Working at Charité

Our lab's research (https://www.claudiaboehmlab.com/) is dedicated to uncovering how experiences transform neural activity. We focus on learning, the neural circuits and codes governing cognitive flexibility and social cognition and the disruption of cognitive processes in models of increased vulnerability to mental disorders. To address these questions, we use rodent models combined with advanced techniques such as large-scale electrophysiological recordings with Neuropixels probes, innovative behavioral paradigms, optogenetic perturbations, and advanced data analysis methods. 

We are currently looking for a student assistant to support data curation and preprocessing. We are especially interested in candidates looking to continue with a Master's or Bachelor thesis in our group.

Overview of the position

  • Assisting with the curation/processing of experimental data, e.g. video and electrophysiological data
  • Management and maintenance of a GitHub repository

  • You have good programming skills in Python/Matlab
  • You are interested in solving technical problems
  • You have knowledge in neuroscience
  • You work in a structured and solution-oriented manner

Charité offers you

  • The position offers the opportunity to get to know the day-to-day research routine and experimental methods of neuroscientific research, as well as to contribute to ongoing studies
  • team work in an interdisciplinary and motivated team
