Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

The Roberts lab is a behavioural neuroscience lab that investigates the prefrontal control of negative and positive emotion with an aim to understand the multi-determined nature of anxiety and depression. We use a wide range of neurobiological techniques including neuroimaging, chemogenetics, wireless recordings of cardiovascular activity, pharmacology and sophisticated cognitive testing in non-human primates. We are looking for an intellectually curious, passionate and motivated postdoc to join a highly collaborative and enthusiastic group of researchers working on a project recently funded by the Wellcome Trust. The focus of this project is the development of social and cognitive behavioural skills pre
- and post puberty and their relationship to milestones of associative brain development.

The ideal post-holder will be a behavioural/cognitive neuroscientist with experience in developmental studies.

The 3-year post is based at purpose-built facilities within the University of Cambridge. Applicants should either have, or will shortly be awarded a PhD in behavioural neuroscience or related disciplines. Prior work in studies of animal behaviour and experience in behavioural neuroscience is essential.

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 3 years in the first instance.

The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
