Job ID: 123337 Postdoctoral Electrophysiology in Neuroplasticity and Regeneration, Ampatzis Lab, Karolinska Institutet Position: Post-doctoral Position Deadline: 31 October 2025 Contract Length: 2 years City: Stockholm Country: Sweden Institution: Karolinska Institutet Department: Neuroscience Description: The Ampatzis Lab at Karolinska Institutet is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow with strong expertise in electrophysiology to investigate mechanisms of neuroplasticity and regeneration using the zebrafish model system. Our lab applies multidisciplinary approaches to understand how the nervous system adapts to physiological and pathological changes. Position Summary We are looking for a passionate, organized, and creative scientist with solid hands-on experience in electrophysiological recordings, especially whole-cell patch-clamp, and a strong interest in neural circuit function and plasticity. The earliest start date is Autumn 2025, but this may change when a suitable candidate is found. Key Responsibilities – Design and perform in vivo and ex vivo neurophysiological experiments in zebrafish. – Analyze and interpret electrophysiological data using advanced data analysis tools. – Integrate electrophysiological data with anatomical and behavioral findings. – Maintain and troubleshoot electrophysiology equipment. – Collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary research team. – Present findings in publications and scientific meetings. Qualifications – Ph.D. in Neuroscience or a related field (obtained within the last 2 years). – Proven experience in electrophysiological techniques, particularly whole-cell patch-clamp. – Experience with zebrafish or spinal cord circuits is advantageous but not required. – Strong written and verbal communication skills in English. – Ability to work both independently and as part of a team. – Demonstrated experience in scientific writing and reporting. What We Offer – A fully-funded 2-year stipend position, with the possibility of extension to a 2–3-year salary position based on performance. – A collaborative and supportive research environment focused on cutting-edge neuroscience. – Opportunities to develop an independent research profile within the field of neuroplasticity and regeneration.
