An exciting opportunity has arisen for a postdoctoral electrophysiologist within the Auditory Cortical Circuits Lab in the School of Medicine at the University of Nottingham (Mental Health and Clinical Neuroscience Unit). The position is based in the Hearing Sciences building based on the picturesque University Park Campus.
Nottingham has been at the centre of hearing and tinnitus research in the UK for over 45 years. We use insights generated from the lived experience of people and the clinic to guide the basic science that we do. We study how the auditory system works, how and why it can go wrong, and what we can do to help those with problems by technology or treatment strategies.
The purpose of the role is to try to reverse some of the impact of hearing-loss on auditory neural circuits using opto/chemogenetics techniques (and measuring success using electrophysiological neural recordings). Tasks will include terminal (optogenetic manipulation/electrophysiological recordings) and recovery (hearing-loss induction and intracranial injections) procedures in mice as well histology (electrode track confirmation/antibody labelling).
You will manage, plan and conduct research, resolving problems that arise, write up your research findings and collaborate with colleagues on areas of shared interest. There is also the potential to present your work at conferences and to develop future funding applications. As a member of the team you will be expected to strive for excellence, behave professionally/ethically, respect other staff members and help to create an environment of inclusivity.
You must have a PhD (or close to completion) or equivalent in biology, neuroscience, psychology, or a related field or the equivalent in professional qualifications and experience in research area. It is essential to have practical experience performing aseptic neurosurgery and electrophysiological recordings. In addition, you must hold an active Home Office issued Personal Licence for work in rodents. Experience working with rodent models is desirable.
The University of Nottingham provides generous employment packages whilst supporting the well-being of our staff to help them reach their full potential. As a university employee, you will have an excellent choice of benefits and rewards, including access to fitness and health facilities, staff discounts and travel schemes, along with a competitive holiday allowance and a highly attractive pension scheme. The University of Nottingham is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
The post will be offered on a full-time hours per week), fixed-term contract available until 31st July 2025 (with the possibility of extension subject to funding).
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr Joseph Sollini, email: Please note that applications sent directly to this email address will not be accepted.
Requests for secondment from internal candidates may be considered on the basis that prior agreement has been sought from both your current line manager and the manager of your substantive post, if you are already undertaking a secondment role.
