1 ERC funded Postdoc Position (f/m/d) in Circuit Neuroscience

5. 1 ERC funded Postdoc Position (f/m/d) in Circuit NeuroscienceThe Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in the Helmholtz Association aims to transform tomorrow’s medicine through our discoveries of today. At locations in Berlin-Buch, Berlin-Mitte, Heidelberg and Mannheim, our scientists collaborate across disciplines to unravel the complexities of disease at the systems level – from molecules and cells to organs and entire organisms. Through strong academic, clinical, and industry partnerships, as well as global networks, we translate biological insights into innovations for early detection, individualized therapies, and disease prevention. Founded in 1992, the Max Delbrück Center is home to a vibrant community of 1,800 people from more than 70 countries.The Poulet labOur long-term goal is to identify neural mechanisms of sensory perception. We investigate thermo-tactile perception in the mouse forelimb somatosensory system. A mechanistic understanding of sensory perception requires an integrated approach. We therefore combine cell-type specific electrophysiological and optical recordings and manipulations to record and manipulate neural activity in the behaving mouse. The MDC provides state of the art research facilities, a lively neuroscience cluster and the opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary environment of research excellence.
