招聘簡介:

　　視覺和導航神經回路

　　比利時魯汶市弗蘭德斯神經電子學研究所（Neuro Electronics Research Flanders）視覺行動實驗室（Vincent Bonin，PI）博士和博士后職位（NERF，www.nerf.be）。

　　所選候選人將使用前沿方法，包括病毒追蹤、雙光子細胞成像和高密度電極記錄（neuropixel），研究神經編碼和電路基礎，這些方法是感知決策和/或導航行為的基礎。

　　關于實驗室

　　我們的研究集中在視覺皮層和初級視覺通路，它們的處理和對行為的貢獻。我們在感官處理和神經調節[1-3]、導航[4，5]和神經技術[6，7]領域做出了重大貢獻。正在進行的項目包括皮質功能結構、多感覺整合、皮質可塑性、神經元-神經膠質相互作用和大腦發育。

　　職位描述

　　這是一個資金充足、僅研究的職位，具有很高的獨立性。研究員設計和運行自己的研究項目，并與其他實驗室成員密切合作，開發新的分析和分析，同時提供方法論和概念見解。研究人員與NERF的研究人員以及Vib和Ku-Leuven的合作實驗室有廣泛的互動。強烈鼓勵開展職業發展活動，如在國際科學活動上作專題介紹、編寫資助建議和組織講習班。

　　Neuronal circuits of vision and navigation

　　PhD and Postdoc positions in the Vision-to-Action Laboratory (Vincent Bonin, PI) at Neuro-Electronics Research Flanders in Leuven, Belgium, (NERF, www.nerf.be).

　　The selected candidates will investigate the neural coding and circuitry basis underlying perceptual decisions and/or navigation behavior using cutting-edge approaches, including viral tracing, two-photon cellular imaging and high-density electrode recording (Neuropixel).

　　About the lab

　　Our research is centered on the visual cortex and primary visual pathway, their processing and contributions to behavior. We have made significant contributions to the fields of sensory processing and neuromodulation [1-3], navigation [4, 5], and neurotechnology [6, 7]. Ongoing projects include cortex functional architecture, multisensory integration, cortical plasticity, neuron-glia interactions, and brain development.

　　Job description

　　This is a fully-funded, research-only position that is endowed with a high level of independence. Fellows design and run their own research projects and work closely with other lab members to develop new assays and analyses, contributing with both methodological and conceptual insights. Fellows interact broadly with researchers at NERF and partner labs at VIB and KU Leuven. Career advancement activities such as presentations at international scientific events, writing of funding proposals and organization of workshops are strongly encouraged.

　　Profile

　　Master’s or PhD in neuroscience, biology or related field and experience in electrophysiology, cellular imaging, or quantitative animal behavior. We seek a highly motivated individual with strong quantitative and technical skills and a collaborative spirit. Computational scientists with interest in experimental neuroscience are encouraged to apply.

　　We offer

　　·         Opportunity to do cutting edge science in a supportive and collaborative team.

　　·         State-of-the-art tools and facilities: The laboratory is equipped with multiple setups for multiphoton microscopy, widefield imaging, and high-density electrode recordings (Neuropixels).

　　·         Proximity to exciting research places at the heart of Europe. NERF is within walking distance of KU Leuven on the campus of imec, world-leader in nanoelectronics research. Leuven is a short train ride away from Brussels at the heart of Europe and has a vibrant research community. Reuters has ranked KU Leuven in the top 5 of the world’s most innovative universities.

　　·         Fully-funded, research only positions with benefits.

　　How to apply?

　　The application package should include a CV, the names of 2-3 referees, and a statement specifying career goals, research interests, and how these relate to the interests of the lab.

　　Pre-doctoral fellows should include a copy of their undergraduate and graduate university transcripts. Candidates from other fields should provide a clear statement on objectives and how these fit within the NERF research activities as research statement.
