Postdoctoral Position in Synaptic Physiology and Plasticity

Postdoctoral Position in Synaptic Physiology and Plasticity

Position in the laboratory of Alexander M. Walter at the Department of Neuroscience, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Funded by an ERC grant. Initial 2‑year term with possible extension.

Research Project

This 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.

Experimental Approaches in the Laboratory

• Electrophysiology
• Advanced live imaging
• Super‑resolution microscopy
• Drosophila genetics
• Quantitative image analysis
• Computational modeling

Candidate Focus Areas

• Synaptic electrophy...
