Postdoc Position in System Neuroscience

We are seeking a highly motivated and dynamic postdoctoral candidate, who is enthusiastic about neural dynamics and sensory processing. The focus of our research is how the combination of sensory signals and internal neural dynamics are integrated to form percepts and drive behavior. We use techniques such as electrophysiology, imaging and optogenetics in behaving mice to investigate the neural circuitries. The laboratory is situated in the city center at the Department of Neuroscience, University of Copenhagen. The work environment is highly international and interdisciplinary with state-of-the-art research facilities. More information can be found on

Your job

You will be investigating cortical processing of pain. The experience of pain is complex and highly influenced by other factors than the sensory stimuli. Understanding the neural circuitries involved in pain processing requires a diverse set of approaches. The research will involve utilizing advanced ex...
