The Sauer lab at the Center for Integrative Physiology and Molecular Medicine (CIPMM) at Saarland University has an opening in an ERC-funded project for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to explore representational drift in cortical circuits.

Who we are

Our group aims to understand representational drift and inter-areal communication in the brain. We use a combination of in vivo calcium imaging and Neuropixels recordings as well as computational modelling techniques. The department is embedded in the vibrant neuroscience community at the CIPMM and offers a highly interdisciplinary research environment.

Your role:

• • perform cutting edge research with advanced techniques, including high-density extracellular recordings with Neuropixels or calcium imaging using 1- or 2-photon microscopy,
• • analyse complex in vivo datasets.

Your qualifications:

• • Ph.D. (or equivalent) in Neuroscience or a related field.
• • Fluency in English
• • Prior experience with in vivo recording methods (e.g., calcium imaging, extracellular spike recording)
• • Experience in working with mouse models
• • Advanced programming skills in Python 
• • Strong motivation and ability to work both independently and collaboratively as a member of interdisciplinary teams
• • A certificate to work with animals in the European Union (e.g. FELASA) 

The position is initially for 2 years with the possibility to prolong. The salary scheme follows the German TV-L 13 (100%). 

Please send your application including your CV, a brief description of your previous research experience and motivation, and contact details of at least two references in a single pdf file to sekretariat-sauer@uni-saarland.de.
