There is an opening for a joint PhD student in the groups of Dr. Peter Rupprecht and Prof. Fritjof Helmchen at the Brain Research Institute of the University of Zurich.
You will learn how to use high-end two-photon microscopes to image the activity of neurons and astrocytes in the brain of a living animal. You will analyse large datasets in Python and/or Matlab. You will build models of subcellular signal integration to explain your experiments. You will have the opportunity to become creative and develop new methods for data analysis or microscopy. You will receive direct guidance from an expert on new methods for calcium imaging and data analysis (Peter Rupprecht) and from an experienced and world-reknown professor of neuroscience (Fritjof Helmchen). You have a background in physics, biophysics, neuronal engineering, or another quantitative discipline, and you are interested in performing neurophysiological experiments as well as extensive analyses and modeling.
