circuit dysfunction and myelination using a mouse model of psychosis. It assesses oligodendroglial function and prefrontal sphingolipid metabolism before and after psychosis induction and treatment. It also examines the impact of myelination on neural coding in the cognitive circuits. The project will use in-vitro techniques and cell systems for oligodendrocyte characterization. This research aims to advance understanding of schizophrenia pathogenesis and to develop better treatments. Together, both labs have profound expertise in neurochemical, behavioral, and molecular biological techniques related to oligodendrocyte function and schizophrenia models as well as a long history in research on the neurochemical mechanisms of drug effects. The project is funded by the Interdisciplinary Center for Clinical Research (IZKF) of the FAU and offers a participation in the IZKF graduate school with all its benefits.
We are looking for an enthusiastic scientist with a background in either behavioral neuroscience, biochemistry, molecular medicine, biology, or physiology who is interested in experimental in-vitro as well as in-vivo work with mice. Applicants are invited to send a copy of their curriculum vitae, list of publications, a statement of research interests and a letter of recommendation by e-mail to Christian P. Müller (christian.mueller@uk-erlangen.de) or Elisabeth Sock (elisabeth.sock@fau.de).
