Postdoc position in
Electrophysiology is currently available at the Department of Neuroscience,
Karolinska Institute, Stockholm Sweden.
Research: Our lab
uses electrophysiological, morphological, and imaging methods to study
neural microcircuits in the neocortex and basal-ganglia. In particular we
are interested in the dynamic properties of neuronal microcircuits
underlying sensory and motor processing. We study the dynamic interactions
between different types of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in order to
unravel the way neural networks are structured and dynamically
orchestrated.
We are currently seeking
candidates for a postdoctoral position in the lab. Candidates should have
experience in patch-clamp recording and knowledge of imaging techniques and
computer programming. The project will involve multi neuron patch-clamp
recordings in vitro and in vivo in neocortex and basal
ganglia.
Environment: The
Department of Neuroscience has a strong research tradition in the study of
sensorimotor systems using a variety of techniques, in particular
electrophysiology and neuroanatomy.
Karolinska Institutet is one of Europe’s largest medical universities and
contains commensurate resources and infrastructure. A total of 600 research
groups span the full spectrum of medical disciplines and includes 2,000
researchers, 1,000 technicians, and 2,300 postgraduate students from all
parts of the world who take part in both basic and clinical research. Each
year, the Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet awards the Nobel Prize in
Physiology or Medicine.
Applications should
include the C.V., Publication List, details of two references and should be
sent to Gilad Silberberg:
Gilad.silberberg@ki.se.
Funding is guaranteed for
the first 2 years and may be extended according to progress.
The position will be open
until a suitable candidate is found, but preferential treatment will be
given to applications submitted before February 28th.
