The Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology in Martinsried near Munich conducts basic research in the field of development, function and diseases of the nervous system. The institute is part of the Martinsried Campus of the Max Planck Society.

The Department Genes–Circuits–Behavior at the Max Planck Institute of Neurobiology is looking to hire a data scientist with an interest in neuroscience, genetics and brain atlas development or a neurobiologist with affinity for brain anatomy, big data and machine learning.

Data Scientist/Neurobiologist for Zebrafish Brain Atlas 2.0

Our group has assembled a large collection of single-neuron morphologies and gene expression patterns, which we have registered to a standard brain of the zebrafish larva (see Kunst et al., Neuron 2019). Now we are in the process of advancing this resource by integrating functional imaging data, EM connectomes and other data modalities.

The position is best suited for a systematic thinker who enjoys coding as much as high-quality visuals. You need good judgment, communication skills, logical thinking, a passion for science and an eye for details. Your salary will be that of a staff scientist/postdoc and commensurate with your experience.

The position is initially limited to a period of 2 years. An extension is possible and contingent on the availability of funding.

The Max Planck Society adheres to equal opportunity principles. We welcome applications from candidates of any background or gender. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more severely disabled people. Applications from severely disabled persons are explicitly encouraged.
If interested please direct your inquiries and apply with a succinct letter of motivation, a CV and the names of two or three references to Herwig Baier hbaier@neuro.mpg.de .The search will continue until the position is filled.
