A PhD position is available at the Institute of Animal Physiology at the University of Cologne (Köln), Germany. The work of our group aims to identify genes and mechanism underlying alcoholism. Towards this end we are using the genetic model organism Drosophila melanogaster that shares behavioral and mechanistic similarities to humans. The project focuses on the molecular bases of ethanol induced behavior and the analysis of neurons mediating this behavior. For our studies we are using a combination of genetic, molecular genetic, neuroanatomical and behavioral approaches.
Applicants should have a strong interest in neurobiology and behavior. Experiences in Drosophila genetics, molecular genetics and image analysis techniques including confocal microscopy would be desirable. We are seeking a highly motivated and interested person to join our research group. We provide an interesting and challenging research environment. The position will be financed by a stipend of the Graduate School of Biological Science and is available immediately.
Deadline of the application is the 25th of February 2011.
Please send your application including a cover letter, a CV, name and addresses of two references, and a certification of the academic qualification, preferentially electronically to:
