The newly created Center for Molecular Physiology of the Brain (ZMPG)
at the University of Göttingen is offering

A research position for a Physicist/Biophysicist or
Neurobiologist

with training and working experience in electrophysiology and fluorescence
microscopy. Applicants from other backgrounds are invited to apply if their
profile matches the description below since the project allows for extensive
on-site training in the various research fields.  The candidate should possess
a basic knowledge of voltage clamp techniques and fluorescence microscopy and
preferentially have some experience in cell culture techniques, protein
biochemistry and mammalian DNA transfection. Other preferred skills include
basic optical and electrical engineering and programming.

The ZMPG Center is an interdisciplinary research center that is financed by
the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. The Center links the traditional
departments of the various university research institutions, the European
Neuroscience Institute, the Multiple Sclerosis Research Institute, the
Göttingen Center for Molecular Biology, the Max-Planck-Institutes for
Biophysical Chemistry and Experimental Medicine and the German Primate
Center. It also includes the International Graduate Programs in the
Neurosciences, Molecular Biology and Physics/Biophysics. Its
interdisciplinary research program covers four main research areas: (1)
Transcriptomics and Functional Proteomics, (2) Molecular Physiology of
Living Cells, (3) Growth and Development, and (4) Applied Neurosciences.

As a Center of Competence, the ZMPG makes use of broad international
relationships for cooperative programs and training that are already
implemented in Göttingen and will be expanded further. As a consequence, 
junior
scientists will have an excellent opportunity for exchange within local and
European/International Networks of collaborative research.

The pay rate depends on the qualifications with a maximum salary base of BAT
IIa/Ib (including Social Security benefits) according to the German Public
Service regulations.  Women are especially encouraged to apply. Handicapped
applicants with equal qualifications will be given preferential treatment.

A curriculum vitae, statement of professional goals and the names of 
references
should be directed not later than August 31, 2002 to

Prof. Dr. Diethelm Richter,
Chairman
