Postdoctoral Position in Retinal Physiology, University of Oldenburg, Germany

A postdoc position in Neuroscience is available in the lab of Prof. Reto Weiler for the investigation of signal processing in the mouse retina (for details see http://www.fg-retina.uni-oldenburg.de/en/18948.html). We employ anatomical, optical, and electrophysiological techniques to investigate the functional properties of retinal neurons and their networks.
We are an interdisciplinary team working (for details see also http://www.neurosensorik.uni-oldenburg.de/en/) on diverse aspects of retinal processing and offer well equipped research labs. If you are highly motivated and have a sound background in electrophysiology (e.g., patch-clamp recordings), you are encouraged to apply. Basic programming skills (e.g., Matlab) and/or experience with modern light microscopy techniques (confocal or two-photon microscopy) would be an asset.
Funding of the position is available for at least three years within the DFG Research Unit “Dynamics and stability of retinal processing” (FOR 701, www.fg-retina.uni-oldenburg.de/en/), which also provides opportunities to meet with other retinal neuroscientists.
Applications are accepted until the position is filled.
Please apply with CV, copies of certificates, list of methods, letters of reference, and list of publications, preferentially via email to Karin Dedek (karin.dedek@uni-oldenburg.de)
