Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, HU, Neurocure Cluster, and Universitätsklinikum Jena, UKJ
At HU we research, teach and work for and with society. Free. Independent. Responsible. Courageous and committed. Diverse and open. Aware of our history and focused on the future. Excellent. We are Humboldt-Universität (HU).
At UKJ scientists from more than 50 nations all over the world do research for a advance in medicine. They work both in the field of fundamental biomedical research and in translational and patient-related clinical research.
NeuroCure Berlin is a Cluster of Excellence in the neurosciences funded since 2007 by the German federal and state governments (Excellence Initiative). The focus of the Cluster is on investigating neurological and psychiatric disorders. The aim of this interdisciplinary research network is to better understand disease mechanisms and to develop new therapies.
Open position: Research fellow (m/f/d) in the field of Experimental Biophysics with expected 2/3 part-time employment - E 13 TV-L HU (third-party funding limited until 31.12.2028)
to work with the research groups of Prof. Peter Hegemann (HU) and Prof. Klaus Benndorf (UKJ)

Activities and responsibilities
scientific services in research in the project „Improvement of light-activated ion channels (Channelrhodopsins) for neuronal application by using electrical single channel recording, MD simulation, and molecular engineering\"
Background: Channelrhodopsins are light-gated ion channels from microalgae. They have revolutionized in the past 20 years the neurosciences because they allow if implanted into selected neurons to specifically activate these neurons with light and to understand their function within the large brain context. Recently in a close collaboration with Klaus Benndorf (Jena), it was possible to electrically monitor activity and gating of individual channelrhodopsin molecules and to „see“ and analyze the diversity of multiple open states
- opportunity for own scientific Qualification
