The Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine, Clinical Neuroscience, invites applications for a position as

Postdoc / Research Associate
for Mouse Behavior

beginning not later than November/December 2017 Highly qualified candidates with a clear commitment to basic and interdisciplinary neurobehavioral/neurocognitive research and a documented focus on mouse behavior are invited to apply. The position requires co-supervision (together with the department head) of a devoted and well trained team of PhD students and a technician, all experienced in the field of mouse behavior. Applicants should hold a PhD in biological sciences or related disciplines. The successful applicant should be fluent in English, have a strong interest in promoting his/her own scientific career in mouse behavior and in working in a multidisciplinary and international team. We are seeking highly enthusiastic and ambitious individuals with particular interest in research in the field of translational/clinical neurosciences. Specifically, the applicant would work on novel mouse models of neuropsychiatric phenotypes, e.g. certain aspects of schizophrenia or autism, with focus on higher cognitive functions and treatment strategies. Applicants ready to work on developing new test systems/paradigms for disease-relevant cognitive phenotypes are particularly welcome. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply. Applications should be submitted, preferably via e-mail, to Prof. Ehrenreich, via the depart­ment secretary, Mrs. Wiebke Timner, until October 15, 2017. Clinical Neuroscience
