The **Otto-von-Guericke University** and **Leibniz Institute for Neurobiology (LIN)** have a long tradition of **world-leading research on learning and memory**, both in animals and humans. The labs of Dr Azañón and Dr Stenner have first-rate access to Magdeburg's **excellent, state-of-the-art facilities for non-invasive human electrophysiology and neuroimaging**, including MEG, EEG, TMS, 7T, 3T MRI (all on the same campus where the LIN is located, and supported by expert staff). Close collaboration with Neurology and Stereotactic Neurosurgery enables systematic invasive human electrophysiology and **studies involving clinical populations**.

The Magdeburg neuroscience community provides a vibrant, international, highly inspiring, friendly and supportive research environment. Dr Azañón’s and Dr Stenner’s labs hold weekly joint lab meetings, in addition to regular department and institute meetings, and provide a **supportive, aspiring, and friendly atmosphere**. Magdeburg is a growing, intriguing city with lots of activities beyond work (second greenest city in Germany) and a strong, friendly academic community.
