Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Københavns Universitet (KU) Full time
About the Position

We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic researcher to join our team at the Department of Neuroscience, University of Copenhagen. The successful candidate will be part of a thriving international neuroscience environment and will have the opportunity to work on a project focused on studying the generation and functions of theta oscillations in spatial navigation using systems neuroscience and population-level approaches.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct independent research of high international quality, including publications and other research outputs.
  • Perform the project described above.
  • Collaborate with lab members and other project participants.
  • Assist with student supervision.
Our Research

Our lab is focused on understanding the neuronal mechanisms involved in memory and cognition and how imbalances in the circuits can lead to pathological conditions. We study spatial memory and theta oscillations in behaving rats and how the distributed populations of neurons across the distributed brain circuits central to memory coordinate their dynamics to generate complex cognitive functions in awake rodents.

Requirements
  • You have a Ph.D. in Neuroscience or other related sciences.
  • You are experienced in electrophysiology.
  • You have an active interest in the brain's memory mechanisms.
  • Experience with data analysis of single cells.
  • Proficient communication skills and ability to work in teams.
  • Excellent English skills, written and spoken.
Desirable Experience and Skills
  • In-vivo electrophysiological experiments in rodents.
  • Knowledge of and experience with optogenetics/virus/genetic techniques and tools.
  • Data analysis using Matlab or Python applied to single cells and populations (e.g., spike sorting and LFP analysis).
  • Computational neuroscience with knowledge in applying dimensionality reduction methods and population-level approaches.
