I am very happy to announce that our lab will soon move to the University of #Heidelberg to join the Centre for Organismal Studies (COS)

We will build up a new department on Evolutionary Neurobiology with a focus on marine larval behaviour, comparative #connectomics, molecular organismal biology, #neuromodulation and related topics.

We am very excited to move to COS and join its vibrant community. We have a shared interest in the study of organismal biology across the boundaries of biological levels of organization.

There will be new #postdoc and #PhD openings, if you are interested to work with us, please get in touch. Possible topics include #Platynereis neurobiology, eye #evolution, #connectomics, the behaviour of ciliated #larvae etc. You can work on a growing selection of organisms kept in the lab, including Platynereis (still our no. 1), #Trichoplax, #Nematostella or join more exotic projects investigating hard-to-culture marine animals including polyclads, hemichordates or amphioxus.

Alternatively, if you have experience in electron microscopy or image analysis and are interested in volume EM, you can join our #volumeEM projects either to do EM or work on the data analysis side of volume EM and connectomics projects
