Neurophysiology Lab Demo

Th newly established Department of Molecular and Systemic Neurophysiology opens its doors from November 4 -6, 2015, for a lab demo. We will introduce our research projects and show our neurophysiology, microscopy and virtual reality behaviour setups.

If you are interested, please feel free to contact us or just visit us in the new Biology Building at Worringerweg 3 in Aachen.

In addition, npi electronic is offering a demonstration of the Scientifica Multiphoton SliceScope.  During these three days (November 4th – 6th) you will have the chance to get a hands-on experience with the SliceScope – and bring your own samples. If you are interested, please contact us and let us know, which day and time you prefer. In case you want to bring your own sample, please let us know what dyes you are using or what filters are needed.

For the Scientifica SliceScope Demo please contact : www.npielectronic.com

PhD and Postdoc positions available

PhD and Postdoc positions in optophysiology studies of cortical neural activity during navigation in virtual reality

Navigation in virtual reality offers a potent tool to investigate how sensory inputs are integrated into decisions and motor actions. The Department of Neurophysiology focusses on information processing in visual cortex during navigation in virtual reality. Applying state-of-the-art multiphoton imaging and optogentic we visualize and identify cortical neurons and measure their responses to visual input.

We are currently looking for motivated PhD students and Postdocs to participate in these projects. Candidates with a background in neurophysiology or behavior studies are particularly encouraged to apply. We are seeking people with an interactive personality and good communication skills.

The RWTH Aachen is one of Germany’s Excellence Universities and offers an ideal environment for education and scientific exchange and education. And the unique location at the border triangle of Belgium, Holland and Germany makes Aachen a vibrant city with high qualitiy of life.

Applications should include a CV, the academic achievements, a brief statement of research interests including your past experience and names of at least 2 referees. Applications will be accepted until positions are filled.
