Postdoc position on the characterization of interactions between neuronal activity and cardiac function in zebrafish larvae with advanced optical methods

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to characterize the interactions between neuronal activity and cardiac function in zebrafish larvae with advanced optical methods. The position will be at the University of Florence, NEUROFARBA Department.

The deadline is: 28th January at 13:00 (CET)

The activity involves the use of advanced functional imaging methodologies for whole-brain mapping of neuronal activity (such as calcium functional imaging, nonlinear microscopy, and light-sheet microscopy), in parallel with monitoring cardiac activity. The researcher will work on transgenic zebrafish lines and will contribute to the quantitative analysis of neurophysiological and cardiac data aimed at identifying patterns of functional correlation. The project is embedded in a highly innovative, multidisciplinary research context, integrating expertise in neuroscience, biophysics, and advanced imaging techniques.
