The experimental recordings will consist of chronically implanted multi-electrode arrays (approximately 256 channels) in the parts of the spinal circuitry where the core elements of movement activity is generated. Furthermore, we will implement imaging of genetically expressed Calcium indicaters as a complementary means to the extracellular recordings. </div><div class="" style="box-sizing: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.9375rem; word-break: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><div class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal;">Preferably, the applicant has experience some or most of these areas: </div><ul class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal;"><li class="">In-vivo electrophysiological experiments </li><li class="">Optogenetics/virus/genetic techniques </li><li class="">Data analysis using matlab/python and spike sorting/Calcium imaging. </li><li class="">Computational neuroscience/ modeling aspects of neuroscience. </li></ul><div class="" style="font-variant-ligatures: normal;">The successful applicant will join a thriving neuroscience environment at the Department of neuroscience, University of Copenhagen.

University of Copenhagen has an <a href="https://ism.ku.dk/" class="">International staff mobility program</a> to help accommodate international researcher with practical matters, before arrival such as with residence permit, housing and childcare/school as well as during the stay with salary, tax, pension, insurance, banking as well as getting accustomed with language and culture. They also have a special team to accommodate partners and spouses to locate the professional opportunities in Denmark (<a href="https://ism.ku.dk/dual-career/" class="">dual career/spouse network</a>). The Danish tax authorities have a special low tax (27%) for foreign researchers for the first 5 years (<a href="https://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-GB/You-want-to-apply/Work/Researcher" class="">learn more</a>).
