[Comp-neuro] Postdoctoral openings in cellular electrophysiology, nanoneuroscience, optogenetics

The Theoretical Neurobiology and Neuroengineering research group at the Dept. of Biomedical Sciences of the University of Antwerp (Belgium) is hiring two postdoctoral fellows, each for a three years period.

The topics are:

- interfacing novel materials to neuronal microcircuitry as bidirectional nano-scale interfacing devices.

- using novel optogenetic and electrophysiological techniques to quantitively dissect network-level dynamics and plasticity, relevant for natural and synthetic memories formation, deletion, and re-writing.

The University of Antwerp and the TNBN team http://www.tnb.ua.ac.be provide a stimulating research environment. Antwerp is located at the center of Europe, provides excellent living conditions, and it is an attractive, inspiring, historic place.
The working language is English.

Your profile:
* PhD degree in neuroscience or cellular electrophysiology
* experienced with patch-clamp in brain slices and in primary neuronal cell cultures.
* experienced in the domains of in vitro multielectrode arrays, optogenetics, photoactivation, analysis of synaptic transmission, neuronal excitability and population activity.
* Creative and highly motivated
* Fluent in English, both written and spoken

Duration: 3 years

Start date: As soon as possible

Contact: Michele Giugliano, Michele.Giugliano_AT_ua.ac.be

Please send applications via email, including:
* a motivation letter
* a complete CV, including a list of publications
* graduation marks
* the name and email address of three referees

Note: mass-emails will be trashed
