Requirements:

• Experience in electrophysiology and imaging.

• First-author publication record in international peer-reviewed journals

Interested applicants should submit a motivation letter, a CV and 2 letters of reference from a current/previous supervisor to María Domercq (maria.domercq@ehu.es) BEFORE 24th DECEMBER 2020, indicating “Myelin Postdoc” in the email subject.
