PhD Position in Cell Biology and Neurobiology

The PhD Position in Cell Biology and Neurobiology is a doctoral research position in the Emmy Noether junior research group at the Institute of Cell and Neurobiology, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. The project investigates local synaptic connectivity in cortical microcircuits using high-throughput multi-neuron patch-clamp in mouse and human acute brain slices. The role involves experimental work mapping excitatory and inhibitory connectivity and analysis of higher-order network motifs to understand microcircuit organization and cross-species generalizability.

Stimulating research environment with state-of-the-art methods; extensive training and professional development; international and interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities; mentoring and supervision; access to human cortical brain tissue; 30 days paid vacation; salaried position (paygrade E13 TVöD VKA-K).

Candidates must hold an M.Sc. or equivalent in Neuroscience, Biology, or a related field; practical lab experience in patch-clamp electrophysiology and molecular biology techniques are required; data analysis experience (Python and/or MATLAB) is desired.

Applications submitted via the Charité application portal; further information available on the Charité job webpage.
