Your position
We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong interest in peripheral neuroscience, neuro-immune communication, and tissue biology. The position would be particularly well suited to candidates with expertise in peripheral neural circuits, neuronal tracing, viral or genetic manipulation of neurons, in vivo models, imaging, or computational analysis of single-cell or spatial datasets. Candidates from neuroscience and neuro-immunology are encouraged to apply.
The postdoctoral researcher will join a collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment in Basel, with access to excellent core facilities and expertise in immunology, neuroscience, cancer biology, single-cell genomics, and advanced imaging. The project will be embedded in a dynamic research programme aiming to uncover how peripheral neurons shape immune responses and to identify new therapeutic opportunities by targeting neuro-immune circuits.
Your profile
- A PhD in neuroscience, neuroimmunology or a related discipline
- A strong interest in peripheral neuroscience, neuro-immune communication, and disease biology
- Experience with in vivo models and/or complex experimental systems
- A track record of scientific productivity appropriate to career stage
- The ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team environment
- Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills
- Enthusiasm for interdisciplinary research
Experience with neuronal tracing, viral approaches, mouse genetics, tissue imaging, flow cytometry, single-cell transcriptomics, spatial technologies, or computational analysis would be particularly advantageous.
We offer you
- A fully funded postdoctoral position in an internationally connected research environment
- The opportunity to lead an ambitious interdisciplinary project in peripheral neuroscience and neuro-immunology
- Access to cutting-edge technologies in neuronal tracing, in vivo models, imaging, flow cytometry, single-cell genomics, and spatial transcriptomics
- Close mentorship with support for developing scientific independence, fellowship applications, and future career progression
- Opportunities to collaborate across the Basel neuroscience, immunology, and cancer research communities
- A supportive, ambitious, and interdisciplinary lab environment
