Postdoctoral Researcher

What we offer: 

We are a small, dynamic group of researchers working in the top-ranked research institute in Poland. Each member learns and contributes their specific expertise to carry out their research project, as well as contributes and helps with the research tasks of other members. This way we developed an atmosphere of mutual support and an agile approach to the project management. Each member has a high level of independence and we offer numerous opportunities to advance their skills via participation in training programs, summer schools, conferences, etc. 

We seek a postdoctoral researcher to tackle a project evolving around enhancing/inhibiting synaptic plasticity processes in the central amygdala to modify appetitive and aversive learning. (addiction)  We plan to use pharmacological and optogenetic approaches to modify brain activity. Thus, an experience in mouse behavioral tests and analysis is a must. A background in optogenetics, electrophysiology, and programming will be considered very advantageous. We offer:

• full-time fixed-term employment contract

• salary: ca 9.500 PLN (gross) per month

• employment period: 3,5 years

• the date of project start: May 2024
