职位信息
PhD in Behavioral Neurobiology (m/f/d)
9月15日截止
Join a newly-founded research group at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence and perform ground-breaking work aimed at uncovering the neural mechanisms of alarm calling behavior in birds.
We are seeking an outstanding, highly motivated and talented PhD candidate to work on an international and multidisciplinary research project that was recently funded by the European Research Council. The aim of this novel and exciting project is to understand how the avian brain controls the production of alarm calls, processes alarm calls emitted by conspecifics and generates an adequate response to these important anti-predator signals. Cutting-edge, wireless recording techniques will be used to simultaneously monitor the vocal behavior and the brain activity at the cellular level in groups of wild birds that encounter threats within their natural habitat (see Hoffmann et al. (2019) Nat Commun 10(1):2577 for reference).
Your PhD work will include in-vivo neurophysiology, behavioral observation, neuroanatomy, analysis of behavioral (audio & video) and neuronal data sets, as well as the dissemination of your research results. You will be based in Seewiesen (Southern Bavaria, Germany), but you will also perform extended periods of field work in South Africa and in Australia.
The project team consists of three outstanding scientists affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence in Germany (Dr. Susanne Hoffmann, primary PhD supervisor), with the University of Pretoria in South Africa (Dr. Cornelia Voigt) and with the Deakin University in Australia (Prof. Kate Buchanan).
The position would suit a student with strong interests in neuroscience and animal behavior. Essential requirements include: MSc degree in Biology, Neuroscience, Cognition, Ecology and/or Evolution (or equivalent); high proficiency in the use of the English language; excellent written communication skills; high levels of enthusiasm and motivation; and an ability to work independently and as part of an international team. After training, you need to be able to perform invasive animal experiments, and to collect and analyze brain tissue.
Willingness to travel internationally for extended time periods and to work in field-based settings is an absolute must. Experience in field work with birds and/or in bioacoustics and/or in neurophysiology are desirable.
full-time position as PhD student fully-funded for 4 years in a stimulating and supportive international research environment with English as the main language
attractive remuneration based on the collective agreement for the public service of the federal states of Germany (E13 TVöD, 65%)
(after admission) training in academic, technical and career skills via the International Max Planck Research School - Biological Intelligence (https://imprs-bi.mpg.de)
possibility to participate in international conferences
access to state-of-the-art tools and exceptional research infrastructure
