Postdoctoral Position in Synaptic Physiology and Plasticity

Overview

Postdoctoral Position in Synaptic Physiology and Plasticity. A postdoctoral position is available in the laboratory of Alexander M. Walter at the Department of Neuroscience, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen.

The position is funded by a European Research Council (ERC) grant and is available for an initial 2-year period with the possibility of extension.

Research project

The project investigates molecular and nanoscale mechanisms regulating synaptic transmission and presynaptic plasticity using genetically accessible Drosophila model systems. Current work focuses on how release site organization, active zone dynamics, and neuromodulatory signaling regulate neurotransmitter release at identified synapses.
