PhD Students
Ref.: 4879
The Institute of Physiology I (Neurophysiology, Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Hans-Christian Pape) in Münster (Westf.), Germany has two open positions for PhD students. 

We are interested in the thalamocortical system and its role in epileptogenesis, the regulation of the sleep-wake-cycle, and synaptic plasticity. The project aims to determine the role of gap junctions in the thalamic reticular nucleus and their impact on epileptogenesis. Methods include two photon calcium imaging, combined with whole cell patch clamp techniques, in acute brain slice preparations.

We seek candidates that preferably fulfil one or several of the following requirements:

• Hands-on experience in calcium imaging (preferably with two-photon laser scanning microscopy)
• Hands-on experience in cellular electrophysiology (preferably with the whole-cell patch clamp technique)
• Detailed knowledge of cellular calcium signalling, the thalamocortical system, and cellular pacemakers

Additionally, candidates are required to have a Master degree or equivalent in a relevant field and speak English or German fluently. They should be highly motivated, like to work in a team, and be confident about preparing and presenting scientific data.

The positions are funded. The University of Münster is an equal opportunity employer. The applicant may be awarded an affiliation to the “Otto Creutzfeldt Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience”. The city of Münster was awarded a LivCom-Award for the most livable city in the world in 2004. Neuroscience research in Münster is growing and expanding fast.
For more information please contact:
Dr. rer. nat. Philippe Coulon ([e-mail], [phone]).

In the case of similar qualification, competence, and specific achievements, women will be considered on preferential terms within the framework of the legal possibilities. Handicapped candidates with equivalent qualifications will be given preference.
