Über diesen Job
Description:
My laboratory at Freie Universität Berlin is looking for a PhD student to study " Stress response markers and behavioural changes in viral CNS infections ” (Project P01: Prof. Dr. Sonja Bröer) within a newly established DFG Graduate School 3RTG (Research Training Group 3051/1 "Assessment of Behaviour and Stress Responses to Understand and Improve Veterinary Infectious Disease Models”).
The student will be working with a model of infection-induced seizures, the Theiler’s Murine Encephalomyelitis Virus (TMEV) mouse model, to characterize biomarkers of disease outcome. The candidate will use several in vivo and in vitro techniques (stereotactic surgery, behavioral studies, EEG acquisition and evaluation, or/and flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence microscopy).
The ideal candidate should be a dynamic, highly motivated individual who is willing to learn the techniques and models mentioned and apply them independently. The position serves to enhance one’s own scientific qualifications. We offer the possibility to credit training time as a specialist for veterinary pharmacology and toxicology (Fachtierärzt:in für Pharmakologie und Toxikologie). The doctoral position is integrated into the structured doctoral program of the Research Training Group. Participation in research colloquia, lecture series, and workshops, as well as active engagement in 3RTG activities, is expected.
