Center for Translational Neuromedicine

University of Copenhagen
We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic researcher at the level of assistant professor for a 2-year position to commence 15 June 2020 or after agreement.
The position focus on the research of how wake-promoting factors use astrocytes to modulate sleep-wake transitions.
Information on the department can be found at www.ctn.ku.dk
Our research group
Center for Translational Neuromedicine currently has 50 employees and students and is divided into 3 labs. CTN is characterized by a highly ambitious research environment. The PhD Fellow will be part of the Nedergaard lab, primarily.
Being part of the Nedergaard lab offers an opportunity to work in a multi-disciplinary lab engaged in neuroscience with a focus on the basic biology of glial cells in the CNS and the role of astrocytes in several neurological diseases, including stroke, spinal cord injury, epilepsy, tremor, and ALS. Research is aimed at defining new strategies for the treatment of neurological diseases that target astrocytic dysfunction.
CTN is part of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen, and is located at Panum. The Center comprises modern laboratories and excellent facilities within neuroscience. The project that we are recruiting for focuses on glial and vascular dynamics driving fluid fluxes in the rodent brain using multiple optical imaging approaches and CT scanning.
Your job
Awake attentive states are fundamental for adaptive behavioral responses, and during awake behavior, astrocytes uniquely respond with cortex-wide Ca2+ increases to activation of the arousal center of brain, locus coeruleus (LC). This astrocytic activation will regulate the extracellular environment to promote transition into more alert brain states. The next step is to investigate how the LC-astrocytic connection promotes sleep-to-wake transitions.
Your tasks would be to set up and perform in vivo fluorescent imaging in freely moving animals and measure the activity of astrocytes and arousal-promoting neural circuits during the different sleep phases as well as sleep-wake transitions. Also, you are expected to train and mentor students at Master level.
The assistant professor’s responsibilities will primarily consist of:
