POSTDOC IN SYNAPTIC NEUROSCIENCE/2P FLIM-FRET MICROSCOPY

At the Department of Biomedicine, Faculty of Medicine, a full-time temporary postdoctoral position in synaptic neuroscience/two-photon imaging is available for three (3) years.

The position is part of the Top Research (Toppforsk) project “Molecular control of Arc protein: decoding a master regulator of synaptic plasticity and cognition”, funded by the Research Council of Norway. The project is led by Professor Clive Bramham of the Neuroscience Research Group.

The project team is multidisciplinary with expertise in molecular neuroscience, live-cell imaging, electrophysiology, protein structural biology, biophysics, and biochemistry.

Project and Postdoctoral Fellow
The candidate will focus on two-photon FLIM-FRET imaging of protein-protein interactions in the context of long-term synaptic plasticity in hippocampal slices and live rodents.

For further information about the project and the position, please contact Professor Clive R. Bramham, phone: [phone] or e-mail: [hidden email]

Qualifications and qualities
• The applicant must have a doctoral degree in cellular or molecular neuroscience, live-cell imaging technology, or a related discipline.
• The applicant must have experience with live-cell FRET imaging, preferably FLIM.  
• The applicant must have a strong track-record of scientific publication.
• Experience with 2P glutamate uncaging and single spine imaging in brain slices is an advantage.
• Experience with 2P deep brain imaging and optogenetics in live rodents is an advantage.
• Experience in cloning and design of proteins for imaging is an advantage.
• The candidate should be proficient in written and oral English
• Personal skills will be emphasized. The candidate should be able to work independently and interactively in a team setting, be motivated and responsible, and also have a great work capacity and enthusiasm for research
