POSTDOC POSITION in CARDIAC CELLULAR ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY AND MECHANICS

Description:

Adequate electrical activity is vital for the proper mechanical function of the heart. Its disturbances resulting in arrhythmias are the basis of myocardial dysfunction in various cardiac pathologies. Our research group is working at the Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University (MU; Brno, Czech Republic; https://www.med.muni.cz/o-fakulte/organizacni-struktura/pracoviste/fyziologicky-ustav/vyzkumna-skupina-markety-bebarove). We mostly focus on analysis of changes in cardiac cellular electrophysiology and mechanics caused by pharmacological agents or variants in genes encoding cardiac ionic channels and associated proteins, using both electrophysiological techniques (whole cell patch clamp and microelectrode array techniques) and optical analysis of cardiomyocyte contraction and Ca2+ transient. These studies proceed in tight cooperation with clinical cardiologists and geneticists from the University Hospital Brno. The experiments are performed on enzymatically isolated cardiomyocytes, cell lines expressing human cardiac ionic channels, and cardiomyocytes derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC-CMs).

We are looking for a motivated postdoc interested in the field of cardiac cellular electrophysiology and experienced in the differentiation of hiPSC-CMs.

Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University

Department: Erik D. Fagerholm Research Group: Computational Neuroscience – Faculty of Medicine
Deadline: 31 Jan 2025
Start date: April 2025 or upon agreement
Job type: full-time
Job field: Science and research

The Medical Faculty of Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic) invites excellent early-stage scientists to apply for a two-year

POSTDOC POSITION in the field of Computational Neuroscience

We are offering an opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher with a background in applying mathematical models to the study of the brain to join a newly established group at the First Department of Neurology at Masaryk University.

The goal of our research group is to create robust computational frameworks with which to better understand how information is processed across the vast range of scales observed in neuronal systems — i.e., from the microscopic (individual neuron), to mesoscopic (neuronal circuit) and macroscopic (entire brain regions). This is a timely and ambitious direction of research, as the rigorous physical frameworks that have pervaded all other fields of science and engineering have yet to make their impact on modern neuroscience.

The other main aim of our group is to use such frameworks to create cross-disciplinary bridges between computational and clinical neuroscience. Specifically, candidates should have an interest in applying computational methods to address the identification/intervention of epileptic seizures.

The candidate will have the opportunity to co-supervise incoming PhD students to gain mentorship experience.

As a member of a newly founded team, the candidate will have the academic freedom to pursue their own scientific ideas with a level of independence that would otherwise only be possible via personal research fellowships.

The successful candidate should:


	Hold a Ph.D. or its equivalent, awarded within the past 7 years, AND have worked in research in the field of computational neuroscience for at least 2 years of work, within the last 3 years, outside the Czech Republic (with a workload equivalent to at least 0.5 full-time employment)
	Alternatively, hold a Ph.D. diploma (or equivalent) from an international institution awarded within the past 3 years
	Demonstrate a publication record that includes a minimum of three research outputs (articles) within the past three years, surpassing the field's median standards, with at least two of them ranked in Q1 according to Web of Science.


Specific qualifications include:


	Experience in analysing neuroimaging timeseries (e.g., EEG and fMRI)
	Experience in creating and implementing mathematical models of cross-scale neural systems
	Experience in implementing computational models of neural systems in common programming languages (e.g., MATLAB, Python)
	Experience in applying computational models to clinical applications — in particular to epilepsy


Include these in your application:


	A comprehensive CV detailing your publication history
	A copy of your diploma
	Contact information for two referees who can provide insights into your qualifications
	A brief but substantive description of your research focus and the specific topic you intend to investigate. Justify the relevance of this research within the field
	Submission of documents validating that you have accumulated a minimum of two full years of work experience outside the Czech Republic within the past three years, and/or proof of a Ph.D. diploma from a foreign institution.


We offer:


	Access to Core Facilities and state-of-the-art facilities, including advanced imaging and sequencing technologies
	An exceptionally competitive salary, commensurate with the applicant's skills and proficiency.
	An enticing position within a rapidly evolving university precinct.
	A range of diverse and stimulating responsibilities within an outstanding research environment.
	An initial two-year appointment.
	The opportunity to collaborate with a professional team in a comfortable work environment.
	Interaction with renowned scientists within an inspiring, globally-connected setting.
	A dedicated welcome service tailored to the needs of the successful candidate and their family.


Anticipated start date: The position is available from April 2025 or upon agreement
The submission deadline is 31st January 2025

Please submit e-application.

For more information, please contact Martina Vráblíková by e-mail vrablikova@med.muni.cz.
The assessment of applications will begin promptly upon the deadline's closure. Candidates who make the shortlist will receive invitations for interviews within one month following the application deadline.
