Heidelberg, Deutschland Universität Heidelberg Vollzeit

Heidelberg University is a comprehensive university with a strong focus on research and an international standard. With around 30,000 students and 8,400 employees, including numerous top researchers, it is a globally respected institution that also has outstanding economic significance for the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.

The Center for Organismal Studies Heidelberg (COS Heidelberg) is a central scientific institution of Heidelberg University with 23 research groups representing the entire spectrum of life sciences in research and teaching. The Department “Evolutionary Neurobiology” offers from the earliest possible date, the following 65% position limited to 3 years.

**PhD Position in Biology (f/m/d)**

“Application of a high-throughput array tomography vEM pipeline to study the diversity of marine larvae and sensory cell types”. This Project is part of The Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network: "ZooCELL: Tracing the evolution of sensory cell types in animal diversity: multidisciplinary training in 3D cellular reconstruction, multimodal data analysis and science outreach".

**Your Tasks**:

- The project will offer in-depth training in the volume electron microscopy (vEM) of marine larvae. One goal will be to obtain a high-quality full-body EM volume of a six-day-old Platynereis dumerilii juvenile and analyse the volume in collaboration with other students of the network
- Coordinating with other vEM projects in the network
- Extensive data analysis, including skeletonisation, working with volume-segmented data, cell-type and connectome annotation, and network analysis
- The project will inform the evolution of larval form and sensory cell types

**Your Profile**:

- Master degree in science, preferably in Biology
- Practical experience in molecular, cell or developmental biology, microscopy and/or image analysis will be an advantage
- Strongly motivated students from other disciplines (e.g. physics, biophysics) are also encouraged to apply
- Able to communicate fluently in English
- German language skills are not required

**We Offer**:

- Work in an international research team at a vibrant research institute at one of the largest life-science campuses in Europe
- Participation in regular group activities including retreats to marine stations
- Opportunities for further professional development including courses and training events
- Support from the team and PI to achieve their potential and develop their career

The position is basically divisible. Depending on qualifications, payment is made up to EG 13 TV-L.
