Job description – project goals
The project is part of the DFG-funded research group RobustCircuit, which is carried out in close cooperation with several neurobiological research groups at the Freie Universität Berlin, the Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, as well as a mathematical research group at the Robert Koch Institute. The goal of RobustCircuit is to investigate the role of imprecision in the assembly of neural circuits and how it affects the structural and functional robustness of these circuits. To investigate this, a number of different imaging techniques (e.g., multiphoton microscopy) will be used to generate time-dependent two- and three-dimensional image data of neurons and subcellular structures. Your task will be to develop and adapt image analysis methods for these data. Automated tracking of (sub-)structures will play a particularly important role.
