Postdoctoral fellow (f/m/d)

**Job Description**
This postdoctoral position focuses on investigating the link between the dynamics of synaptic structural plasticity and the probability of neurons to become active during spatial navigation in mice. The successful candidate will longitudinally study the evolution of excitatory and inhibitory connectivity patterns by tracking dendritic spines and inhibitory synapses, as well as neuronal activity patterns, in the dorsal CA1 of live mice performing navigation tasks using head-fixed two-photon imaging combined with cellular labelling techniques.

**Skills & Abilities**
• Curious, highly motivated and self-driven
• Able to work independently
• Collegial attitude
• Solid background in neurobiology
• Previous experience with optical imaging of neuronal activity or mouse stereotactic surgery or in vivo electrophysiology or advanced data analysis
• Fluent in English

**Qualifications**
Required Degree(s) in:
• Biology
• Neurobiology
• Biophysics
• Physics
• Engineering

**Experience**
Other:
• Already hold or will complete in the nearest future a doctoral degree in the above-mentioned fields
• Experience with optical imaging of neuronal activity or mouse stereotactic surgery or in vivo electrophysiology or advanced data analysis
• Certificate evaluation from the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB) for international degrees
