# Master's project in human neuronal network development

- **Company:** IMBA - Institut für Molekulare Biotechnologie GmbH
- **Location:** Wien, Austria
- **Salary:** €14,868.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** Bioinformatics, Computer Programming, Python (Programming Language)
- **Published:** June 7, 2026

## About the Role

Do you have a Master's degree?, Applicants should be highly motivated and have an outstanding interest in brain development and neuroscience.

Experience in molecular biology and cell culture is essential. Bioinformatics experience (or general programming skills in Python and R) is an advantage.

## Description

Using state-of-the-art genetic and electrophysiological tools, this project aims to understand how healthy network activity is established in human brain development and to identify the mechanisms by which genetic perturbations derail this process. In this project, the techniques that the applicant will be exposed to include:

 * Human stem cell and organoid culture
 * AAV production
 * Rabies-virus-based monosynaptic tracing
 * Advanced intra- and extracellular electrophysiological techniques
 * Bioinformatics analysis
 * Immunohistochemistry
 * Confocal and 2-Photon microscopy
