PhD Student - Ref.: IOB046
The Institute of Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB), an associated institute of the University of Basel, is seeking a highly motivated PhD Student to join the Franke Group, as of 1st of June 2020 at the earliest.
IOB is a research institute combining basic and clinical research. Its mission is to drive innovations in understanding vision and its diseases and develop new therapies for vision loss. It is a place where your expertise will be valued, your abilities challenged, and your knowledge expanded.
While we have a general understanding of the neural circuitry within the retina, many of the details remain unknown. Furthermore, we lack understanding of the path from vision to behaviour as soon as the signals leave the eye via the optic nerve. We want to bridge this gap by understanding the principles of neural processing from the retina to subcortical areas. We will study neural computations in the context of reflexive visual behaviour and retinal diseases.
The successful candidate will work in a team addressing these questions and will analyse data from extracellular neural recordings, Calcium imaging, and functional ultrasound imaging, and will build models of neural circuits. IOB offers a highly competitive interdisciplinary research environment with access to state-of-the-art recording technology and genetic tools. Via a collaboration with ETH Zürich, we will have the opportunity to be first users of newly developed in vivo extracellular recording technology with large electrode numbers.
