<div class=""><font face="Arial" size="2" class=""><span style="color: rgb(80, 81, 80); background-color: rgb(249, 250, 249);" class="">PhD and Postdoc positions in Neuroscience are available in the lab of Associate Professor Koen Vervaeke (<a href="http://www.vervaeke-lab.org" class="">www.vervaeke-lab.org</a>).
The positions are initially funded for a period of 2-3 years and can be extended. The starting date is flexible but preferably between May-September 2018.</span><br style="color: rgb(80, 81, 80);" class="">

<span style="color: rgb(80, 81, 80); background-color: rgb(249, 250, 249);" class="">We are searching for candidates that are interested in cortical circuits. There are two research programs in the lab; Memory and spatial representations in the retrosplenial
cortex, and somatosensation in the barrel cortex. We study behaviour and neural activity in trained rodents using custom-build two-photon microscopes, optogenetics, and in-vivo patch clamp electrophysiology. There are three specific projects; 1) Two-photon
Bessel beam Ca2+ imaging of spines and dendrites during behaviour, 2) In-vivo patch-clamp or extracellular recording during spatial navigation, and 3) Data analysis of behaviour and neural population activity.</span><br style="color: rgb(80, 81, 80);" class="">
