We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic scientist for a 3‑year PhD fellowship starting 1 December 2026. The role focuses on brain neuro‑vascular signalling in novel brain‑machine interfaces, employing in‑vivo two‑photon microscopy in awake transgenic mice and in‑vitro patch clamp in mouse brain slices.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform in‑vitro patch clamp experiments in mouse brain slices.
• Conduct microsurgeries to implant chronic cranial windows and novel brain stimulation probes in transgenic mice.
• Train mice and perform longitudinal two‑photon imaging studies.
• Analyze experimental data.
• Carry out an independent research project under supervision.
• Complete approximately 30 ECTS of PhD courses or equivalent education.
• Participate in active research environments, including a stay at another research team.
