Research Associate in Epilepsy Electrophysiology

6 months ago


Manchester, United Kingdom The University of Manchester Full time

Applications are invited for a Research Associate post in Epilepsy Electrophysiology and MRI within the Division of Neuroscience at the University of Manchester.

The Research Associate will undertake research using graphene-based transistor arrays capable of full bandwidth electrophysiological recordings. These devices will be implanted and used to monitor seizures, spreading depolarisations and neuronal activity in vivo models of epilepsy. Working with partners at University College London, UK, and CNM-CSIC, Spain the graphene micro-transistor arrays will be optimised for use with MRI, including concurrent recording of electrographic signals during MRI. This project will involve determining whether electrographic biomarkers of seizure onset correlate with structural and functional abnormalities identified from MRI. You will be expected to contribute to the establishment and maintenance of CNS disease models (Epilepsy and Stroke) in collaboration with other investigators within the Division of Neuroscience at the University of Manchester (Prof Stuart Allan). You will be expected to implant neurophysiological devices capable of long-term monitoring of brain activity. You will be expected to perform detailed analysis from data rich electrophysiological recordings. You will be expected to perform MRI scans on rodents implanted with graphene micro-transistor arrays.

You should hold a PhD in neurophysiology, neuroscience, neurobiology, biophysics, neuropharmacology or equivalent. Experience with rodent in vivo CNS models (Epilepsy/Stroke),electrophysiological recordings of brain activity, and/or imaging is highly desirable. Previous experience in computer programming (Matlab/Python) or signal/image processing is highly desirable. Previous experience in experimental research using implantable devices, biomaterials or nanomaterials and evidence of a developing research publication track record is highly recommended.
