Recruitment

We recruit PhD students primarily through the IMPRS for Brain and Behavior in Bonn. Selection is competitive and includes interviews in Bonn.

For current deadlines and application windows, please check the IMPRS website directly.

We also welcome direct inquiries from postdoctoral candidates with strong interests in systems neuroscience, circuit methods, and computational analysis.

In addition, we are currently advertising a joint postdoctoral opportunity with the Sinz Lab.

Scientific Data and Code Handling

We use structured, reproducible workflows for acquisition, curation, analysis, and long-term reuse.

ADAMACS (Architectures for Data Management and Computational Support) is our framework for managing and analyzing complex multimodal datasets. Built around DataJoint-based pipeline management, it supports structured data storage, metadata integration, computational workflows, and reproducible processing across experiments.
