(this vacancy is now also open for candidates with a MSc degree)What you will be doing
We are looking for a highly motivated PhD-student (or Postdoc) to work on an NWO-funded project focusing on cellular and circuit mechanisms of predictive coding in the visual system. Predictive coding theory states that the brain continuously compares visual inputs it receives with an experience-based internal model of the environment, and updates this model based on the differences. The project is part of a collaboration in which a novel behavioral paradigm and advanced two-photon imaging is employed to study neural circuits underlying predictive coding (Seignette et al. eLife 2024). You will be responsible for the ex vivo brain slice physiology to determine the role of synaptic, axonal and myelin mechanisms involved in updating the internal model of the environment. The aim is determining the contribution of two inhibitory cell types in this process, the basket- and the chandelier interneurons and role of the axon initial segment plasticity (see e.g. Jamann et al. Nat Commun 2021; Fréal et al. Sci Adv 2023).Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsSpecific RequirementsWhat you will be contributingWhen you apply for a PhD-student position:

Additional InformationBenefitsWhat do we offer?You will be joining a highly collaborative neuroscience research environment and benefit from state-of-the-art infrastructure. The Kole lab is renowned for their fundamental cellular neuron-glia studies of myelinated axons and axon initial segment. The lab is equipped with high-end in vitro electrophysiological, optogenetic and high-speed one and two-photon imaging setups. It concerns a position for 1.0 fte (38 h/week) for one year. In case of proper functioning the employment contract will be extended for 3 years (PhD-student) or 2,5 years (Postdoc). You will have ample opportunities for further development of knowledge and technical skills, through courses at the Academy and (inter)national conferences. You will have extensive opportunities for training and opportunities for personal development.
