Vacancies ⁽¹¹⁾

Research

You will, together with a PhD student, identify targets promoting remyelination in human post mortem MS brain tissue and validate these targets in vitro. In addition, you will be involved in the immunohistochemical analyses of effects of targets tested in animal models for MS. Development of non-invasive viral vectors to deliver the targets to the CNS and evaluation of the effects in animal models, will be done by an additional postdoctoral fellow, PhD student and technician of the Start2Cure team “Regenerative Gene Therapy for MS”.

38 hours

2 years with additional 2 years

Internship

Visual information that enters our eyes is immediately relayed to the brain. From there on, it is processed extensively. Our lab uses fMRI and psychophysics to increase our understanding of the visual system, for example using the population receptive field (pRF) method (Dumoulin & Wandell, 2008).

Fulltime

9-15 months

Internship

In this internship, you will use the newly developed linescanning technique to visualise functional responses as a function of cortical depth, using the 7T system at the Spinoza Centre.

Fulltime

6-12 months

Research

You will be able to take advantage of the latest in vitro and in vivo microscopy approaches to investigate how developing synapses capture mitochondria and how mitochondria contribute to the healthy development of synapses.

Fulltime

4 years

Internship

In this internship, you will use Python to develop an automated analysis method for the detection of synapse activity throughout brain development.

Fulltime

6 - 12 months

Research

A postdoc position is available in the Vision & Cognition group at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience in Amsterdam. The aim is to understand visual perception and plasticity elicited by electrical stimulation of the visual cortex in mice, with the ultimate aim to create a visual cortical prosthesis to restore a rudimentary form of vision for the blind.

Fulltime

3 years
