Job Detail

Particularité

The positions are open in the Philipsborn group: philipsborn-lab.org/

The lab will move to the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, in February 2022, (Department for Neuro- and Movement Science), where we will continue to work on Drosophila Circuit Neuroscience and Behavioral Genetics. We are interested in motor control and the neurobiology of reproduction, with a focus on chemical and acoustic communication during sexual interactions. We are employing behavioral assays, audio recordings, genetic manipulation and optogenetics, bioimaging and neuronal reconstructions to understand how circuit motifs shape behavior.

Domaine d'activité

• You are expected either to join a current project of the laboratory (addressing the communication of nervous system and reproductive organs and copulatory behavior) or to propose and develop your own project ideas (within the general interest and expertise of the lab).


• Involvement in academic teaching is possible, but no requirement.


• You are capable of training and fostering the scientific development of Bachelor and Master students.


• The position is fully funded, but efforts to acquire your own funding and work toward independence will be strongly supported.

Exigences

• The ideal candidate has a PhD in Natural Sciences and a good academic track-record of original research, project management and problem-solving.


• Previous experience in any of the following areas is of advantage: neuroscience, Drosophila biology, connectomics or genetics, advanced microscopy or electrophysiology, mass spectrometry, behavioral experiments and their analysis and scientific programming.
