Endbulbs of Held are the first central synapses of the auditory pathway. They are located in the anteroventral cochlear nucleus within the lower brainstem, and play a key role for auditory processing tasks such as sound localization or speech reception. We investigate how the protein composition as well as cellular and subcellular structures like mitochondria of these specialized synapses are affected during time periods of deafness, or under acute changes of synaptic activity. We employ light and especially electron microscopy to determine alterations in synapse molecular composition and synapse morphology.

The offered PhD project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG, CRC 1286, “Quantitative Synaptology”) and is part of the Molecular Architecture of Synapses Research Group of the Institute for Auditory Neuroscience at the Center for Biostructural Imaging of Neurodegeneration (BIN).

The Göttingen Campus is a leading neuroscience center in Europe hosting numerous prestigious and internationally renowned neuroscience research institutions. This includes the University, two Max Planck Institutes, the European Neuroscience Institute and the German Primate Center, as well as further collaborative research programs.

The University Medical Center Göttingen is committed to professional equality. We therefore seek to increase the proportion of under-represented genders. Applicants with disabilities and equal qualifications will be given preferential treatment.
