Postdoctoral Fellow to Work On Cortical Interneuron Development
il y a 4 heures
**Job description**:
The Laboratory of Interneuron Developmental Dynamics, led by Dr. Lynette Lim at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & Disease Research, is recruiting an outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow to explore the developmental logic of inhibitory circuits in the brain.
Location: Leuven, Belgium — a vibrant university town and neuroscience hub in the heart of Europe.
Focus: Understanding how cortical interneurons are generated, matured, and assembled into functional circuits — and how their disruption contributes to neurological and neurodegenerative diseases.
**Our Research**:
We investigate how diverse classes of inhibitory neurons are specified and integrated into brain circuits during development. Our work bridges developmental neurobiology, disease modeling, and systems neuroscience. To do this, we integrate mouse genetics & in vivo imaging, CRISPR gene editing, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, high-content imaging & bioinformatics, electrophysiology & disease modeling
**Our lab culture**:
We are a close-knit, international team of scientists from five countries across three continents, committed to rigorous science, open dialogue, and diversity of thought. Our lab values scientific curiosity, intellectual independence, and collaborative spirit.
**Profile**:
- The first author of at least one peer-reviewed research article from your PhD.
- Skilled in experimental neurobiology and molecular biology; experience with in vivo models, imaging, or stem cell systems is a plus.
- Motivated, resilient, and excited to grow as a project leader and independent thinker.
**What we offer**:
The initial appointment is for 2 years, and a possible extension to 3-5 years. Starting date is flexible.
**How to apply?**:
