Brighton, United Kingdom University of Sussex Full time

The School of Life Sciences at the University of Sussex is at the forefront of research in the UK. In the recent Research Excellence Framework assessment (REF 2021), 100% of our Impact cases in Biological Sciences and Chemistry were rated as world-leading or internationally excellent. The School has received substantial recent University investment and is embarking on an exciting and extensive, muti-million pound refurbishment and improvement project.

A Research Fellow in Neuroscience position is available in the laboratory of Tom Baden to study how animal visual systems are adapted to extract and process behaviourally important information from the environment. How visual information is encoded at the first synapse in vision determines the quality and precision of information available downstream.

We will use fluorescent reporters of synaptic transmission and neural activity in conjunction with 2-photon imaging to record signal transmission from cone photoreceptors. In addition, we will reconstruct the underlying morphology in 3D using an SEM data set.

The project involves both experiments and computer-based analysis.
- The University of Sussex values the diversity of its staff and students and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds._
