About The Position
A PhD position is available in the lab of Prof. Koen Vervaeke at the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Oslo. The position is a four-year fixed-term appointment, of which 25% is dedicated to career building opportunities.
We are looking for highly motivated candidates with a strong interest in systems neuroscience and microscopy.
The lab focuses on determining the mechanisms of neural circuits and the contribution of specific cell types to behavior. In this particular project, you will investigate how the hippocampus forms spatial memories and how these processes are influenced by addictive substances.
You will use state-of-the-art in vivo two-photon imaging and electrophysiology to record neuronal activity in rodents performing behavioral tasks, and use optogenetics to manipulate neural activity.
Do you enjoy working in an international environment, tackling the mysteries of the brain with the support of an international team of experts? Then this job may be for you.
