The Institute of Applied Physiology at the Medical Faculty of Ulm University, Germany offersWe offer an interdisciplinary research team with international collaborations, integrated in anexciting scientific environment at the University of Ulm & the University of Oxford.In a Wellcome Trust funded project, together with the Oxford Parkinson‘s disease Centre(OPDC), as well as within the DFG-funded SFB-1506, we analyse the mechanisms ofdifferential neuronal vulnerability in Aging and in Parkinson‘s disease. We focus on therole of ion channels and activity-related Ca2+ signalling.Our methods deployed include state-of-the-art in vivo and in vitro neuroscience techniqueslike high-end AI-based imaging, electrophysiology, targeted CRISPR/Cas9, Seahorse, andsingle cell transcriptomics approaches (see also: ).As start-date, summer-term 2023 is envisioned, but a prior or later start is possible.The positions...
