The research group of Prof. Dr. Stephan Sigrist at the Institute of Biology of the Free University of Berlin is seeking a highly motivated PhDstudent (m/f/d) for the ERC-funded project SynProtect. The project investigates how neuronal synapsesremain both adaptable and stable – how they enable learning and experience withoutlosing the precision of their signal transmission under stress, sleep deprivation, or with age. This is what you can expect from us This position is embedded in a research program investigating the functional organization of synaptic networks under conditions of increased neuronal stress, particularly in the context of sleep homeostasis and resilience. The focus is on a novel form of presynaptic plasticity (“PreScale”) in which structural changes in the active zone are coupled with mechanisms of intrinsic excitability. Preliminary work shows that this coupling, via Kv1/shaker-dependent potassium channels, fundamentally influences the properties of synaptic transmission, especially through frequency-dependent modulation of neurotransmitter release and short-term plasticity. The aim of this project is to functionally elucidate these relationships using a clearly electrophysiological approach. The successful applicant will conduct a project focused on the quantitative analysis of presynaptic function. The focus will be on electrophysiological recordings at Drosophila synapses, particularly at the neuromuscular junction and – in the future – at central synapses. Parameters of synaptic transmission, such as spontaneous and evoked release events, vesicle release probability, and forms of short-term plasticity, will be systematically investigated. A particular focus will be on the functional coupling between structural changes in the active zone and the regulation of neuronal excitability, especially via Kv1/shaker channels, and their influence on action potential dynamics, Ca²⁺ influx, and synaptic signal processing. Furthermore, the project will analyze how these mechanisms affect synaptic function under different activity regimes, particularly with varying stimulation frequencies, and how they contribute to the stabilization of neuronal networks. The project integrates genetic manipulations with functional measurements and is closely linked to complementary structural and molecular approaches within the ERC project. What you bring with you The required qualification for employment is a completed academic university degree (Master’s / Diploma) in neuroscience, biology, biophysics or a related field.  This is what we expect from you A strong interest in electrophysiological questions, as well as synaptic function and neuronal signal processing, is desired. Practical experience working with Drosophila (e.g., genetics, lineage management, experimental handling) is desirable. Initial experience with electrophysiological methods is advantageous, as is knowledge of quantitative data analysis or programming (e.g., Python, MATLAB). Furthermore, an independent and structured work style, teamwork skills, and very good German and English skills are expected. Our offer/Your benefits Freie Universität Berlin offers an excellent, internationally oriented research environment with access to modern electrophysiological and imaging methods, as well as close ties to interdisciplinary networks such as NeuroCure and SynDiv. The position offers the opportunity for structured doctoral studies within an ERC-funded project and in-depth training in modern synaptic neurobiology.

Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland The University of Auckland is Aotearoa  New Zealand’s leading university. With more than 6,000 academic and professional staff supporting over 46,000 students, we are proud to be one of the country’s largest and most diverse employers. Our people are driven by curiosity, purpose, and a shared commitment to creating positive impact for our communities. Our lecturers and researchers are regarded as experts in their fields, frequently directing global research projects designed to better the lives of New Zealanders and the world, and in turn passing this knowledge on to our students. Job Description Te Whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity A Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Chronobiology Research Group at the University of Auckland is available for a project entitled: “Spying on the secret lives of bees: Understanding the importance of eusocial clocks for honeybee behaviour” We have a 20-month position for a post-doctoral scientist to work with us on a Marsden funded grant in which we are investigating honey bee behaviour by monitoring the patterns of electrostatic fields signatures they produce inside the hive.  Using a systems approach, and new technology which allows us to measure the electrostatic charge signatures bees produce and use to communicate inside the hive, we will establish how the honeybee super-clock is controlled in its natural state. Robust daily rhythms are essential to the health and well-being of all organisms, and the breakdown of rhythms can even be used to reliably predict death. Honey bees have a complex social structure controlled by their daily (circadian) clock. This clock is at the heart of the colony structure, and without it the colony cannot function. We currently have a poor understanding of how the honeybee clock ticks. This is because it has not been possible to observe behaviour inside the hive without opening it, which damages the colony and disrupts behaviour. In this project we will use new cutting-edge technology (bee spy) to non-invasively study the honeybee clock in its natural state for the first time. This will enable us to understand how the clock is controlled, and how we can manipulate it to improve the health and management of bees. This is an international collaborative project between the University of Auckland and the Free University of Berlin funded by a grant from the Marsden Fund. This is a fulltime (40 hours per week) fixed term opportunity for 20 months. The salary range for this role is $92,213 – $97,083 based on skills and experience.
