We offer an interdisciplinary research team with international collaborations, integrated in an exciting scientific environment at the University of Ulm & the University of Oxford.
In a Wellcome Trust funded project, together with the Oxford Parkinson‘s disease Centre (OPDC), as well as within the DFG-funded SFB-1506, we analyse cell-specific mechanisms of differential neuronal vulnerability in Aging and in Parkinson‘s disease. We focus on the role of ion channels & receptors, and activity-related Ca2+ signalling.

Our methods deployed include state-of-the-art in vivo and ex vivo neuroscience techniques, like AI-based image analysis, electrophysiology, targeted CRISPR/Cas9, Seahorse, and single cell transcriptomics approaches (see also: https://www.uni-ulm.de/med/angewphys/).

As start-date, beginning of 2025 is envisioned, but a prior or later start is possible.

The position is funded according to the German TV-L system, and can be embedded within the International Graduate school “Molecular Medicine” at Um University (IGrad U).

Applicants will hold an outstanding MSc degree or equivalent in neuroscience, life sciences, biochemistry, or a related subject, and are fluent in English.

Experience in neuroscience as well as in molecular biology, bioinformatics, imaging, and/or electrophysiological techniques are desired and of advantage. Successful applicants are self-motivated team workers and enthusiastic about science, with strong communication skills and diligent work ethics.

If you are interested, please send in your full application, by mail or by e-mail (as one merged PDF-file only), containing a cover letter, statement of research interest / motivation (max. 1 page), CV, all certificates (BSc, MSc, other degrees), and the contact details of two references, to:
