Besides an interesting and disease-relevant project, we offer the opportunity to connect to internationally renowned scientists.
We are seeking candidates with a strong background in biochemistry, with in depth experience in
Heterologous protein expression und purification
Characterization of proteins
Analysis of protein interactions (e.g. surface plasmon resonance, isothermal titration calorimetry, analytical ultracentrifugation, dynamic light scattering)
The salary level will be according to TVöD (Bund) (public salary scale).
The position is fixed term for three years with possible extension.
The Max Planck Society seeks to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented and therefore explicitly encourages women to apply.

Postdoctoral fellowship (2 years) in Marine Ecology: Carbon cycling in Arctic benthos
A two-year postdoc fellowship in Marin Ecology: Carbon cycling in Arctic benthos is available at the Faculty of Biosciences and Aquaculture, Nord University (Bodø, Norway) from March 1th, 2019.
FBA invites applications from outstanding candidates for a two-year Post-doctoral position within a research project on carbon cycling in Arctic benthic ecosystems. The position is affiliated with the Research Group Ecology and the successful candidate will join the Benthos Ecology research unit.
A significant portion of the position involves studying carbon cycling pathways in Arctic marine benthic communities in conjunction with the Nansen Legacy project. The candidate will design and conduct benthic-process experiments during a series of research cruises in 2019-2020 in collaboration with Akvaplan-Niva and other project partners. The postdoc is supposed to contribute to the planning and design of the field studies.
The post-doc project aims to improve the knowledge of carbon and nutrient cycling through the food web of arctic communities in the northern Barents Sea and adjacent slope, which is the study area of this project. Here, climate change effects were observed and predicted to occur rapidly, while the biological consequences are poorly understood. In collaboration with the Nansen legacy project we will focus on how climate change might affect the seasonal cycles and in consequence the linked biological processes in the northern Barents Sea.
The candidate is expected to work independently in an international and interdisciplinary project team and will supervise master and PhD students.

Postdoc in auditory thalamocortical system modeling & data analysis
A computational neuroscience postdoctoral position is available at the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research under the auspices of a NIH R01 (MPI: Peter Lakatos, Sam Neymotin).
The aim of our project is to develop/utilize computer models of the auditory thalamocortical system to investigate mechanisms and functions of neuronal oscillatory patterns observed in the auditory system in the electrophysiological recordings from Dr. Lakatos' group. The broad goal is to develop a biologically-realistic data-driven computer model of the thalamocortical auditory system that is able to support critical auditory information processing features, with special emphasis on neuronal oscillations. The combined in vivo and in silico results of our project will pave the way for model-driven neuromodulation, offering precise predictions on how to efficiently control biological circuits. Besides modeling,our group also focuses heavily on developing and applying novel signal processing techniques for the analysis of electrophysiological data on multiple spatial scales, from single neurons to ECoG recordings.
Applicants should have a strong background in: computer programming, with demonstrated proficiency in Python and Matlab, analysis of electrophysiological data, development of signal processing methods for neural data, detailed computational modeling of neurons/neuronal circuits using NEURON with Python.
The job will be based at the Nathan Kline Institute (www.nki.rfmh.org ~1 hour north of NYC), but some telecommuting will be allowed. Applicants should contact Sam Neymotin by email (samuel.neymotin@nki.rfmh.org) with a CV and cover letter. The Nathan Kline Institute is an equal opportunity employer.

A computational neuroscience postdoctoral position is available at the Nathan Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research under the auspices of a NIH R01 (MPI: Peter Lakatos, Sam Neymotin).
The aim of our project is to develop/utilize computer models of the auditory thalamocortical system to investigate mechanisms and functions of neuronal oscillatory patterns observed in the auditory system in the electrophysiological recordings from Dr. Lakatos' group. The broad goal is to develop a biologically-realistic data-driven computer model of the thalamocortical auditory system that is able to support critical auditory information processing features, with special emphasis on neuronal oscillations. The combined in vivo and in silico results of our project will pave the way for model-driven neuromodulation, offering precise predictions on how to efficiently control biological circuits. Besides modeling,our group also focuses heavily on developing and applying novel signal processing techniques for the analysis of electrophysiological data on multiple spatial scales, from single neurons to ECoG recordings.

Use of Breath Diagnostics for cancer detection in Rural & Urban India
Cancer is the second most common cause of death worldwide [1] and stomach cancer the third leading cause of cancer deaths [2]. Nearly 2/3rds of these deaths occur in developing countries like India. Helicobacter pylori (HP) bacteria is a major cause of stomach cancer and is easily curable with early detection. However, existing diagnostic tests in developing countries are invasive and costly. Further, infrastructural challenges in developing countries make access to detection and prevention impossible for most.
The Open University developed a novel diagnostic breath analysis tool with Oxford Micromedical Ltd, to non-invasively test for HP and in partnership with Tech Mahindra, this tool will be rolled out in India in 2020. This studentship will support doctoral research to study challenges, opportunities and potential solutions associated with adoption of breath analyser tool in the healthcare system of developing countries. It will further contribute to development of a model for inclusive health through engagement with all the stakeholders involved, ranging from patients, health workers, clinicians, funders and policymakers.

Inclusive Health: Use of Breath Diagnostics for cancer detection in Rural & Urban India
Multiple Postdocs available in the Neurobiology of Language
Multiple Postdoctoral research positions are available in the Tandon Lab at The University of Texas in Houston as part of the newly formed Texas Epilepsy Neurotechnologies and Neuroinformatics (TENN) Institute. Positions are funded either via multi year Institute funding or by NIH funds (an R01 and a U01). The lab uses multimodal approaches – fMRI, lesional analysis following epilepsy surgery, intracranial recordings and direct stimulation to create validate network level representations of language. Lab Collaborators include Greg Hickok (UCI), Stanislas Dehaene (NeuroSpin), Nathan Crone (JHU), Simon Fisher Baum (Rice) and Xaq Pitkow (Rice-Baylor); the post-doc will benefit from a close interaction with these experts in the fields of reading, semantics, speech production and computational neuroscience.
The selected individual must have a Ph.D. in one or more of the following: neuroscience, psychology, cognitive science, mathematics, electrical engineering or computer science. Previous experience in neural time series data analysis, functional imaging studies of language, or studies of speech production are desirable – but not crucial. They must possess the ability to independently code in any or all of the following: MATLAB, R or python.
They are expected to be highly motivated, team players with a passion to study cognitive processes using any or all of the various modalities available in the lab - imaging, direct recordings and closed-loop cortical stimulation in humans. Given the multiple unpredictable variables and privacy issues around data collection in human patients, the individual must possess high ethical and professional standards and be adaptable. A strong publication record and excellent academic credentials are highly desirable.
