Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a progressive and debilitating disease. There is growing interest in
the role of the neuronal‐glial interaction and on the individual role of glial cells on neuronal
development. These interactions and individual cell types may constitute potential treatment targets.
The overall aim of our laboratory is to dissect the role of glial cells on neuronal development and the
effect of the environment on neuronal development and vice versa. The project will focus in studies
of advanced cell culture systems, molecular physiology including opportunities to train in patch-clamp,
and studies of animal models.
Essential Qualifications
We are looking for an ambitious, enthusiastic and highly motivated post‐doctoral research associate
with strong skills in molecular and cellular biology. The successful candidate will use molecular/cell development
biology methods to understand how dystrophin in the brain affects neuronal and glial
cell development and function. Candidates must have a PhD in Neurobiology, Biology or Biochemistry.
Other requirements include strong expertise in primary neuronal and glial cell cultures, immune-histochemistry,
protein quantification and in‐vivo assays. Scientifically skilled as shown by scientific
publications and presentations at national and international conferences. Must be fluent in spoken
and written English. It is essential that the applicant is able to work independently to formulate and
design experiments, but good collaboration skills and being a team player are also very important.
Experience of working with cultured astrocytes and neurons, as well as working with animal models
for neurodegenerative diseases is qualifying
Preferred Qualifications
