PhD student position in molecular biology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Unive

Germany PhD student position in molecular biology at Ludwig-Maximilians-Unive on May 13th, 2011We are seeking PhD students (E13/2) interested in the molecular mechanisms of synaptic cell loss in neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). The project mainly involves molecular biology (cloning of viral vectors) and modern imaging approaches like in vivo two-photon imaging in mouse models of AD and PD (see, for instance Fuhrmann et al. Nature Neurosci. 2010; Kienast et al. Nature Med. 2010, Bittner et al. J. Neurosci. 2009). Experience in imaging techniques and image analysis are required.

 

We provide a stimulating and interactive research environment in a new research building, including state-of-the-art microscopy and software tools, and access to a variety of mouse models. Collaborations within and outside of the department are encouraged.

 

Applications should be sent to Prof. Dr. Jochen Herms, Zentrum für Neuropathologie, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, Feodor-Lynen-Str. 23, 81377 München, Germany, Phone: +49 089 2180-78010, submit electronically as one file to sonja.Einhaus@med.uni-muenchen.de
