Senior Neurobiologist

Establish your career as a Senior Neurobiologist in our interdisciplinary research team at Universität Konstanz, focusing on the neurobiology of insects.

We are an international team with expertise spanning from optophysiology and electrophysiology to behaviour and computational neuroscience. Our working language is English, and we have been successful in the German Excellence Initiative since 2007.

The annual salary for this position is approximately €60,000 to €80,000, depending on qualifications and experience. You will also receive good development opportunities, extensive training, and an attractive remuneration package.

This senior researcher position involves developing your own research field, preferably focusing on the neuronal basis of olfactory processing and social behaviour in insects. You will participate in collaborative research projects within and outside the department, contributing to teaching in Zoology and Neuroscience at various proficiency levels.

To be eligible, you should hold a Ph.D. and have a background in neurobiology and insect behaviour. Strong interpersonal, communication, organizational, and influence skills are essential. Applicants with expertise in insect olfaction and olfactory coding, learning and memory, computational neuroscience, collective behaviour, odour communication in social insects, or action selection in insects are particularly welcome.

We provide an interdisciplinary, exciting, and international research environment for studying the neurobiology of insects. You will have access to state-of-the-art equipment in the Neuroscience group and central facilities of the department of Biology. Join us and contribute to advancing our understanding of the complex relationships between insects and their environments.
