PhD Scholarship Neuroscience
Job Description : A Ph.D. student position is available in the Research Group Synaptic Plasticity, at the Hertie-Institute for Clinical Brain Research, University of Tuebingen, Germany. Our group addresses the molecular and cellular basis of synaptic plasticity. In particular, we focus on pathways that are normally involved in refining synaptic circuits via the “physiological” elimination of specific synapses. The misregulation of such pathways triggers massive, pathological loss of synapses. Thus, our work aims to achieve a better mechanistic understanding of altered synaptic plasticity in the diseased brain. Specifically, we are interested in characterizing which alterations are causative, and which are merely adaptations to neurodegenerative diseases.
We are looking for a highly motivated student with top grades, talent and creativity who is interesting in working on a disease-relevant study. You should furthermore be willing to visit collaborating laboratories in the course of you PhD to learn techniques and undertake experiments.
Special focus of the advertised project will be (1) the “molecular mechanics” of kinesin function as well as (2) the question: “How is synaptic function effected by impairments to anterograde axonal transport?”.
Techniques used include: in vivo imaging, biochemical in vitro assays and molecular biology.
Applications should include a CV, academic achievements, a brief statement of research interests including your past experience and names of at least 2 referees. Applicants are expected to show a sincere and specific interest in the project. Applications received by January 15, 2010, will be given first consideration. Applications received after that date will be considered only if the position has not been filled. Incomplete applications will not be considered.
