Erasmus MC
Join our dynamic research lab, which is at the forefront of investigating advanced optical and electrophysiology techniques. Our primary focus is on dissecting the intricate neural circuit processes that underlie brain disorders and exploring treatment approaches, with a specific emphasis on neuromodulation techniques. This interdisciplinary lab integrates systems, molecular, clinical, and cognitive neuroscience approaches. We highly value critical thinking, open-mindedness, and a profound scientific passion.
The initial team will consist of a staff scientist, 2 PhD 's and PI as well as Bachelor/Master students. The research team is embedded in the neuroscience department of Erasmus MC, which has ample expertise in cutting-edge neuroscience research. The department has close collaborations with clinical departments as well as with the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). Erasmus MC is located in Rotterdam, a vibrant and livable city that offers a multitude of attractions, and is well-connected to other major cities in the Netherlands and abroad.
