We have an open researcher position in the Genzel lab funded by an ERC Consolidator grant for a candidate with a completed PhD. It is 3 years full-time (adaptable if necessary) and we are looking for someone with expertise in molecular methods (e.g. completed a PhD including techniques as immunohistochemistry, viral approaches such as DREADD and optogenetics, engram tagging techniques) to join our big, team-science projects. Specifically we aim to elucidate how the cortex acquires semantic memories in multi-trial learning paradigms such as our Object Space Task and the HexMaze. Start is flexible (ASAP but later start is also possible) and you would join a multi-disciplinary team tackling complex behavior with state-of-the-art methods in a cross-species approach. For further information contact Lisa Genzel l.genzel@donders.ru.nl. Applications are welcome anytime (open running application), we will close the call 31st of January 2025. Please send a CV (max 4 pages with publications) and a motivation letter (max 2 pages).
