Candidate 1 will study the effects of age-related hearing loss on=20 auditory perception of temporal fine structure in gerbils. We will=20 causally link perception to cochlear degeneration. The behavioural work=20 will be carried out in the lab of Georg Klump=20 (http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/en/animalphysiology/) Candidate 2 will carry out the complementary study, measuring cochlear=20 electrophysiology (single-unit and evoked responses) and cochlear=20 morphology in the same gerbils as tested behaviourally.This work will be=20 carried out in the lab of Christine K=C3=B6ppl=20 (http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/en/cochlea/). Candidate 3 will use a chicken model where cochlear development is=20 altered by long-term, virus-mediated gene misexpression. We will=20 generate the modified chickens and study the resulting changes in=20 synaptic morphology and the functional consequences for temporal coding=20 at the level of the auditory nerve (single-unit and evoked responses).=20 This work will also be carried out in the lab of Christine K=C3=B6ppl and= =20 will be co-supervised by Ulrike Sienknecht=20 (http://www.uni-oldenburg.de/en/cochlea/). *Your profile *Applicants must hold an academic university degree (M.Sc.) or=20 equivalent in a relevant discipline (e.g., Biology, Neuroscience,=20 Biomedical Engineering, Physics). They should have basic knowledge in=20 statistics and should have used Matlab before. You are enthusiastic=20 about doing a PhD. Candidate 1 would benefit from a background in animal behavioural=20 research or hearing research in general. Candidates 2 and 3 ideally should have previous experience with=20 neurophysiology and/or with immunohistochemistry. Candidate 3 would further benefit from a background in molecular biology=20 and cell culture. *How to apply *Please send your application to A.
