About the Role

We are inviting applications for an enthusiastic researcher to investigate sensory neurodegeneration within the Centre for Systems Health and Integrated Metabolic Research.

Modern day treatment of cancer has extended peoples lives. However, this success has led to numerous side effects due to the toxic nature of chemotherapeutic agents. A major debilitating side effect of chemotherapy is a high incidence of sensory neurodegeneration in cancer patients. This long-lasting inescapable pain (neuropathic pain) greatly impacts upon the patients quality of life and wider society. Chemotherapy induced sensory neurodegeneration is strongly associated with increased interaction between neurons and the immune system, presented as enhanced neuroinflammation and alterations in metabolism. This research position will evaluate disruption in sensory neural tissue integrity and function through investigating chemotherapy induced inflammation and metabolic disturbance to understand the cause of pain in cancer survivors.

These studies will investigate the underlying novel mechanisms that are attributable to the onset of neuropathic pain. A successful applicant will be embedded within the Centre for Systems Health and Integrated Metabolic Research (SHiMR) as part of the Integrative Neurophysiology theme, and will have experience in performing cell based assays including primary neuronal cell culture, flow cytometry and calcium assays. Experience in performing invivo assays is desirable.

The University is making multi-million-pound investments in both buildings and equipment at the award-winning "green" Clifton campus. The successful applicant will work primarily within our Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (ISTeC) building and have access to our state-of-the-art facilities for imaging and Omics approaches.

Applications close on 4th July 2024

Interview date: week commencing 22nd July 2024.

For any informal queries about the role or the team, please contact Dr Richard Hulse ).

For more details, please take a look at the role profile. We'll still consider applications even if you don't meet every single one of the requirements, so don't be put off if you don't match them perfectly.
