København N
Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen
We are looking for a highly motivated and dynamic researcher for a 2-year position to start at December 1st 2024, or after agreement.
The project includes the study of cellular models of neurodevelopmental delay and epilepsy using live cell imaging of neuronal activity. The purpose is to detect consequences of disease mutation on the circuit level using imaging methods, which will be amenable to drug discovery.
Information on our research group can be found: https://in.ku.dk/research/sorensen-lab/
Our research
Our research group is interested in the mechanism of neurotransmitter release in chemical synapses, and the molecular basis for neurodevelopmental diseases and epilepsy (see Verhage and Sørensen, 2020, Neuron 107:22-37). We study these properties using an interdisciplinary approach, which includes human induced pluripotent stem cell (hIPSC)-derived neurons or mouse neurons, combined with microscopy, electrophysiology, and more lately omics methods. Our group is international and based on teamwork and interdisciplinarity. We collaborate with clinicians and patient groups. Our group is inclusive and fosters a collaborative and supportive spirit.
Your job
We have developed several different murine and human models of neurodevelopmental disease, based on mutation in the neurotransmitter release machinery (e.g. Kádková et al., 2024, Elife 13:RP886197). We now want to investigate how these mutations give rise to aberrant circuit activity underlying epilepsy and neurodevelopmental delays. Your task will be to use live cell microscopy of in vitro neuronal populations with fluorescent reporters, perform image analysis, and identify imaging parameters that are changed by mutation.
Qualifications:
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist with a high potential for original research.
