A postdoctoral position in systems neuroscience is available in the laboratory of Prof. Andreas Lüthi at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI). This position aims to explore the function and plasticity of neuronal circuits incorporating the amygdala using experimental and advanced data analysis tools
Requirements:
We are looking for a highly motivated individual with expertise in signal processing and statistical data analysis and programming skills (e.g. R, MATLAB, Python). The successful candidate will have an interest in performing in vivo experiments and analysing large data sets arising from imaging or ephys experiments and building expert systems that improve our understanding of the neuronal mechanisms underlying internal states and associated behaviors. This effort includes developing novel analytical frameworks for high throughput data and non-routine problems in collaboration with the group members

Postdoctoral Position: Quantitative analysis of neuronal networks for internal states A postdoctoral position in systems neuroscience is available in the laboratory of Prof. Andreas Lüthi at the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research (FMI). This position aims to explore the function and plasticity of neuronal circuits incorporating the amygdala using experimental and advanced data analysis tools. Our laboratory applies a multidisciplinary and integrated experimental approach in mice. We are combining electrophysiological, imaging and behavioral techniques with advanced computational approaches to investigate the function of neuronal networks driving internal states with an emphasis on amygdala and interacting brain areas (Gründemann et al., Science 2019, Fustinana et al., Nature 2021, Courtin et al., Science 2022). We are looking for a highly motivated individual with expertise in signal processing and statistical data analysis and programming skills (e.g. R, MATLAB, Python). The successful candidate will have an interest in performing in vivo experiments and analysing large data sets arising from imaging or ephys experiments and building expert systems that improve our understanding of the neuronal mechanisms underlying internal states and associated behaviors. This effort includes developing novel analytical frameworks for high throughput data and non-routine problems in collaboration with the group members. The position is funded for three years with the possibility of extension based on performance. We offer attractive compensation and benefits, as well as a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment that is focused on advancing cutting-edge science. Additionally, you will be part of a dynamic and international research community. Please submit your application, including your CV, experience, and the names of 2-3 referees, electronically at www.fmi.ch/opening . Applications will be reviewed continuously. For further information, please contact Andreas Lüthi ( andreas.luthi@fmi.ch ). About FMI: The FMI is a world-class biomedical research institute focused on Genome Regulation, Multicellular Systems and Neurobiology, which is affiliated with the University of Basel and the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research. The institute has an international staff of around 330 people, including more than 170 postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. The FMI is located in the vibrant city of Basel, the third largest city in Switzerland and the leading European hub for life sciences, conveniently situated on the borders with France and Germany. The FMI is committed to increasing the diversity of our faculty and strongly encourages people from under-represented groups to apply.
