Switzerland: PhD Studentship in Biology, University of Fribourg

This project aims to understand the neural circuits controlling behavior.

We investigated the neural networks in decision-directed navigation fruit fly larvae in response to optical stimulation assessed by the state-of-the-art high-resolution behavior analysis and molecular genetics.

Candidates must be:
- Hold a master's degree in informatics,, mathematical physics or biology.
- Having a strong background in programming.
- Be collaborative, creative and independent.
- A background in the nervous system would be a plus.

This position is fully funded at a very competitive Swiss standards.
