At the Department of Neuro and Sensory Physiology
of the University of Goettingen several positions
are available for PhD candidates and one PostDoc
position:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first research group concentrates on basic mechanisms of synaptic
transmission and neuromodulation in functional _in vitro_ networks
of wild type and mutant mice. Modern neurophysiological methods employed
include whole-cell and single-channel analyses, rapid application of receptor
agonists and antagonists, infrared microscopy, microfluorimetric imaging and
single-cell PCR techniques.
The work is closely associated with the SFB 406 Program "Synaptic Interaction
in Neuronal Networks" of the University of Goettingen, local Max-Planck
Institutes and the German Primate Center.

The second research group investigates receptor and transduction mechanisms
in the olfactory system. We have a position open for a PhD candidate, financed
by a program of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft on the subject, "Molecular
Sensory Physiology".
