About this position

Instituto Biofisika (CSIC, EHU) is recruiting a fully funded PhD candidate for an interdisciplinary project in experimental neuroscience and biophotonics.

The project is hosted by the Neuronal Excitability Lab and focuses on the geometry and function of the brain’s extracellular space, an important but often overlooked component of neural tissue with growing relevance to brain function and disease.

The successful candidate will work with advanced fluorescence imaging methods, including STED microscopy and two-photon microscopy, using living mouse brain preparations. This is a strong fit for applicants interested in the intersection of neuroscience, optics, microscopy, and physics.

Applicants with backgrounds in physics, optics, microscopy, neuroscience, or related disciplines are encouraged to apply. The position is located in Leioa, Spain.

Application deadline: October 31, 2026. Start date: April 1, 2027.

To apply or ask questions, contact Jan Tonnesen at jan.tonnesen@ehu.eus and use the subject line PID2025 PhD.
