The Neural Control of Movement Laboratory (NCM) in the Department of Health Sciences and Technology (D-HEST) of ETH Zurich has an opening for a fully funded
PhD position in small animal neuromodulation and neuroimaging
The goal of this project will be to gain better understanding of the neural basis of autistic behavior. The applicant will develop and apply new technologies for neuromodulation and neuroimaging in animal models for Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Planned studies will utilize MR imaging, optogenetic, pharmacogenetic, molecular and behavioral methods to explore the neural circuitry linking brain stimulation, functional connectivity and behavior.

ETH has access to excellent technical facilities including small-animals 7T and 9.4T MR scanners and laboratories for behavioral testing and optogenetics.
Employment is expected to begin in the second half of 2015 and international applicants are welcome.
A successful applicant will have, or is expected to soon receive a Master’s degree in one of the following disciplines: Neuroscience, Biology, Biomedical Engineering or Health Sciences and Technology. Proficiency in English and the ability to communicate with collaborators across a range of disciplines will be required. Candidate must be highly motivated to perform innovative large-scale studies and willing to work with small animals. Prior experience with optogenetic and/or image analysis is preferred but not mandatory. Above all, candidates should be enthusiastic with a strong willingness to learn new skills.
