<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;line-height:115%"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%">A PhD position is available in the lab of Tim Gollisch at the University Medical Center Göttingen, Germany. The PhD project will
investigate how optogenetics can be used for vision restoration therapy to treat blindness. The work will involve multielectrode arrays to record spiking activity from isolated retinas of mice that express light-sensitive ion channels in retinal neurons. Furthermore,
computational tools will be used for model-driven data analysis and assessment of neural coding under optogenetic stimulation. Prior experience with electrophysiology or computational analyses/computer programming will be considered advantageous for the application.
The position will be available starting April 1, 2025, at the earliest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
