Fixed-Term- 2 years

Contribute to World-Leading Research

We are seeking a highly skilled Postdoctoral Research Fellow to contribute to our programme of world-leading research in the Simons Initiative for the Developing brain. The successful candidate will use whole cell patch clamp electrophysiological assessment of rat models of ASD/ID as well as in vivo expression of viral vectors to determine cell-type specific functional properties.

This is a full-time position (35 hours per week), however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. The salary for this post is £40,247 to £47,874 per annum.

Key Requirements

  • A PhD in Neuroscience or related discipline
  • Expertise in single-cell electrophysiology (whole-cell patch-clamp) in rodent brain slices
  • Experience in performing intracranial stereotaxic injections in adolescent rats
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
