Postdoctoral Position in Neurophysiology and All-Optical Recordings in Human Neurons Radboud University in Netherlands

A 2-year postdoctoral position is available in the field of neurophysiology at Radboud University, Netherlands, under the supervision of Professor Corette Wierenga. The successful candidate will join a collaborative project involving the labs of Richard van Wezel, Marijn Kuijpers (both at Radboud University), and Imran Avci (VU Amsterdam). The research focuses on performing single cell patch clamp recordings and developing all-optical recording techniques in cultured human neurons. The project will utilize a combination of voltage-sensitive dyes, optogenetics, and optical chips to advance the study of neuronal activity.

This opportunity is ideal for candidates with a strong background in neuroscience, physiology, or biology, and with hands-on experience in patch clamp electrophysiology. Familiarity with advanced optical methods such as voltage-sensitive dyes and optogenetics is highly desirable. The position offers the chance to work in a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment, contributing to cutting-edge research in human neuronal function.

The position is based at Radboud University in Nijmegen, with collaborative links to VU Amsterdam. The announcement does not specify salary or funding details, but the post is a full-time, 2-year contract. Applicants are encouraged to review the LinkedIn post for further details and to contact the supervisors for application procedures. This is an excellent opportunity for postdoctoral researchers interested in neurophysiology, optical recording technologies, and collaborative research in human neuroscience.
