The ENI-G, a joint initiative between the University Medical Center Göttingen and the Max-Planck-Society, provides an exceptional environment for excellent young researchers in the neurosciences.

*We seek:*

Applicants with an outstanding record of research in neuroscience. Topics range from molecular and cellular physiology, neuronal circuit analysis, imaging (at all scales), to computational and cognitive neuroscience. Current work at the ENI-G focuses on physiology, sensory processing and plasticity in multiple species, from invertebrates to humans. Research that complements these already established topics, including computational approaches at the ENI-G is also welcome.

*We offer:*

Group leaders a maximal amount of independence while also providing the support necessary to build up a new research program.

Unparalleled opportunities for scientific collaboration and interaction exist within the Göttingen Research Campus, including the University of Göttingen and its Medical School, three Max Planck Institutes (Biophysical Chemistry, Experimental Medicine, and Dynamics and Self Organization), the German Primate Center and the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience. We will work closely with the recently established Cluster of Excellence "Multiscale Bioimaging: from Molecular Machines to Networks of Excitable Cells (https://mbexc.de/en/)" as well as the newly starting Heart and Brain Center Göttingen.

In addition to the excellent research environment that ENI-G provides, its independent group leaders can benefit from the resources and funding opportunities offered by the Collaborative Research Centers (CRC / SFB) within the Göttingen Neuroscience community. The ENI-G also houses the distinguished graduate program ‘IMPRS Neurosciences’, facilitating interactions with excellent students and providing opportunities for teaching.

You will have an experienced mentor by your side, receive broad administrative support, professional leadership training, and help with relocation and establishing a life in Germany, including visa application, housing, schooling, and day-care. Successful group leaders will have the opportunity to obtain a permanent position after a two step internal and external evaluation.
