The CAESAR Institute is dedicated to exploring the intricate relationships between neural activity and behavior in various organisms. Our research encompasses a broad spectrum, from microscopic imaging of neural networks to comprehensive behavioral analysis in live subjects.
The Neural Circuitry Research Group focuses on understanding the mechanisms of neural circuits that drive behavior in Drosophila melanogaster. We are currently offering a
Ph.D. opportunity
in neural circuitry research
(m/f/div)
We seek a passionate researcher eager to delve into the neural mechanisms of behavior in fruit flies, utilizing state-of-the-art optical imaging and behavioral methodologies.
Available research topics:
Depending on your research interests, a variety of projects are available that examine the neural circuits associated with behavior, such as those related to learning, memory, or sleep patterns. Our laboratory employs advanced techniques including two-photon calcium imaging and optogenetics to study the fruit fly brain during active behavior. Over recent years, we have pioneered several innovative methods for optical microscopy, imaging, and optogenetics, particularly in the context of flies interacting in virtual environments, as well as for behavioral quantification. These techniques are now being utilized to uncover the computational processes of neural circuits.
Candidate expectations:
- A master's degree in neuroscience, biophysics, physics, physical chemistry, engineering, or a related field.
- Proficiency in programming languages for data analysis (Python, Matlab) and a keen interest in quantitative methodologies for analyzing behavior and neural circuits.
- Enthusiasm for computational modeling, large dataset analysis, and the application of modern data analysis techniques, including machine learning.
- A desire to engage with and comprehend custom-designed scientific instruments.
What we provide:
- An opportunity to collaborate within a diverse, international team.
- Access to cutting-edge laboratories equipped with a variety of innovative behavioral and imaging technologies.
- Competitive compensation aligned with institutional regulations.
- Comprehensive employee benefits, a supportive work culture, and flexible working arrangements.
The CAESAR Institute is committed to fostering equal opportunities and diversity. We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, irrespective of gender, ethnicity, disability, or sexual orientation.
