Working at Charité

Our labs research ( is dedicated to uncovering how experiences transform neural activity. We focus on learning, the neural circuits and codes governing cognitive flexibility and social cognition and the disruption of cognitive processes in models of increased vulnerability to mental disorders. To address these questions, we use rodent models combined with advanced techniques such as large-scale electrophysiological recordings with Neuropixels probes, innovative behavioral paradigms, optogenetic perturbations, and advanced data analysis methods.

For a newly funded project investigating the neural codes underlying cognitive and social behavior, and how these are shaped by early life experience, we are looking for a postdoctoral researcher.
