PhD Studentship in Biology at University of Fribourg

The project aims to understand neural circuits controlling behavior.

We investigate the neuronal network in directed navigational decision of fruit fly larvae in response to graded optical stimuli by state-of-the-art of high-resolution behavioral analysis and molecular genetics.

A candidate should:
- Hold a masters degree in informatics, mathematics, physics or biology.
- Have a strong background in programing.
- Be collaborative, creative and independent.
- A background in systems neuroscience would be a plus.

The position is fully funded on highly competitive Swiss standards.
