PhD position (m/f/x) Behavioral Neuroscience
The research group Behavioral Neuroscience investigates the multifaceted functions of the cerebellum beyond its classical role in motor control, with a particular focus on neurological and psychiatric disorders. By developing and studying transgenic mouse models of episodic and spinocerebellar ataxias, the team explores how specific cell types, signaling pathways, and molecular mechanisms contribute to disease progression. These studies aim to uncover targets for innovative therapeutic interventions. In addition, the group is interested in the cerebellum’s involvement in emotional and cognitive processes, especially in the regulation of fear and anxiety. Using a combination of genetic, optogenetic, and pharmacological approaches, they dissect the contributions of distinct neuronal populations and brain circuits, thereby providing new insights into how the cerebellum shapes and contributes to both behavior and pathology. The proposed project focuses on the cerebellar contributions to fear extinction. Moreover, to understand the specific cerebello-cortical networks, cerebellar neurons and mechanisms involved in controlling fear extinction from the cerebellum.
As a research assistant (m/f/x), you will independently and reliably prepare and carry out experiments, analyse the results and …
Scope: part-time
Duration: fixed-term, 36 Months
Start: 01.07.2026
Apply by: 2026-03-17
Your tasks:
- Molecular biology: Cloning of various plasmids and sensors
- Cell culture: virus production, assays
- Biochemical assays: Co-immunoprecipitation, Western blotting
- Fluorescence microscopy: and analysis of fluorescent images; performing calcium imaging
- Animal experiments: Conducting and analysing behavioral experiments in mice; organ extraction followed by histological analyses (IHC, qPCR, Western blot)
- Electrophysiology: In vivo recordings and analysis of Purkinje cell, calcium and monoaminergic activity
- Supervision: Support in supervising bachelor’s and master’s theses, as well as participation in seminars, conferences, journal club, lab meeting and specialized, advanced training modules
Your profile:
We are looking for a candidate (m/f/x) with an excellent master’s degree in biology, neurobiology/neuroscience or a comparable field. Ideally, the candidate
should have the following qualifications:
