时间:2019-03-19来源:中国博士人才网 作者:佚名

 招聘简介:

  视觉和导航神经回路

  比利时鲁汶市弗兰德斯神经电子学研究所(Neuro Electronics Research Flanders)视觉行动实验室(Vincent Bonin,PI)博士和博士后职位(NERF,www.nerf.be)。

  所选候选人将使用前沿方法,包括病毒追踪、双光子细胞成像和高密度电极记录(neuropixel),研究神经编码和电路基础,这些方法是感知决策和/或导航行为的基础。

  关于实验室

  我们的研究集中在视觉皮层和初级视觉通路,它们的处理和对行为的贡献。我们在感官处理和神经调节[1-3]、导航[4,5]和神经技术[6,7]领域做出了重大贡献。正在进行的项目包括皮质功能结构、多感觉整合、皮质可塑性、神经元-神经胶质相互作用和大脑发育。

  职位描述

  这是一个资金充足、仅研究的职位,具有很高的独立性。研究员设计和运行自己的研究项目,并与其他实验室成员密切合作,开发新的分析和分析,同时提供方法论和概念见解。研究人员与NERF的研究人员以及Vib和Ku-Leuven的合作实验室有广泛的互动。强烈鼓励开展职业发展活动,如在国际科学活动上作专题介绍、编写资助建议和组织讲习班。

  Neuronal circuits of vision and navigation

  PhD and Postdoc positions in the Vision-to-Action Laboratory (Vincent Bonin, PI) at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders in Leuven, Belgium, (NERF, www.nerf.be).

  The selected candidates will investigate the neural coding and circuitry basis underlying perceptual decisions and/or navigation behavior using cutting-edge approaches, including viral tracing, two-photon cellular imaging and high-density electrode recording (Neuropixel).

  About the lab

  Our research is centered on the visual cortex and primary visual pathway, their processing and contributions to behavior. We have made significant contributions to the fields of sensory processing and neuromodulation [1-3], navigation [4, 5], and neurotechnology [6, 7]. Ongoing projects include cortex functional architecture, multisensory integration, cortical plasticity, neuron-glia interactions, and brain development.

  Job description

  This is a fully-funded, research-only position that is endowed with a high level of independence. Fellows design and run their own research projects and work closely with other lab members to develop new assays and analyses, contributing with both methodological and conceptual insights. Fellows interact broadly with researchers at NERF and partner labs at VIB and KU Leuven. Career advancement activities such as presentations at international scientific events, writing of funding proposals and organization of workshops are strongly encouraged.

  Profile

  Master’s or PhD in neuroscience, biology or related field and experience in electrophysiology, cellular imaging, or quantitative animal behavior. We seek a highly motivated individual with strong quantitative and technical skills and a collaborative spirit. Computational scientists with interest in experimental neuroscience are encouraged to apply.

  We offer

  ·         Opportunity to do cutting edge science in a supportive and collaborative team.

  ·         State-of-the-art tools and facilities: The laboratory is equipped with multiple setups for multiphoton microscopy, widefield imaging, and high-density electrode recordings (Neuropixels).

  ·         Proximity to exciting research places at the heart of Europe. NERF is within walking distance of KU Leuven on the campus of imec, world-leader in nanoelectronics research. Leuven is a short train ride away from Brussels at the heart of Europe and has a vibrant research community. Reuters has ranked KU Leuven in the top 5 of the world’s most innovative universities.

  ·         Fully-funded, research only positions with benefits.

  How to apply?

  The application package should include a CV, the names of 2-3 referees, and a statement specifying career goals, research interests, and how these relate to the interests of the lab.

  Pre-doctoral fellows should include a copy of their undergraduate and graduate university transcripts. Candidates from other fields should provide a clear statement on objectives and how these fit within the NERF research activities as research statement.
