibility and independency, be able to collaborate with others in a team, good communication skills (English speaking and writing), and be willing to supervise students. Successful candidates should have a strong neuroscience background with documented experience in electrophysiology and/or imaging. Experience in surgery, animal behavior, computer programming, and manuscript writing are highly advantageous. The project will involve ex vivo patch-clamp recordings and optogenetics in the mouse basal ganglia.

Your profile

To be eligible for employment as a postdoctor a doctoral degree or a foreign degree deemed to be equivalent to a doctoral degree is required. This eligibility requirement must be fulfilled at the latest at the time of the employment decision. It is considered as an advantage if you have completed your doctoral degree within the last three years, if there are special reasons, your degree may have been completed earlier.
