Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our research group in dopamine biology. The successful candidate will have a strong background in neuroscience and experience with stereotactic surgery, fiber photometry measurements, and data analysis.

Our Research Group

We are a dynamic and interdisciplinary research group of about 20 people working on dopamine biology and related diseases. Our research focuses on understanding the neural mechanisms underlying dopamine-related disorders, such as parkinsonism, ADHD, addiction, and obesity.

Your Role

The postdoctoral researcher will be responsible for designing and conducting experiments to investigate the dynamics of dopamine release in the brain. This will involve working with genetically encoded sensors, multiregion fiber photometry, and behavioral assays. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to collaborate with national and international collaborators in the field.

Requirements

  • PhD in neuroscience or a related field
  • At least 3 years of postdoctoral experience
  • Experience with stereotactic surgery, fiber photometry measurements, and data analysis
  • Strong background in neuroscience and dopamine biology
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills

Working Conditions

The position is located at the Department of Neuroscience, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. We offer a dynamic and international research environment with modern laboratories and a diverse team of researchers.

Terms of Employment

The position is a fixed-term position limited to a period of 2 years. The starting date is negotiable, but we aim to start as soon as possible.

Salary and Benefits

The salary will be based on the Danish collective agreement for academic staff. The position also includes a comprehensive benefits package, including pension and health insurance.

Application Procedure

Applications should be submitted in English and include a motivated letter of application, CV, and a list of publications. The application deadline is 13 November 2022.
