Our lab, hosted by the Department of Biomedicine of Basel University, Switzerland, is currently seeking a research associate for a 6-month project. The role would be to write an analysis program in matlab for neuronal data from electrophysiological recordings.
JOB DESCRIPTION
The project consists of writing a professional, user-friendly matlab program for the analysis of electrophysiological data. The successful candidate will interact with experimentalists in our lab, understand their needs and produce a modular and user-friendly matlab program for extracellular neuronal recordings.
Start date is as soon as possible. The period of employment is 6 months.
YOU ARE OUR NEW RESEARCH ASSOCIATE IF YOU:
- Have extensive programming experience in matlab
- Have previously worked with neuroscience data, ideally electrophysiological recordings
- Have the dual ability of analysing researchers’need and translating it into code
- Are a creative problem-solver
- Are a self-starter and an independent researcher
THE BENEFITS
- Collaborate closely with experimentalists in neuroscience
- Gain a valuable working experience in our renowned organisation
- Enjoy an attractive work and life location
- Get a competitive salary
- Advance science
ABOUT THE LAB
www.brainsoundlab.com
The aim of our lab is to understand the role of specific neural circuits in making sense of sounds. We combine optogenetics, in vivo physiology, voltage-sensitive dye imaging and behavioual assays to explore the functions of neuronal circuits in the mouse auditory cortex. Ongoing work in our group focuses on the following questions:
- How do auditory cortical responses develop and how can they be modified?
- What neural circuits are involved in specific sound features, and how can they influence behaviour?
- What influences does the environment have on these neuronal circuits?
- What are the basic units of a sensory feature and of the corresponding circuit?
