We are interested in the cellular and network mechanisms responsible for the generation of spike and wave discharges, the electrophysiological hallmark of absence epilepsy. The project aims to investigate the effects of novel potassium channel modulators (K2P and Kv7) on physiological and pathophysiological network activity in a genetic rodent model of absence epilepsy, which will be investigated in close collaboration within the ChemBion training group. We will provide a structured 3-year cutting-edge Ph.D. student training program in and beyond the fields mentioned above.What we expect : We are looking for a motivated Ph.D. student holding a state examination degree in pharmacy or, alternatively, a master’s degree in chemistry, biochemistry or neurobiology. Excellent command of spoken and written English, communication skills, as well as team spirit are essential. German language skills are not a requirement, but a willingness to learn the language is desirable. As the project involves work with laboratory rodents, a FELASA certificate or an equivalent qualification is highly desirable.For inquiries, please contact : Dr. Annika Lüttjohann, T 0251 83-55531We are looking forward to your online application by 07.05.2025 Formal applications should include : Motivation letter (0.5 pages)CVCertificatesField of expertiseA reference letter is welcomeBENEFITSExciting ProjectsProfessional Development and TrainingInterdisciplinary CollaborationPart of Research InnovationAdditional BenefitsExciting ProjectsProfessional Development and TrainingInterdisciplinary CollaborationPart of Research InnovationAdditional Benefits(
