We are looking for a Laboratory Assistant at Department of Neuroscience, to start 1 January 2024 or as soon as possible hereafter. The position is time limited until and including 31 August 2024.
Our group and research
The Walter lab is doing research in neurobiology. Our projects and methods focus on chemical synaptic transmission, the primary mode of information transfer in the nervous system. Our experimental system is the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster , a powerful genetic model system. In particular, we are interested to understand how the molecular components of the synapse allow for fast and precise communication and how they mediate changes to store information or maintain transmission under pathological conditions (Reddy- Alla et al., Neuron 2017 Sep 13;95(6):1350-1364; Böhme et al., Nat Commun. 2019 Mar 6;10(1):1085). In a new line of research, we will make use of the genetic toolbox available in Drosophila to investigate whether and how human disease mutations cause to synapse pathology.
