Postdoctoral Research Associate in Circuit/Systems Neuroscience
1 month ago
We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Associate to join our team at the University of Cambridge, Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience. The successful candidate will contribute to our research on the organization and function of neural circuits underlying spatial orientation and self-motion perception.
Project Overview
This project aims to explore the interactions between the thalamus and retrosplenial cortex in orientation computations and determine the role of distinct thalamocortical circuits in behaviour. The successful candidate will develop novel behavioural tasks to assess spatial orientation in mice, record neural activity using electrophysiology and/or calcium imaging, manipulate specific circuits and cell types with optogenetics and chemogenetics, and perform comprehensive data analysis.
Key Requirements
- Experimental expertise in in vivo electrophysiology or in vivo calcium imaging.
- Proficiency in programming, particularly in Python or Matlab, and in data analysis.
Desirable Skills
- Expertise in developing quantitative behavioural tasks for rodents.
- Expertise in building and controlling custom experimental setups.
- A solid track record of research achievements and publications.
Research Environment and Training
We are a welcoming and inclusive group, committed to providing mentorship and support for the career development of our lab members. The postdoctoral fellow will join a multidisciplinary research environment, with regular interactions with other neuroscience groups within the department. The Department's seminars, along with events hosted by the Cambridge Neuroscience Network, will offer excellent opportunities for networking and scientific discourse.
Training opportunities will be provided in experimental and computational techniques new to the applicant, including support for attending international workshops and courses. Additionally, the position offers opportunities for collaboration with engineers and computational neuroscientists.
What We Offer
- A stimulating research environment with access to state-of-the-art facilities.
- Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.
- A competitive salary and benefits package.
How to Apply
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and the position may close early once filled. Please submit your application, including your CV and a cover letter, to [insert contact information].
