University of Warwick, United Kingdom University of Warwick Full time

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral fellow in neuroscience to work on a new project to investigate the role of inhibitory neurons in the expiratory microcircuit.

The work will develop new tools for parsing out the role of inhibitory neurons in the generation of active expiration, and how they interact with other neurons in the microcircuit. The experiments will map these interactions both functionally and anatomically.

The project offers the opportunity to use cutting edge opto
- and chemogenetic approaches, as well as neuronal tracing techniques. The appointee will be expected to complete all aspects of the project. The experiments will take place in a series of brand new custom built laboratories.

Applicants must hold, or be near completion of, a PhD in respiratory neurobiology or a relevant area of research and have experience in in vivo neuroscience. Appropriate skills in cellular and molecular techniques and analysis are desired. A Home Office personal licence (PiL) is desired but not essential.

The post will be based in the new Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Building, School of Life Sciences, University of Warwick, CV4 7AL.

Applications will be considered of all people, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity.

Interview date: TBC.
