PhD position in Cellular Neuroscience

• Investigate the regulatory role of the synaptic vesicle cluster
• Dissect individual aspects of this regulation by investigating the behavior and effects of the synaptic vesicle cluster in cellular context outside of the confines of a synapse, including in non-neuronal cells
• Acquire proficiencies in basic and advanced lab techniques, including but not limited to super resolution fluorescence microscopy and live imaging, work with primary and iPSC-derived neuronal cultures, organelle transfer, immunocytochemistry and others

• Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Life Sciences with a strong academic record
• Experience in wet lab work
• High level of motivation and initiative
• Communication and teamwork skills
• Very good written and spoken English skills

Data analysis and programming skills are an advantage
