join our team!
We are an international research team with several ongoing ERC- and WWTF-funded research projects that aim to understand the neurobiological mechanisms and functions of signaling molecules and synaptic circuits in the brain using electrophysiological, behavioral, genetic and in vivo imaging tools. We welcome interested and highly motivated scientists from all over the world. See details and current job announcements below.
Master thesis and research internships
Inquiries from highly talented and motivated students who are interested in a 6-12 months research internship and/or MSc thesis project are always welcome. Registration with your current home university is required. Application for ERASMUS fellowships or other funding opportunities (click here for a fellowship database) is highly recommended. For pre-inquiries, contact sarah.melzer@meduniwien.ac.at and attach your CV, motivation letter and transcript of record.
