Open Positions

We are looking for a driven and enthusiastic Msc student to work with Cora Olpe on a project (6+ months) focused on investigating cell-cycle dependent apoptosis mechanisms during adult neurogenesis. The project will involve molecular cloning, in vitro culture and differentiation of mouse neural stem cells as well as immunofluorescence staining of tissue sections. Experience with molecular cloning and cell culture preferred. 
For more details refer to www.hifo.uzh.ch/en/research/jessberger/interest.html and check out our recent publications.

Please send a motivation letter and CV to Cora Olpe email

The Jessberger Laboratory at the Brain Research Institute seeks a motivated MSc student (6 or 12 months duration) for an exciting project to build novel stem cell-based tools to record neuronal activation events. Work will include stem cell cultures, cloning, and genome-editing. Prior experience in molecular and/or cellular techniques is preferred. We offer a collaborative research environment and opportunities to enhance scientific skills in neuroscience and molecular biology. For more details refer to www.hifo.uzh.ch/en/research/jessberger/interest.html  and check out our recent publications.
