Postdoctoral Researcher – Ion Channel Pathophysiology

Location: Prague, Czechia | Contract: 2 years, fixed-term | Start: ASAP 
We are seeking a motivated postdoctoral researcher to study calcium channelopathies and pharmacology
What you will do:
Investigate ion channel function and pharmacology using patch-clamp electrophysiology
Design and execute experiments, analyze data, and contribute to publications
Collaborate in a dynamic, international research team
Who we are looking for:
PhD in physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience, or a related field
Experience with ion channels and patch-clamp preferred

PhD Student – Ion Channels in Dravet Syndrome

Location: Bratislava, Slovakia | Contract: 3 years, fixed-term | Start: ASAP 
We are seeking a motivated PhD candidate to study  neuronal-cardiac crosstalk in Dravet syndrome
What you will do:
Dravet syndrome (DS), caused mainly by SCN1A mutations, carries a high risk of SUDEP, with emerging evidence suggesting cardiac involvement in addition to seizures. This PhD project will use patient-derived iPSCs to investigate neuronal and cardiac phenotypes, aiming to link SCN1A dysfunction to altered excitability and SUDEP risk. The work will combine patch-clamp, MEA, confocal imaging, and molecular biology approaches.
Who we are looking for:
Motivated and curious PhD candidate ideally with a background in neuroscience, physiology, or molecular biology, and an interest in electrophysiology and disease modeling.
