                                                          1 postdoc and 1 PhD position on EU funded project at LMU Munich

                                                          1 postdoc and 1 PhD position on EU funded project at LMU Munich

                                                          We are looking for motivated candidates (1x fully funded postdoc positon and 1x fully funded PhD position) for a EU funded project unveiling fundamental principles of neuronal repair after stroke to develop novel treatment approaches preventing cognitive decline.

                                                          What do we offer?

                                                          We currently build a new team at the Institute of Stroke and Dementia Research (https://neuronal-repair.de) to continue the work we have started at the Brain Research Institute, University of Zurich. You will be integrated in the vital research environment at LMU, the Center of Stroke and Dementia Research (CSD - https://www.isd-research.de/isd-research) as well as of the Excellence Cluster SyNergy (https://www.synergy-munich.de) participating in lectures, seminars and retreats. You will learn state-of-the-art methods in neuroscience such as multiphoton calcium imaging in vivo, optogenetics, chemogenetics, micro-surgeries, histology and application of deep learning methods.

                                                          Aim of the projects?

                                                          The projects aim at understanding neuronal rewiring and reorganization as intrinsic repair mechanisms of the brain on a neuronal network level. We would like to understand how neurons form new circuits, reconnect and compensate for lost ones to enable the recovery of impaired sensorimotor and cognitive functions after CNS injury such as stroke. As we would like to understand causal relationships between neuronal rewiring and the behavioral phenotype we also develop deep learning algorithms for further analysis.

                                                          What do you bring in?

                                                          As a future PhD student: A very good Master or Diploma degree in physics, biomedicine, biology or bioinformatics or related topics; experience in programming (ideally Matlab or Python), ideally some neuroscience background with experience in animal experiments and calcium imaging; scientific creativity and ability to work in a team.

                                                          As a future Postdoc: A very good PhD thesis in neuroscience and experience with in-vivo work with mice. Ideally, you already have some experience with imaging technologies and optics and a solid knowledge in data analysis including significant programming skills (Matlab or Python). Independent thinking, creativity and the ability to work in a team are crucial.

                                                          We also require fluency in spoken and written English and ideally some knowledge in German.

                                                          The positions are available for the winter semester 2024. Gross salary will be according to the statutes of LMU Munich/ LMU University Hospital.
