"Development and maintenance of the nervous system"
Center for Molecular Neurobiology Hamburg (ZMNH)
University Hamburg
March 2013

We seek highly motivated young researcher with interest in neurobiology, molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics and/or electrophysiology.

There are several ongoing projects regarding the physiological function of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain which can be picked up by master or PhD students. Dopaminergic neurons are altered in disease such as Morbus Parkinson and drug addiction. Our lab obtained exciting data from cell culture and unique transgenic mouse models suggesting a strong influence of cell surface receptors on the development and progression of these diseases which can be studied now in great detail.

The ZMNH offers an excellent environment to study neurobiological questions with a multitude of different techniques supported by a modern infrastructure and several service groups. Special benefits can be offered for foreign students.

Institute for Cellular and Molecular Cognition (IMCC)
Center for Molecular Neurobiology Hamburg (ZMNH)
University Medical Center Eppendorf (UKE)

Positions available for Bachelor, Master/Diploma, MD and Ph.D. students

We are looking for students interested in participating in projects assessing the functional role of activity-regulated genes in learning and memory and a variety of neuronal diseases, including addiction, depression, tinnitus and neurodegeneration. We are using mouse genetics for building bridges between molecular biology and systems biology. Several transgenic and knockout animal models, as well as brain-region specific knock downs are currently analyzed in molecular, biochemical, cellular and electrophysiological, as well as behavioral experiments.

If you are ambitious and striving to work in a highly motivated research environment with access to state of the art scientific instrumentation please contact us:
