Postdoctoral Researcher or a PhD candidate for a fully founded EU project (m/w/d)

· We are looking for motivated candidates for a postdoc or PhD positon of a EU funded project unveiling fundamental principles of neuronal repair after stroke to develop novel treatment approaches preventing cognitive decline. · The project aims at understanding cellular mechanisms of neuronal rewiring and reorganization as intrinsic repair strategies of the brain. Using chronic in-vivo Calcium imaging in the behaving animal combined with optogenetics and deep learning algorithms, we would like to reveal how individual neurons react to brain injury, how new circuits are formed, how surviving neurons reconnect and how this is related to the recovery of impaired sensorimotor and cognitive functions after stroke. · For this, you will leverage and build up strong collaborations with experimental partners at the ISD and with members of the excellence cluster SyNergy in Munich. · 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.
